Will Travis Kelce walk the Met Gala carpet with Taylor Swift? Fans speculate fashion’s most unexpected couple moment

It’s been nearly ten years since Taylor Swift last appeared on the Met Gala red carpet, but 2025 could mark her highly anticipated return and this time, fans believe she might not come alone. Speculation is swirling that Swift could be joined by Kansas City Chiefs star and boyfriend, Travis Kelce marking their first-ever red carpet appearance as a couple.
Why Swifties think 2025 is different
While the 'Cruel Summer' singer has never brought a partner to the Met Gala before, the excitement around Kelce being her date has reached new highs this year. According to People, Swift was unable to attend the 2024 Met Gala due to intense Eras Tour rehearsals. But with that whirlwind global tour now behind her and her schedule lightening, fans feel the timing is finally right.
A break in their busy lives
From March 2023 to December 2024, Swift performed an astonishing 149 shows across 51 cities and five continents, a feat that kept her off most red carpets. Meanwhile, Kelce wrapped up another high-octane NFL season, including a Super Bowl run with the Chiefs. Now that both have a bit more breathing room, the couple has been spotted vacationing in Boca Raton, Florida, raising hopes that they may be prepping for a show-stopping appearance at fashion’s biggest night.
What to expect if they do show up
If Taylor and Travis make their Met Gala debut together, it would be a monumental pop culture moment. Whether they opt for coordinated couture or take a classic glam approach, the fashion and entertainment worlds will be watching. For now, no official confirmation has been made, but fans are keeping their eyes locked on May 5, when the Met steps transform into the world’s most-watched runway.
