'A poetic ending': Swifties react as Travis Kelce plays SFL while Taylor Swift wraps up Eras Tour
Taylor Swift's final Eras Tour concert in Vancouver, Canada saw a number of Swifties from across the world joining forces for the one last time to celebrate the groundbreaking tour. However, one notable absentee from the historic event was Travis Kelce, thanks to his NFL duties.
Taylor Swift's biggest cheerleader, her beau Travis Kelce, couldn't make it to her final Eras Tour show on Sunday (December 8). The Kansas City Chiefs tight end had a scheduling conflict - his team was playing the Los Angeles Chargers at the same time as Swift's sold-out concert in Vancouver, Canada. Travis, who has been right there, front row, cheering for his pop star girlfriend since last summer, also made his Eras Tour debut in June at Swift's London concert. His absence from the final show has sparked emotionally charged responses from Swift's fans, Swifties.
Travis Kelce skips the Eras Tour finale show
Travis Kelce had to skip the final Eras Tour show in Vancouver on December 8. The NFL champion has been a regular at Swift's shows since they began dating last year but was absent from the showdown as the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Los Angeles Chargers during the Sunday Night Football (SNF) game at Arrowhead Stadium.
Some fans might view Kelce's absence from Swift's concert as a snub, especially since she flew continents to attend his Super Bowl game in February. However, a closer look at their conflicting schedules makes one thing clear - even if he wanted to, he couldn't.

Taylor Swift fans, who have gotten used to watching Travis blush every time Swift went Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, were visibly upset at his absence from the historic night.
Some Swifties also took to X to comment about Kelce's notable Eras Tour skip due to his football game, drawing parallels to 2006 movie High School Musical starring Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron.
"Travis Kelce playing SNF as Taylor Swift plays her final Eras Tour show, a poetic ending to the HSM parallels," one user wrote.
