Travis Kelce Staying in Kansas City for Mandatory Practice amid Reports of Taylor Swift’s NYC Birthday Bash

While Taylor Swift celebrates her 34th birthday, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs is focusing on football as he and his squad prepare for their game against the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Speculation over how the pair, both 34, would mark Swift’s birthday on Wednesday started when stories appeared that Kelce was arranging an elaborate birthday event for the “Anti-Hero” singer in New York City.

However, the NFL star will be in Kansas City for obligatory sessions on Wednesday, according to PEOPLE.

Sources close to Swift and Kelce have stressed their dedication to their respective jobs, and the pair celebrated her birthday early with pals in Kansas City on Sunday at a Christmas party.

Though the Chiefs were defeated by the Bills that day, the duo looked to be in high spirits as they joined the squad and pals for a celebration later that night at a Christmas pop-up bar in Kansas City.

Throughout the evening, the pair was seen smiling with partygoers and sharing passionate kisses in group shots.

“He is a gentleman,” a source told PEOPLE last month of the NFL star. “He is completely focused on his career.” He has a close connection with his family. He has an incredible enthusiasm and оutlооk on life.”

“It all feels very special,” said the insider.

The NFL great has continued to demonstrate his dedication to assisting Kansas City in defending their Suρer Bowl championship.

And Swift is ultra-supportive of her beau and his strong work ethic.

When Kelce became the fastest tight end in NFL history to reach 11,000 receiving yards last month, Swift was quick to show her support for her man’s history-making efforts and liked an Instagram post from the Chiefs celebrating the record.

Travis’s brother Jason Kelce pointed out her support on their New Heights podcast later that week, noting, “You might not care about records, but you know who does, a 92 percent-er by the nаme of Taylor Swift. That’s right. She liked an Instagram announcement from the Chiefs about you breаking this record.”

Kelce has shown his support for Swift when he has the downtime as well. The NFL tight end flew in to support the musician on the South American leg of her Һit tour last month, and the couple delighted fans with a romantic moment together at one of her shows in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
