Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce will be notably absent from this year’s Grammy Awards,

creating a potential clash with pop sensation Taylor Swift’s anticipated appearance at the ceremony.

According to reports from TMZ, Kelce’s absence is attributed to the strict Super Bowl schedule enforced by the Kansas City Chiefs.

The 34-year-old football star is slated to arrive in Las Vegas over the same weekend as the music industry’s biggest award ceremony, which is scheduled to take place at the Crypto Arena in Los Angeles, also known as the home of the Lakers. This scheduling conflict also means Kelce will be unable to participate in the Pro Bowl, also scheduled for Sunday in Orlando, Florida.

Kelce, who received his ninth straight nomination to play in what was formerly known as the NFL All-Star Game, has been a consistent presence in the Pro Bowl since 2015. However, his commitment to the Chiefs and their Super Bowl journey takes precedence this year.

Meanwhile, Swift, who is nominated for six awards at the Grammys, will have to navigate the red carpet solo as her boyfriend Kelce fulfills his Super Bowl obligations. Despite the conflicting schedules, there is no indication of any strain in their relationship. Kelce recently expressed his love for Swift following the Chiefs’ victory over the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game.

In addition to his football career, Kelce is set to be featured in a comic book by Tidle Wave Comics, chronicling his life both on and off the field. The comic, titled “Fame: Travis Kelce,” is scheduled for release on February 7th and will delve into Kelce’s college and NFL journey, his hosting stint on Saturday Night Live, his podcast “New Heights with Jason Kelce,” and his philanthropic endeavors, including his relationship with Swift.

The romance between Kelce and Swift has garnered significant attention, spiking interest across social media platforms and even impacting merchandise sales. Tidle Wave Comics has updated its Taylor Swift comic book series, featuring the singer dressed as a cheerleader, to align with the buzz surrounding the couple.

As Kelce gears up for the Super Bowl on February 11th, Swift’s own schedule may prevent her from attending, as she is slated to perform in Tokyo on February 10th as part of her “Dearest Tour.”

While Kelce’s absence from the Grammys may disappoint fans hoping for a glimpse of the couple together, their respective commitments underscore their dedication to their careers and the demands that come with them.
