Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce will both be in Los Angeles this week but the NFL hunk won’t be accompanying the singer to the 2024 Golden Globes.
Swift, 34, is expected to attend the 81st annual ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday as she’s among this year’s nominees. She earned a nomination in the new Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category for her Eras Tour concert film, which has earned over $250million worldwide in less than three months.
On the same night, Kelce, 34, and his team the Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium, where Swift hosted six sold-out concerts back in August. Despite the big game taking place before the awards show on CBS, a source told Page Six that Kelce plans to jet back to Kansas City with his teammates right after to prepare for the NFL playoffs.
This means no red carpet and no Golden Globes after-parties for Kelce. Swift’s Eras Tour film may help the superstar nab her first-ever Golden Globe win. It hit theaters on October 13 and was filmed at one of Swift’s LA shows on a $15million budget. The nearly three-hour movie documents the show from start to finish, allowing fans who couldn’t grab tickets a chance to experience the magic.
But Swift is up against some steep competition, including box office hits Barbie and Oppenheimer, in the new award category. This year’s Golden Globe nomination is the fifth of Swift’s career as she’s snagged four Best Original Song nods over the past decade. The nominated songs include: Carolina for the film ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’ (2023), Beautiful Ghost for ‘Cats’ (2020), Sweeter Than Fiction for ‘One Chance’ (2014) and Safe & Sound for ‘The Hunger Games’ (2013).
Swift attended the ceremonies for her first three nominations but was noticeably absent from last year’s. In 2020, she was joined by her now-ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn but they walked the red carpet separately. The former couple split in early 2023 after six years of dating. Swift also served as a presenter at the 2019 Golden Globes with Idris Elba. As for any details about where she may be seated this year, Golden Globes executive producers Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner told Variety that Swift can be ‘wherever she wants to be.’
Though they’ll be apart on Sunday night, Swift and Kelce did ring in 2024 together at a NYE party in Kansas City, Missouri over the weekend. Friends shared multiple videos from the night, with a close pal of Kelce’s filming the room at midnight, which is when they inadvertently caught the couple kissing as the clock struck midnight. And another guest filmed themselves amid the celebrations with Travis and Taylor smooching in the background for the entirety of the clip.
They partied the night away after Swift went to cheer Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs on to victory at Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Swift arrived for the game at Arrowhead Stadium wearing a replica of the same Chiefs jacket that Kelce had arrived in for the Christmas Day NFL game which she was also at. A closer looks shows that she has ‘Tay’ stitched into the sleeve of her version – a nickname Travis has used for her before.
They have spent plenty of time together as the singer enjoys a break before a another year of touring in 2024. For Kelce, he is currently in the middle of another relentless NFL season but has at least had two games in Kansas City on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve, allowing more time at home than if the Chiefs had been scheduled to play on the road. Sunday’s win saw the Chiefs wrap up the AFC West, giving Kelce another reason to celebrate after the game.
His team, last year’s Super Bowl winners, now round out the regular season next Sunday in Los Angeles against the Chargers before attention will turn sharply to the playoffs. Swift doesn’t resume her Eras Tour until February but if the Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl – in Vegas on February 11 – she might have to make a mad dash from Tokyo, where she will have just played her first shows on 2024, to the west coast to cheer Kelce on.
