Travis Kelce spent a star-studded charity fundraiser weekend with his family, teammates and other stars as his girlfriend Taylor Swift spent a girls’ night out in New York City with her longtime friend Selena Gomez.
On Saturday, May 31, the 35-year-old Chiefs tight end made an appearance at the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend in Kansas City, Mo., alongside celebrities who have roots in the Midwestern city — including quarterback Patrick Mahomes, his brother Jason Kelce, Paul Rudd, Heidi Gardner, Rob Riggle, Jason Sudeikis and Eric Stonestreet.

At Saturday’s event — a comedy show held at the city’s T-Mobile Center to raise funds for patients at Children’s Mercy Hospital — the Super Bowl champ was filmed goofing around and posing for pictures with Mahomes, his brother and other stars as he wore a black Palm Angels tracksuit and a matching black trucker hat.
Other clips circulating on social media showed Kelce walking into the cheering audience to catch a stray football, taking the stage to lift Rudd up in the air and cheering on Jason, 37, as he made a surprise cameo and snapped a ball to Mahomes. Jason, a former center for the Philadelphia Eagles, retired from the NFL in March 2024.

Although Kelce’s girlfriend Swift, 35, was not in attendance at the charity event, the 14-time Grammy winner held her own celebrations on Saturday with her longtime friend Gomez, 32, in New York City, PEOPLE previously reported.
The outing followed her announcement that she bought her masters — regaining control of her music catalog — after a years-long public ownership feud involving record executive Scooter Braun.
“You belong with me. 💚💛💜❤️🩵🖤,” Swift cleverly captioned an Instagram carousel announcing the purchase this week, including a nod to her 2008 hit song of the same name from her album Fearless.
Swift’s post featured three photos of her sitting on the floor of a portrait studio, surrounded by her first six albums. During the years-long battle for ownership of her music, Swift famously re-recorded several of those albums as “Taylor’s Version” recordings.
Gomez celebrated her BFF after she made the news public, writing in an Instagram Stories post, “Yes you did that Tay. So proud!”
