Met Gala 2025 was a star-studded event, but it also saw several major absences. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were one of the most anticipated couples at the event, but the pair chose to skip the occasion for a valid reason. A source exclusively told TMZ that the power couple were invited but decided to sit out due to their professional commitments. The two stars have been spending quality time together, away from the public eye, making fans long for their joint public appearance. However, neither Coachella nor the Met Gala could fulfill their wishes.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were invited to Met Gala but skipped, ‘source’ claims
It looks like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are taking their sweet time to make an appearance together. While the Met Gala 2025 on May 5 could have been a potential venue for their joint arrival, the couple couldn’t make it. According to TMZ, sources revealed that the pair was invited to the charity event but couldn’t find the time to attend it because of their hectic work schedules.
Swift and Kelce have reportedly been spending time away from the public eye since Super Bowl 2025. Since February, they swapped a life away from the spotlight for making personal and cherished memories together. These include going on a romantic getaway or getting a few secret date nights in.
In March, Swift and Kelce headed out for a dinner outing in New York City. The same month, insiders revealed that the couple embarked on a secret holiday in Montana with close friend and sports commentator Erin Andrews. It seems like the couple is choosing time with each other over public appearances like Coachella or the Met Gala.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift has been a no-show at the Met Gala since her last appearance in 2016. The singer was a co-chair at the event, making her red carpet arrival in a snakeskin-inspired dress with waist cutouts and paired with long strappy heels. The pop icon has made a total of six appearances at the gala since 2008.
Since Taylor Swift began dating Travis Kelce in 2023, the couple has made many public appearances. However, they are yet to make a red carpet debut.
