Taylor Swift appears to be skipping Travis Kelce’s Chiefs game vs. Chargers

It appears Taylor Swift is not back in the Chiefs Kingdom starting lineup.

The 14-time Grammy winner appeared to miss friend Travis Kelce’s Chiefs game against the Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday, a week after skipping Kansas City’s primetime win over the Falcons in Atlanta.

The Chargers led 7-0 against the Chiefs in the first quarter.

For Kelce, now in his 12th NFL season, the priority is getting wins amid the recent chatter surrounding his slow start to the year.

“I’ve had a lot of catches in this league, man, I don’t worry about the catches and the yards, and all that, I have the most fun when I get the ball my way, I mean, who doesn’t?” the All-Pro tight end said on Wednesday’s episode of the “New Heights” podcast.

“It’s all about execution and just making sure we do everything we can to win these football games, that’s always going to be the goal.”

The 34-year-old Kelce has eight receptions for 69 yards and zero touchdowns in three games.

Members of the Chiefs, including head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, have insisted Kelce hasn’t missed a step.

“I know people say he’s old or he’s distracted, but the defense doesn’t think about that,” Reid told reporters on Wednesday, according to A to Z Sports.

“Trav is fine. He just remains Trav. He’s working his tail off. He hasn’t lost a step. He doesn’t get distracted.”

Talking heads have suggested that Kelce is focusing elsewhere, concentrating on his off-the-field endeavors and jet-setting with Swift, his girlfriend of more than a year.

Kelce wants to be an impact player for the Chiefs as they pursue a third straight Super Bowl title.

“I’m moving on and still trying to make sure I can help the team in that regard, knowing that I’ve been that weapon for us in the past,” he said on “New Heights.”

Swift, 34, cheered on Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium the first two weeks of the season, both of which were Chiefs victories.
