Watch: Why Travis Kelce Won't Be Joining Taylor Swift at Grammys 2025
It's true, swear, scouts honor—Travis Kelce won't be able to attend the 2025 Grammys with Taylor Swift.
Indeed, the Tortured Poets Department singer—who's nominated for six awards at the Feb. 2 ceremony—will be without her boyfriend as she steps onto the red carpet at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena, multiple outlets report, as the NFL player gears up for the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans on Feb. 9, when his Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Philadelphia Eagles.
The tight end was also absent from the 2024 Grammys, where Taylor won the coveted Album of the Year for a historic fourth time and unveiled Tortured Poets, as he prepared for the 2024 Super Bowl, which his team went on to win against the San Francisco 49ers.
Despite missing the Grammys last year, Travis made sure to give his girlfriend a shoutout for her milestone achievements.
"She's unbelievable," he shared during a February 2024 press conference. "She's re-writing the history books herself, and I told her I'd have to hold up my end of the bargain and come home with some hardware too."
At the time, Travis even teased Taylor's yet-to-be-released TTPD album.
"I have heard some of it, yes, and it's unbelievable," he revealed. "I can't wait for her to shake up the world when it finally drops."

As fans would later learn, Taylor's album features two songs about her relationship with Travis, including "The Alchemy" and "So High School."
"Travis is so supportive of the entire album," a source told E! News in April after TTPD's release, "and loves that he is a part of Taylor's story. He is very proud of her."

And the feeling is certainly mutual. In fact, when Travis and the Chiefs defeated the Buffalo Bills to win the 2025 AFC Championship on Jan. 26, she joined the team on the field at Arrowhead Stadium to celebrate.
“I love you so much,” she told Travis, per footage shared to X, formerly Twitter, Jan. 29. “I’m so proud of you, I can’t stand it. Look what you did. Look what you did.”
