Is Taylor Swift at NFL Honors Banquet? Updates on If Pop Star Is at Travis Kelce’s Side During NFL Awards Show
By Jake Mozarsky

As the excitement for Super Bowl 60 builds, the NFL Honors banquet takes center stage on Thursday night, celebrating the best of the 2025 NFL season. Awards like MVP, Rookies of the Year, and the prestigious Walter Payton Man of the Year are handed out, with many of the league’s top stars in attendance.
One of those stars is Travis Kelce, the future Hall-of-Famer and Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who is attending the event after his first Super Bowl absence in four years. Though Kelce’s future with the NFL is often a subject of speculation, he is in San Francisco for the NFL Honors festivities.
At the event, Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce are seated at the same table, with two seats open next to them—likely reserved for their respective plus-ones. This naturally raises the question that has surrounded Kelce for the past few seasons: Is Taylor Swift joining him at the event?
Is Taylor Swift at the NFL Honors?
As of now, there have been no reports confirming Taylor Swift’s attendance at the NFL Honors. Though Kelce is present and seated with his family, there is no word on whether the pop superstar is by his side for the occasion.

Swift has kept a low profile during many of the Chiefs’ 2025 games, reportedly due to security concerns, but her presence has still been felt. The couple tied the knot in June, and despite not being seen at every game, Swift continues to show support for her husband’s career. Fans were hoping for a reunion at the NFL Honors, but no concrete sightings of Swift have been reported thus far.

What Will Taylor Swift Wear to the NFL Honors?

Is Travis Kelce Retiring?
As for Kelce’s future, he has yet to make a decision about retirement. At 36, Kelce is coming off his 13th season in the NFL and is taking some time to focus on his well-being. He recently shared that he’s taking a break to focus on “being a human” for a few weeks before deciding his next move.
For the first time in his career, the Chiefs missed the playoffs, finishing with a 6-11 record. This disappointing outcome came after a major setback in Week 15, when Patrick Mahomes suffered a season-ending ACL tear, casting doubt over the team’s competitiveness heading into the 2026 season.
Kelce himself posted solid, though not quite “peak,” numbers during the season, recording 76 receptions for 851 yards. He later withdrew from the 2026 Pro Bowl to allow his body time to heal. On his podcast, New Heights, Kelce opened up about his future, saying that if he feels he can go for another “21-week run,” he would “return in a heartbeat.”
Despite the uncertainty, Kelce’s value is not in question. Eric Bieniemy, the newly hired offensive coordinator for the Chiefs, has expressed his excitement to work with Kelce again, and team owner Clark Hunt has publicly pushed for his return, praising Kelce as one of the league’s top leaders.

Ultimately, the decision will rest with Kelce, who has expressed a desire to make his choice with the support of his family and close friends. For now, fans will have to wait for the tight end to decide whether to continue his Hall-of-Fame-worthy career or step away from the game.
