Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce were noticeably absent from the 2025 Met Gala, choosing a romantic escape over fashion’s biggest night. Despite online speculation about a potential run-in with Kim Kardashian, insiders confirm their decision had nothing to do with past feuds — and everything to do with quality time together.
According to People, the couple opted for a private getaway, continuing a trend of staying low-profile during Kelce’s NFL off-season. “They have been traveling nonstop and really enjoy it,” a source revealed. “They’re making the most of their time off, spending it with friends and cherishing each other’s company. It’s a special time for them.”
Swift, 34, and Kelce, 34, have been inseparable in recent months. Their last public appearance dates back to mid-March when they were spotted dining at Del Frisco’s Grille in NYC. Since then, they’ve stayed out of the spotlight, prioritizing privacy and personal connection.
The couple’s absence comes amid a wave of surprise no-shows at the 2025 Met Gala, including one of the honorary co-chairs, Jennifer Lopez. DailyMail confirmed that Lopez skipped the event due to filming commitments for her upcoming movie Office Romance in New Jersey — just minutes away from the venue.
Despite missing the glamour of the red carpet, Swift and Kelce continue to captivate fans with their down-to-earth romance, reminding the world that sometimes, love takes precedence over the spotlight.
