Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and global pop star Taylor Swift did not attend the Met Gala in New York City on Monday night because their schedules reportedly wouldn't allow it. According to TMZ Sports, Kelce and Swift were invited to the event, but scheduling conflicts prevented them from attending.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were notably absent from the many stars in attendance at the 2025 Met Gala. The appearance would have marked Kelce's Met Gala debut and Swift's first since 2016.

The gala’s co-chairs and committee members are expected to attend. This year, Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo and A$AP Rocky are co-chairing alongside Vogue’s Anna Wintour. LeBron James was named honorary chair, though he said early Monday that he was not attending due to a knee injury.
