Taylor Swift is reportedly taking some time apart from her husband, Travis Kelce, following the backlash over his Instagram activity. The singer is also expected to miss the Kansas City Chiefs' next home game against the Los Angeles Chargers as she focuses on her music career. The report comes after Kelce liked a video of comedian Shane Gillis' controversial Saturday Night Live monologue, which included insulting comments about women. Swift has not publicly addressed the controversy, and there has been no independent confirmation that the couple are taking time apart. The claims come as attention turns to Swift's upcoming performance at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on October 17.
Taylor Swift To Miss Kansas City Chiefs Game As Career Takes Priority
According to a report by Hollywood Insider's Rob Shuter, Swift will not attend the Chiefs' next home game, which would be her first missed Chiefs home game since December 2024. Instead, the 36-year-old singer is set to perform her Toy Story 5 song, “I Knew It, I Know You,” at the Academy Museum Gala.
A source close to Swift told Shuter, “Taylor loves cheering for Travis, but this weekend is about Taylor. He has his career. She has hers. And right now, hers involves winning an Oscar.”
The report also claimed that Swift wants to add an Oscar to her list of achievements. An industry insider told Shuter, “Taylor has Grammys, sold-out stadiums and billions of dollars. But there's one thing missing from her trophy cabinet - an Oscar. And she wants one badly.”
Travis Kelce Faces Backlash After Liking Shane Gillis' SNL Video
The controversy began after Kelce, 37, liked an Instagram video of Gillis' monologue from Saturday Night Live. The comedian faced criticism for his comments about women's gym clothes during the October 10 episode.
Gillis said, “I haven't been to the gym in so long, I didn't know women just dress like wh***s now? Look, I'm sorry, there's no other way to describe it,” before describing the shorts worn by women at gyms. He added, “And don't look! You're not allowed to look. For real, don't look, because they are filming. I'm in the background of ten TikToks right now.”
Kelce's Instagram activity drew criticism from some fans, who questioned his decision to like the video. However, a source close to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end told Page Six that he “has always been a massive fan of the show” and “he was supporting a friend.”
Neither Swift nor Kelce has publicly confirmed that the controversy has affected their relationship. The reported time apart remains unconfirmed, while Swift's upcoming performance gives her a separate professional focus.
