Busy schedules and prior commitments may have kept the power couple away from the intimate family gathering.

High-Profile Couple Misses Emotional Family Event

August 8, 2025: Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce were noticeably absent from the funeral of the longtime girlfriend of Ed Kelce, Travis’s father. The private service, held earlier this week, brought together close family and friends to honor her life, but the high-profile couple’s absence raised eyebrows among fans and media.

Reason for Their Absence Remains Unconfirmed

While neither Swift nor Kelce has commented publicly on why they didn’t attend, sources close to the family suggest that scheduling conflicts and prior commitments may have played a role. The pair has been in the spotlight for much of the summer, with Swift continuing her sold-out Eras Tour and Kelce engaged in preseason training for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Ed Kelce Seen Surrounded by Support

Ed Kelce was reportedly supported by other family members during the service. Those present described the atmosphere as intimate and emotional, with heartfelt speeches and cherished memories shared.

Swift and Kelce’s Relationship Still Going Strong

Despite missing the funeral, Swift and Kelce’s relationship appears to remain steady. The couple has been spotted together frequently in recent months, balancing public appearances with their busy professional schedules.
