While Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are not playing in this year’s Super Bowl, the veteran tight end is still making waves before the big game in San Francisco.
The 13-year NFL veteran and his brother, ESPN analyst Jason Kelce, hosted a star-studded “New Heights” party on February 4. Guests included Baltimore Ravens star Derrick Henry, New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones, Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson, and more.
Fans kept an eye out for Taylor Swift, Kelce’s fiancée. Swift has kept a low profile since the end of the Chiefs’ season. She quietly attended Jack Antonoff’s Grammys after-party last weekend, but the pop star hasn’t been seen with Kelce in public since last month.
The singer could make an exception for the 15th annual NFL Honors on February 5. Kelce is up for this year’s Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, which is regularly referred to as the most prestigious honor at the ceremony.
GettyFans hope to see Travis Kelce’s fiancée Taylor Swift attend the NFL Honors in San Francisco.
The NFL posted a video from inside San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts, where the award show takes place this year, showing chairs saved for both Travis and Jason. The table included two empty chairs, which could be for Swift and Kylie Kelce, the latter of whom has attended several events in San Francisco this week.

Should the “Opalite” singer join Kelce at the NFL Honors, this would mark their first major red carpet event together. Swift, however, did not appear to be at the ceremony.
Amid retirement speculation, the three-time nominee seems to be a frontrunner to win the national Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. And Swift knows how important this award is to the future NFL Hall of Famer. Kelce said after being named his team’s nominee in December, “To be chosen as the team’s Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year is such a great honor. I have so much love for Kansas City and the Chiefs organization, and to be selected once again means everything to me.
“The opportunity to be involved and help kids through Eighty-Seven & Running and working with Operation Breakthrough as well as Ignition Lab has been such a tremendous experience.”
Taylor Swift Regularly Donates to Multiple Charities & Foundations
Swift shares Kelce’s passion for giving back. She famously made donations to local food banks in every city The Eras Tour stopped. More recently, The Store in Nashville announced that the 14-time Grammy winner made a “generous gift” to the organization.
The Store posted on Instagram last month, “We’re incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift for including The Store in her year-end giving. Her generous gift helps us continue providing groceries with dignity and choice to families across Middle Tennessee especially as we prepare to open our second location.
“Thank you, Taylor, for using your voice and generosity to uplift neighbors in need.”
Fans applauded Swift’s generosity in the comments section. The “Opalite” singer made a slew of donations before ringing in the new year. Swift gave $1 million to Feeding America and $1 million to the American Heart Association.
She also made a “generous donation” to the Recording Academy’s MusiCares that “help support our vital programs, resources, & financial assistance for the music community in need,” the foundation posted.
