Should Travis Kelce break up with Taylor Swift?
People noted that Kelce was participating in a golf event in Las Vegas.
However, Elle noted that after Swift sent her private jet to Hawaii, the rumor mill went into high gear that it would return to Australia with Kelce aboard.
Since winning the Super Bowl on Feb. 11, Kelce participated in a victory parade in Kansas City on Feb. 14, before returning to Las Vegas.
The Sydney Morning Herald said Kelce told his father he was interested in making the trip to see Swift perform
“Well, look, we spoke after the Super Bowl, and I asked him, are you going to take off for Sydney, and he seemed keen,” Ed Kelce said.
“He said he’d really like to see Sydney and Singapore, but he wasn’t sure because he has commitments. He is at a celebrity charity golf outing today, which, I think, is in Las Vegas,” he continued.
Ed Kelce said that the conflicting schedules of the musician and athlete make him wonder how their relationship will go.
“I won’t pretend that I don’t worry about it, he is my son, and I worry about him because they will have some challenges in their relationship for sure,” he said.
“But they seem a good fit, and ultimately, they just need to find their way together,” he said.
People noted that when Swift was touring in Argentina in November, Kelce made the trip to South America to catch a show.
Page Six reported on Wednesday, that after the golf event in Las Vegas, Kelce boarded a private jet Wednesday morning to head to Australia to support Swift.
