Travis Kelce arrives for birthday charity event in Kansas City as Chiefs star celebrates turning 35 – but will Taylor Swift be there?

Travis Kelce has arrived for the second annual ‘Kelce Car Jam’ as the Chiefs star prepares to celebrate his birthday at the charity event in Kansas City.

Kelce, who turned 35 on Saturday, is hosting the annual car exhibition once again to help raise money for kids in the Kansas City and Cleveland areas.

It is unclear whether he will be joined on the night by girlfriend Taylor Swift, who is currently enjoying a gap in her international Eras Tour schedule.

But the Kansas City tight end will at least celebrate with brother Jason and his parents Ed and Donna, who were seen shortly after arriving at the city’s airport on Saturday. 

Early crowds show a good turnout for Kelce’s annual event, with many wanting an up-close view of the Chiefs star.

The siblings will kick things off Saturday afternoon by hosting Kelce Car Jam – a showcase of muscle cars and swish rides belonging to Kelce and his motoring enthusiast buddies.

In September, it was reported by US Weekly that Swift was planning on attending the event, with the publication saying: ‘Swift will likely be on hand to celebrate his October 5 birthday with family and friends at his Kelce Car Jam in Kansas City.’

Speaking on his podcast this week, Travis said he planned to show off the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle that he famously drove the pop megastar around Kansas City in last year after she went to her first Chiefs game.

‘This year is the second year we’ve done a car show, basically a block-party style event, that will showcase some of the city’s top automobiles from the Fuel House, a fun car club out here,’ Kelce said.

‘And then I guess a bunch of others that are lined up. It’s gonna be fun. I should have my old school ’70 Chevelle all revved up and ready to rock and roll. If not, I’ll bring one of the other cars that I have.

‘It’s always fun to get out here in Kansas City. Kansas City, they show up every single time that I’ve done anything foundation-wise, and I love them for it.’

Speculation about Taylor heading to Kansas City has swirled all week with a rumor circling about her hiring out a popular barbecue joint Wednesday night for a pre-birthday celebration.

There have been no confirmed sightings of the Bad Blood singer, however, who has made considerable efforts to mask her flight details and whereabouts since the foiled terror attack at her Vienna concert in August.

Swift wasn’t there to watch the Chiefs beat the Los Angeles Chargers 17-10 last Sunday. But, according to one well-placed source, her absence is no indication that her romance with Kelce is cooling off.

She simply doesn’t see much of her boyfriend when he’s playing away games and this season is expected to mostly stick to attending the Chiefs’ home games at Arrowhead Stadium, potentially including Monday night’s clash with the Saints.

That arrangement means they can instead enjoy quality quiet time at the sprawling $6million home Kelce bought last year in an exclusive Kansas City suburb.

The media attention around Kelce has only steadily gained more momentum over the last year

Set in the manicured grounds of a gated community and far from the public gaze it is the perfect bolt-hole for the A-list couple to stage low-key dates, dinners and movie nights.

Kelce and Swift did venture out undetected late last month when swish Kansas City eatery Noka was reportedly closed to the public so they could enjoy an intimate catch-up.
