Travis Kelce spent his weekend competing in the American Century Championship, a high-profile celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe. While fans were quick to notice that Taylor Swift was not by his side, her absence may have been intentional. Rather than steal attention from the NFL legend and the other athletes, Swift likely chose to sit this one out to keep the focus on the game, as per ELLE. The singer skipped last year’s event as well due to Eras Tour commitments, continuing her supportive yet respectful approach.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have noticeably scaled back public appearances this year, not due to issues, but to avoid overwhelming attention.
