Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are the new darlings of the town and their much-publicized relationship is pushing the boundaries of dating standards. Swifties are on cloud nine to see their cherished icon openly and proudly in love with the NFL champ. Meanwhile, Travis Kelce went from being a fan with a friendship bracelet to grinning in delight at Swift’s tweaking of the lyrics of ‘Karma’ to refer to him. Following the thrilling Eras Tour and soccer matches, the couple took a breather in Kelce’s luxurious $6 million mansion in Kansas City.

Their getaway, however, could not last for too long. A week into her romantic escape, Swift had to cut it short and head back to New York City after receiving a nod for a prestigious award.

Why did Taylor Swift cut short her week-long stay in Kansas City with Travis Kelce?

Taylor Swift was recently seen in New York City wearing a checkered overcoat, channeling the aesthetic vibes of her ‘Red’ and ‘Evermore’ album eras. On Tuesday, Daily Mail spotted the pop star boarding her private jet under the cover of umbrellas following her nomination for the TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year. Reportedly, Swift returned to the Big Apple to attend the event, the awards for which are slated to be announced on Wednesday.

Taylor Swift is currently on a two-month break from her Eras Tour, which led the couple to shack up in the Midwest for a few weeks. Speculations also suggested that Swift would be celebrating her 34th birthday with her boyfriend in Kansas City. However, her sudden return to NYC led to uncertainty about whether she will stick to those plans. Luckily, Swift knows how to jet between continents within 24 hours of events, as she did just recently for Beyoncé. 

Taylor Swift flew straight from Kansas City to London and back in 24 hours to appear at Beyonce’s Renaissance movie premiere and be with her beau as well. But it was a picture of Blake Lively posing with Swift that became the topic of chatter among fans. 

Blake Lively and Taylor Swift’s viral picture from Renaissance premiere

Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé recently had its premiere event, which had many A-listers in attendance, including Taylor Swift and Blake Lively. Following the event, Swift shared an Instagram carousel offering glimpses of the starry event. One of the pictures featured Blake Lively, sidled up next to Swift. Both the stars looked incredibly glamorous in the shot. As soon as the picture surfaced on the web, fans started demanding Ryan Reynolds and Travis Kelce to recreate the picture of their better halves. 

In response, Reynolds shared a hilarious edited version of Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s photo on his Instagram story. In the picture, created by Instagram user @karthiknjartist, Swift and Lively’s faces were photoshopped with that of Kelce and Ryan Reynolds. After stirring up all these shenanigans at the Renaissance event, Swift flew back to Kelce immediately. And there is a chance that she will pull off the same after the Times event.
