First dinner and then dancing: Taylor Swift celebrated her birthday with a group of friends. Meanwhile, her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, was conspicuous by his absence.
2023 was Taylor Swift’s year, there’s no question about it. On her Eras tour, she thrilled her fans, also known as “Swifties”, in numerous countries and only cemented her superstar status even more. She was recently named “Person of the Year” by “Time” magazine. And Swift’s love life also made a lot of headlines in the second half of the year.
Taylor Swift celebrates her 34th birthday in New York
The musician has been in a relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce for several months. But of all people, the athlete was missing on Wednesday evening when Swift celebrated her 34th birthday in New York. Together with actress and friend Blake Lively, she appeared at a trendy New York restaurant, where the two met other mutual friends. Model Gigi Hadid was there, as was “Queer Eye” star Antoni Porowski, actor Miles Teller and musician Alana Haim. The party then took place in a nightclub.
In the run-up to her birthday, the US press speculated about Travis Kelce’s alleged plans to throw his girlfriend a big party. Money shouldn’t play a role, it was said. But Kelce stayed away from the boozy party on Wednesday. The reason is his obligations as one of the most important players for the Kansas City Chiefs and the training of his team, reported People magazine.

Travis Kelce is missing
Kelce recently gushed about Swift in an interview. “I’ve never been a man of many words. Being around her and seeing how smart Taylor is was pretty damn overwhelming. I’m learning every day,” he told the Wall Street Journal. This also includes dealing with public interest.
As one of the most successful football stars in the USA, Kelce is used to attention, but not on this level. “Obviously I’ve never dated someone who has that kind of aura about them,” he explained. “But at the same time, I’m not running away from anything. There are paparazzi outside her house every day, every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she just lives and enjoys her life.”
