While Travis Kelce is not playing in this year’s Super Bowlaand opted out of the Pro Bowl, he’s one of the main draws in San Francisco leading up to the big game.
Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, co-hosted a star-studded “New Heights” party on February 4 before attending the 15th annual NFL Honors on February 5. While Jason helped present the first-ever Protector of the Year Award to Chicago Bears offensive lineman Joe Thuney, Travis appeared on stage as one of the 32 Walter Payton Man of the Year nominees.
Travis did not win the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, as that honor went to Washington Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner. However, that didn’t stop him from attending the Tight End & Friends after-party, where he had a blast vibing to Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” behind the DJ booth.

Swift didn’t attend any of the festivities with her future husband in San Francisco. However, she still made headlines after the premiere of her latest music video for “Opalite,” a song inspired by her romance with Kelce.
Taylor Swift Broke Spotify’s Record for the Most-Streamed Music Video in a Single Day
The 36-year-old pop star wrote and directed the music video for “Opalite,” which premiered on February 6. Spotify announced on Friday night, “Swift’s ‘Opalite’ became the most-streamed music video in a single day in Spotify history.”
But that’s not all. She also recorded the largest streaming day in Spotify history across four categories: artist, album, song, and music video.
Unlike her previous music videos, which were released on YouTube, Swift only released this video on Apple Music and Spotify Premium.
While it’s hard to pull attention away from the biggest game in the world, Swift did just that two days before Super Bowl LX. The 14-time Grammy winner wrote and directed the ’90s-style video that stars Domnhall Gleason and features cameos by Jodie-Turner Smith, Greta Lee, Lewis Capaldi, Graham Norton, and several “Eras Tour” dancers.

Swift is clearly Kelce’s biggest fan and loves watching him play. During a guest appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” while promoting her latest album, Swift revealed that she’s way too into the game to even think about doing the Super Bowl halftime show.
“Here’s the thing,” she said. “We’re always able to tell (Jay-Z) the truth, which is that I am in love with a guy who does that sport on that actual field.
“That is gladiators without swords. That is dangerous. The whole season I am locked in on what that man is doing on the field. Can you imagine if he’s out there every single week putting his life on the line, doing this very dangerous, very high-pressure, high-intensity sport, and I’m like, ‘I wonder what my choreo should be. I think we should do two verses of ‘Shake it Off’ into ‘Blank Space’ into ‘Cruel Summer’ would be great.'”
In the meantime, Bad Bunny is headlining the Super Bowl halftime show LX on February 8.
