Taylor Swift will presumably walk the 2025 Grammy Awards red carpet solo, as it would be highly improbable for boyfriend Travis Kelce to attend the ceremony given his (possibly history-making) NFL schedule.
The Grammys will be held on Sunday, February 2, where Swift, 35, is up for six trophies and is slated to present another category.
It is, however, unlikely that Music’s Biggest Night will become her official red carpet debut with Kelce, also 35. The tight end is currently deep in Kansas City Chiefs practices ahead of Super Bowl LIX.
Kelce, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the rest of Chiefs are currently preparing for their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance. The NFL championship takes place in New Orleans, exactly one week after the Grammys on Sunday, February 9, but the team members have multiple practices and media appearances scheduled prior to kickoff.
The Super Bowl Opening Night is held one day after the Grammys, meaning that Kelce and the Chiefs will be traveling from Missouri to Louisiana in advance. Per the official media schedule, both teams arrive on Sunday. Upon their arrival, athletes will participate in a variety of interviews and practices at local facilities.
The Super Bowl LIX is a rematch of the 2023 game, in which the Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles. The next year, the Chiefs also took home the win over the San Francisco 49ers.
While Swift attended the 2024 game — and is presumably expected to step out at Super Bowl 2025 in New Orleans — Kelce also missed last year’s Grammys. At the time, the pop star took home two trophies for Midnights and announced her 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department, in her victory speech.
During his pregame press conference, Kelce expressed his pride in Swift’s accomplishments.
“She’s unbelievable. She’s rewriting the history books herself,” he gushed in February 2024, when asked about Swift winning her fourth Album of the Year accolade. “I told her I’ll have to hold up my end of the bargain and come home with some hardware too.”
He added, “Taylor has an unbelievable fanbase that follows her and supports her throughout her life and it’s been fun to kind of gather the Swifties in the Chiefs Kingdom. It’s been cool to just experience all of that.”
Of course, Kelce was able to come home with some hardware of his own — his third Super Bowl ring. Swift watched in person, celebrating with her boyfriend on the field with a romantic sideline kiss.
