When Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, wasn’t at the 2024 VMAs, there was a lot of discussion online. Even though there was a good reason given for his disappearance, some fans are still not sure.
Page Six says Kelce missed the event because he had to practice with the Kansas City Chiefs before their game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. A source said that Kelce had to get back to Kansas City by Tuesday, which meant he couldn’t go to the VMAs.
But some fans don’t believe it. People on social media talked about everything from Kelce not liking Swift’s music to the idea that they might be breaking up soon.
One person said, “Maybe he’s just not that into her.” It was a joke that “He didn’t have time to get a matching outfit.”
There were more rumors of a split, and some called it “the beginning of the end.” But neither Swift nor Kelce have said anything about these claims.
Swift’s speech at the VMAs, on the other hand, sparked rumors of a strong connection. When Swift and Post Malone won Video of the Year for “Fortnight,” she thanked Kelce for being there for them during the shoot of the music video.
“When I’d finish a take, I’d hear someone cheering and saying ‘Woo!’ from across the studio,” she said. “That person was Travis, my boyfriend…” Everything he touches turns magical and happy.”
People in the crowd cheered, but people online had different responses. Some people thought Swift’s shoutout was just part of a “publicity deal,” while others thought it was real.
Swift was also nominated for 11 other awards, such as Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Direction. Her performance and speech at the VMAs made people even more curious about her connection with Kelce.
As the rumors keep going, one thing is for sure: Swift and Kelce’s friendship is still interesting to both fans and the media. We don’t know if their relationship will last with all the attention.
