Why Travis Kelce Missed Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Show in Cardiff

Taylor Swift just started her Eras Tour show in Cardiff, Wales, this evening, where her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, wasn’t seen in the audience. There’s a good reason why he isn’t there: The Kansas City Chiefs player has a major football commitment stateside this week.

Kelce arrived yesterday for Tight End University in Nashville, which brings together tight ends in the league for “a variety of activities including film study, on-field drills, recovery, rehabilitation, and more,” per the event’s site. The welcome reception was last night, and the program is running for three days. Its Instagram shared a video this morning of Kelce at the first event. He was also spotted there this morning.

After the summit though, Kelce and Swift’s reunion really could happen. Page Six reported last month that Kelce will be in Cannes, France, on Thursday, June 20, to record an episode of New Heights during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Swift is on break from tour that day, so she could theoretically join him there, or he could join her in London after the event. She is set to begin her first three shows in the British city on June 21.
Swift and Kelce were last seen together in Lake Como, Italy, in mid-May. Over the last month, they have been physically apart.
