Taylor Swift skips Chiefs vs Brown game after private birthday celebration with Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift skipped the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Cleveland Brown game after her private 35th birthday celebration with Travis Kelce.
On Sunday, the singer was nowhere to be seen at the Chiefs’ match held at the Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, per ESPN Cleveland’s X account.
While the Grammy winner rarely attends away games, fans were hopeful she would make an appearance since Cleveland is where the tight end was raised with brother Jason Kelce and parents Donna and Ed Kelce.

Travis, also 35, wanted to play for the Browns as a child but has been with the Chiefs since leaving the University of Cincinnati in 2012.
“Cleveland was always the dream growing up,” he said in a November 2023 “New Heights” episode. “That’s for damn sure.”
Swift has notably been a staple in the stands for her beau throughout his last two football seasons.

Days before the “Lover” songstress opted out of attending Travis’ latest match, the couple got cozy for her milestone birthday on Friday.
Insiders exclusively told Page Six that they celebrated with “just them two.”
“He got her a ton of gifts,” we’re told.

A source told us that Travis attended the Chiefs’ “mandatory” Christmas party in Kansas City, Mo., before he left “early to go be with Taylor for her birthday.”
Swift and the NFL star will likely be spending more time together, as the pop star closed the curtain on her record-breaking Eras Tour after nearly two years of performing across the globe.
Travis, who was present at 14 of his partner’s 152 shows, has been “encouraging” the “burnt out” musician to “relax” after wrapping the massive endeavor.
“[He is] so inspired by her and proud of all the hard work she’s done,” a source told Page Six Wednesday. “At the same time, Travis feels it’s important for Taylor to take some time out for herself.”

The “Cruel Summer” singer made her first public appearance post-tour at the Children’s Mercy Kansas City hospital on Thursday, the night before her birthday.
The songwriter gushed about Travis while visiting young patients, telling a girl who “like[d]” the Super Bowl winner that she “absolutely” agreed.
The duo went public with their romance in September 2024 and sweetly celebrated Thanksgiving together with both of their families.
