Why Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Haven’t Been Seen Together for a Month

This time a month ago, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were photographed together in Lake Como, Italy, following Swift’s May 12 concert in Paris. She gave him multiple tributes on stage, then left France to have an Italian romantic getaway with him. The couple spent a few days enjoying PDA-filled boat rides and candlelit dinners at Grand Hotel Tremezzo’s Villa Sola Cabiati.

They parted ways at the end of the week, with Swift beginning her Stockholm, Sweden, shows on Friday, May 17, and Kelce hosting his music festival, Kelce Jam, in Kansas City, Missouri, on Saturday, May 18. The couple hasn’t been seen together since.

Kelce has had different work commitments throughout his NFL offseason, some connected to football and others linked to his burgeoning acting career. Swift, of course, has been playing her tour dates across Europe.

A source told Us Weekly on May 23 though that Kelce really does intend to see Swift when he can. “He wants to support her as much as he can while he can, so he’s going to [go] back and forth from the U.S. to Europe while he has the time,” the source said.

Below, a breakdown of where the couple has been since their Italy vacation and why their schedules haven’t intersected. Note that Swift has been able to spend her breaks between shows largely out of the public eye.

He dodged a Taylor Swift engagement question during a comedy sketch where Jason Sudeikis asked, while in character, when Kelce planned to make an “honest woman” out of Swift. Kelce just smiled and scratched his beard in response.

A few weeks earlier on May 21, a source told Us Weekly that Kelce was just enjoying the current moment with Swift. “Travis has no plans on proposing to Taylor anytime soon,” the source said. “It’s not even on his radar.
