Why Travis Kelce Chose Not to Fly to France for Taylor Swift’s Lyon Eras Tour Shows REVEALED!
Taylor Swift returned to France over the weekend to perform her Eras Tour concerts in Lyon on Sunday and Monday. Missing from both was Travis Kelce, Swift’s boyfriend who is in his NFL off-season.
Kelce instead kept a low profile the last two days after a big Saturday in Kansas City, Missouri, and an even bigger Friday in Washington, D.C.
On Saturday, the athlete performed at 2024 Big Slick Celebrity Weekend. His sketch with Jason Sudeikis made headlines, as Sudeikis asked Kelce when he plans to propose to Swift while in character. Kelce smiled, stroked his beard, and dodged the question.
On Friday, Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs met President Joe Biden at the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl win.
Despite his absence, Kelce was on Swift’s mind the first night of her Lyon performances. Fans captured footage of her smiling broadly while singing a football-related lyric in “Fifteen”: “But in your life, you’ll do things greater than / Dating the boy on the football team / But I didn’t know it at 15.”
It’s been a couple weeks since Swift and Kelce were last spotted together publicly.
In mid-May, they were photographed in Lake Como, Italy. Kelce had traveled to Paris for her last Eras Tour show in the city on May 12, then they went on their romantic trip the next day.
After their brief private vacation, Swift traveled to Stockholm, Sweden, for her weekend shows there, and Kelce returned to Kansas City, Missouri, for his May 18 Kelce Jam music festival.
So when will they reunite? Only they know. Swift has a few days off before she continues her tour in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Friday. Kelce also hasn’t publicly shared his schedule for the week.
He will definitely be in Europe this month though. Page Six reports that on June 20, Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, will be recording an episode of their podcast, New Heights, during the Cannes Lion International Festival of Creativity in France.
At that point, Swift will be about to start her London shows on June 21. She has a two-day gap in her schedule after finishing her June 18 Cardiff show, so she could spend that time in Cannes with her boyfriend if she feels like traveling more.
Photos from the couple’s Italy trip did not come out until after they left Lake Como; the same thing happened with photos from their Bermuda trip earlier this year. Swift is a master at flying under the radar when she wants, so it’s possible she and Kelce could take another secret vacation this summer.
Kelce hasn’t spoken about when he’ll reunite with Swift again, but a source told Us Weekly that he is keen on seeing her as much as he can before his football season begins again with training camp on July 23.
The source explained on May 23, “He wants to support her as much as he can while he can, so he’s going to [go] back and forth from the U.S. to Europe while he has the time.”
