Taylor Swift was back at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night for Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals, but one familiar face was missing beside her. Travis Kelce was hundreds of miles away in Kansas City attending the team’s mandatory minicamp, which kept him from joining Swift for one of the biggest nights of the NBA season.
The Kansas City Chiefs star is currently attending the team’s required offseason minicamp at the University of Kansas Health System Training Complex. The veteran tight end reported alongside his teammates on Tuesday and has been focused on preparations for the upcoming NFL season.
His football schedule appears to be the reason he was also absent from the “Toy Story 5” premiere in Los Angeles earlier this week. Taylor Swift attended that event on her own and surprised fans with an appearance on the red carpet. The singer also contributed a new original song, “I Knew It, I Knew You,” to the upcoming Pixar film.
Taylor Swift attended Game 4 with longtime friends, Este Haim and Alana Haim, and was seen among several well-known Knicks supporters. The outing came only weeks after Swift and Kelce turned Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals in Cleveland into a public date night.
