Travis Kelce, hailing from Tight End University in Tennessee, has shifted gears from sports to the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in France this week. Alongside his brother, Jason Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs player took the stage at Sport Beach to discuss their podcast, “New Heights,” and their dynamic as siblings and colleagues. Despite speculation, Taylor Swift, Kelce’s girlfriend currently on her Eras Tour in the U.K., was absent from the audience, having just performed in Cardiff, Wales, the previous day and with a London concert scheduled for tomorrow.
Mark Penn, CEO of Stagwell, which organized Sport Beach, expressed doubts about Swift’s attendance to Page Six, citing logistical challenges. Caroline McCarthy, a marketing executive, echoed these sentiments on social media, affirming that Swift’s non-attendance had been anticipated in Cannes planning circles for weeks due to security considerations.
Swift and Kelce, who last appeared together publicly during a vacation in Lake Como, Italy in mid-May, have been navigating busy schedules on separate continents over the past month. Their potential reunion later this week would mark their first public appearance together since then.
