Travis Kelce kicked off his 35th birthday in style by hosting the annual Kelce Car Jam on Saturday, a charity event aimed at supporting his Eighty-Seven & Running Foundation. However, the event was notable for the glaring absence of his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, sparking speculation among fans and media alike.

While Kelce's friends, family, and teammates, including Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, as well as his brother Jason and sister-in-law Kylie, showed up to celebrate, Swift was nowhere to be seen. Kelce himself acknowledged her absence, stating, "She will not be here. I know she’s coming in for the game," implying that fans can expect her return during the highly anticipated Monday Night Football matchup against the New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium.

Despite Swift missing the past two Chiefs games on the road—against the Atlanta Falcons and the Los Angeles Chargers—her devoted followers are eagerly awaiting her appearance back on the sidelines. It's worth noting that the couple hasn’t been spotted together publicly since their outing at the U.S. Open last month, adding to the curiosity surrounding their relationship.

As Swift prepares to continue her Eras Tour, with her next concert in Miami on October 18, the timeliness of her return to Arrowhead has some questioning how she’ll balance her busy schedule with supporting Kelce. Meanwhile, the tight end is hoping for another highlight this season, recently expressing to People, "I want another Super Bowl, if you’ve got one!" Kelce had a stellar week against the Chargers, making seven catches for 89 yards, and he’s hungry for more.

The Kelce Car Jam was not just a birthday bash but also a vibrant gathering with various vehicles on display, tons of delicious food, and drinks, the proceeds of which all go to support underserved youth in Kansas City and Cleveland. Kelce was accompanied by his proud parents, Ed and Donna, making the event even more special as they celebrated his impactful work off the field.

As the Kansas City Chiefs gear up to face a challenging opponent in the Saints, fans are left wondering if this will be the week Kelce finally finds the end zone, especially with Mahomes missing his top target, Rashee Rice, due to injury. Could Swift’s return provide the spark Kelce needs to elevate his game and help push the Chiefs closer to another Super Bowl victory? Football fans everywhere will surely be tuned in to find out!
