Taylor Swift skips Travis Kelceā€™s Kansas City Chiefs game vs. Minnesota Vikings

Taylor Swift was sadly MIA from Travis Kelceā€™s latest NFL game over the weekend.

Fans were disappointed to see that the ā€œā€¦Ready For It?ā€ singer was not in the stands for the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Minnesota Vikings game at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minn., on Sunday amid her blossoming romance with the football tight end.

ā€œWhen RedZone breaks in with a special announcement like thereā€™s a catastrophic injury or situation in Minnesota, and they announce that Taylor Swift is not in attendance. SMH,ā€ one sports fan wrote via Twitter.

ā€œIf you were tuning in to the Chiefs-Vikings game to see Taylor Swift, youā€™ll just have to picture her in your wildest dreams,ā€ a tweet from The Athletic read. ā€œShe is not in attendance in Minnesota to watch Travis Kelce.ā€

Others joked about actually having to watch football, tweeting things like, ā€œNo Taylor? Whatā€™s the point,ā€ ā€œI need a journalist in Minnesota to see how many people only went to the Vikings vs Chiefs game hoping to see Taylor Swiftā€ and ā€œIs the Love Story over?ā€

Fans have patiently been waiting for another Taylor Swift NFL appearance amid her blossoming romance with Travis Kelce.

Itā€™s unclear why Swift was a no-show this weekend as her schedule appears to be wide open. She seemingly has a break until she returns to her Eras Tour next month.

Swift made her first appearance at a Chiefs game this season during the teamā€™s home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 24.

At the time, the Grammy winner was seen laughing and cheering on her new beau as he helped lead the Chiefs to a 41-10 victory over the Bears. She watched the game from a VIP suite with the athleteā€™s mom, Donna Kelce.

Since then, Swifties havenā€™t stopped tuning into Chiefs games in hopes of seeing Swift in the stands.

Swift, 33, and Travis, 34, continued the post-game celebrations by leaving the stadium together in a getaway car. They were then spotted showing subtle PDA at a private party at Prime Social.

Last weekend, Page Six exclusively reported that the two-time Super Bowl champion paid a visit to Swiftā€™s New York City apartment just hours before the Chiefs took on the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ.

Swift once again cheered on Travis and the Chiefs (who beat the Jets 23-20), this time with an entire entourage in tow.

In addition to Travisā€™ mom, Swift watched the game alongside A-list pals like Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman and Sabrina Carpenter.

ā€œAs all the attention comesā€¦it feels like I was on top of the world after the Super Bowl and right now Iā€™m even more on top of the world,ā€ Travis told reporters in a post-practice press conference Friday, after previously calling out the NFL for ā€œoverdoing itā€ with their coverage of his relationship.

ā€œIt comes with it,ā€ he added of how heā€™s personally been handling all the extra paparazzi following his every move. ā€œYouā€™ve got a lot of people that care about Taylor, and for good reason. You just gotta keep living and learning and enjoying the moments.ā€

The two were later spotted showing some subtle PDA at a post-game party.

The low-key party, held at Golden Ox steakhouse in Missouri, was attended by some of his closest pals, though one highly anticipated guest ā€“ Swift ā€“ was notably absent from the festivities.

Travis previously called out the NFL for putting too much attention on his romance with Swift.

Meanwhile, Travisā€™ mom made a few press appearances of her own earlier this week, where she remained tight-lipped on her sonā€™s new lover.

ā€œI donā€™t like to talk about it. Itā€™s just one of those things where everyone saw me,ā€ Donna said on the ā€œTodayā€ show Friday, simply calling her interaction with Swift ā€œOKā€ and remaining unfazed by the attention.

ā€œI was in the boxes with her. Itā€™s another thing thatā€™s amped up my life.ā€
