I can’t pretend to relate to the demanding schedules of the rich and famous, but I can say that I’d be pretty pissed if my boyfriend missed my birthday for a work event. Which may be why fans of Taylor Swift have searched high and low for evidence of whether or not the singer was involved boyfriend Travis Kelce at a Chiefs holiday party on Dec. 13—aka her 35th birthday.

While I would usually advise significant others to skip company party in favor of celebrating his partner, the event proved to be an important night for Kelce, in addition to ringing in the new year with his teammates. In an Instagram feed posted to the Chiefs heir Gracie Hunt’s accountKelce can be seen taking the stage to join Chiefs co-owner and CEO Clark Hunt.
At the party, the name was Hunt Kelce as the team’s nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award. “He consistently uses his platform for good, so it’s my honor and my great honor to recognize Travis Kelce,” Hunt announced to the crowd. Seems like a good enough excuse to have to postpone a lavish birthday celebration.

Swift and the NFL superstar have been dating for almost a year and a half now, so safe to say things are quite serious between the two. According to Page Sixsources close to Kelce have specifically noted that he wants to make this birthday celebration extra special for Swift as a milestone year. Despite his obvious months of planning, he may need to step things up after the week she’s had.
The night before her birthday, Swift made history as the most decorated artist at the Billboard Music Awards of all time and won ten trophies at this year’s awards. The new additions brought her total wins to 49, ultimately putting her ahead of the second most decorated artist, Drake, who has 42 award wins.
And the day of — before Kelce even had a chance to post his own birthday shoutout — the official NFL TikTok account posted a birthday video in honor of Swift, with clips from her many playing days.

Only time will tell what plans the tight end had in store to make Taylor’s 35th birthday feel truly spectacular (fingers crossed we get at least some details from Swift). But based on his past commitment to honoring other milestone moments—as the end of her Eras Tour—I’m willing to bet that he did everything to make this a unique celebration.
