Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce, opted for Patrick Mahomes' third annual Mahomies Foundation Gala over attending Taylor Swift's inaugural Eras Tour performance in Buenos Aires on Thursday.
While Swift enchanted the Argentine audience, Travis showed his support for Mahomes at the gala held at The Midland Theatre in Kansas City. The Mahomies Foundation, initiated in 2019, focuses on enhancing children's lives through initiatives related to health, wellness, underserved communities, and various charitable causes.
The decision by Travis to attend the gala aligns with the hints he dropped on the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast, where he suggested going "somewhere sunny" during the NFL bye week. The brothers playfully discussed the possibility of Travis heading "closer to the equator" for some sun.
Despite missing Swift's first show, Travis still has the chance to catch her performance in Buenos Aires on Friday and Saturday.
Eli Manning, offering his perspective on bye weeks, emphasized the importance of athletes taking a break to rest their bodies and minds, preparing for the second half of the season.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's relationship has been under the spotlight since they went public in mid-October. Dating rumors sparked when Swift attended several Kansas City Chiefs games in September. The duo made a significant appearance on the season 49 premiere of Saturday Night Live, triggering excitement among Swift's fans.
A source reported to PEOPLE that after the SNL show, Travis and Taylor had a PDA-filled date night at an afterparty at Catch Steak, staying until after 4 a.m. The couple made their relationship Instagram official in late October, with a sweet photo of Taylor kissing Travis on the cheek.
Travis, appreciative of Taylor's presence at his games, remarked on the positive feedback from friends and family in the suite. As the relationship progresses, sources have highlighted their shared work ethic, appreciation for life and careers, and strong family values.
Travis Kelce's decision to attend Mahomes' charity gala reflects not only his commitment to his quarterback but also underscores the balance between personal life and professional responsibilities during the NFL season.
