Travis Kelce will be conspicuous by his absence from Taylor Swift’s final Eras Tour event in Vancouver tonight, but he has a very good reason. Of course, this is due to his own high-profile day job as one of the NFL’s top tight ends with the Kansas City Chiefs. This week’s schedule has resulted in a frustrating clash for one of the world’s most renowned couples, with Kelce playing for the Chiefs against the LA Chargers at the same time his girlfriend performs for the final time on her tour.
Kelce has attended 14 of Swift’s Eras Tour events, and she has watched him play football 19 times since their relationship began last year. Sunday night will also be Swift’s first game away from Arrowhead this season, having previously played in Kansas City. Kelce will undoubtedly be disappointed to miss such a special night for his other half, as the curtain falls on her sold-out tour show for the final time in Vancouver.
Taylor Swift’s parents, Andrea and Scott have always been with Taylor throughout the Eras Tour and they got emotional as Taylor prepares to round up the Eras Tour. Austin Swift came to hug them as they watch Taylor continue to make history.

The Shake It Off vocalist will play at a sold-out BC Place on the tour’s 149th leg, which has seen her perform in 53 cities across the world to over 10 million people. The tour started in Glendale, Arizona in March 2023, before she had met Kelce for the first time.
Since then, her life has taken a drastic turn, and she now closes her live shows with a long-term partner in the form of one of the NFL’s top stars. According to the BBC, the Eras Tour generated more than $2 billion in ticket sales while also helping local economies.
Swift is now anticipated to take a break from the road, and her downtime will most likely include watching more Chiefs football with her partner. Following their game against the Chargers in Kansas City, the Chiefs will go to Cleveland, where Kelce grew up, next weekend. After that, they’ll face the Texans in their final regular-season home game before traveling to Pittsburgh and Denver.
Swift, Kelce, and company will then look for another Super Bowl run, as Andy Reid’s squad seeks a third consecutive title, with this season’s championship game taking place in New Orleans in February.
