There was no sign of Taylor Swift on the red carpet as Travis Kelce arrived for the premiere of the Chiefs’ new ESPN docuseries ‘The Kingdom’ on Sunday night.
Patrick Mahomes, Kelce and Co are the subjects of a new six-episode series that was released last week, and the stars of the show waltzed down a red carpet in Kansas City to celebrate the launch.
Kelce was one of the final stars to arrive, pulling up in his $400,000 Rolls Royce Phantom, but fans were disappointed that his superstar girlfriend Swift opted against joining her man for the event.
Instead, both of Travis’ parents – Donna and Ed – were present, as well as the entire Chiefs team and their coach Andy Reid.
In a clip posted to X by a local reporter, the 6ft 5ins tight end can be seen clambering out of his car holding his suit jacket, before leaving the keys with a concierge.
He then proceeded to pose on the red carpet alongside various Chiefs figures including teammates, owner Tavia Hunt, and Tammy Reid – the wife of head coach Andy.

Kelce also hilariously interrupted Coach Reid’s interview with a reporter, shortly after he had waxed lyrical about his star tight end’s girlfriend.
‘She’s a good girl, first of all,’ Reid said of Swift. ‘She might be the most famous lady in the world right now since the Queen has passed away.
‘What a phenomenal person she is. She’s a great leader herself.’
Kelce’s dad Ed had also praised Swift, revealing the reason for his son’s happiness: ‘Taylor, without a doubt,’ came the reply.

He also added: ‘He’s enjoying it, she’s very good for him… they are two people who truly deserve each other.’
Ed also explained why he feels Travis, at the age of 35, is set for his best season yet.
‘I think you’re going to see one of the best season Travis has ever had. Travis is in incredible shape,’ he said, having recently watched him work out in Boca Raton during the offseason.
‘Travis is ready to go and I’m excited about that.’
