Taylor Swift kept a low profile as Selena Gomez’s rumored bachelorette trip and Travis Kelce’s The Kingdom premiere unfolded this weekend. Swift avoided the public spotlight, while Gomez and Kelce both entertained their own moments in the media spotlight.
Gomez has long spoken about keeping her friendship with Swift private, noting that there’s much of their bond that isn’t shared publicly and that they don’t feel the need to post about everything they do together.
Meanwhile, Kelce celebrated the release of The Kingdom, a docuseries about his Kansas City Chiefs, with his parents by his side at the premiere. While Swift was not photographed at the event, those involved describe her as supportive of the project and mindful of her image, with the director saying Swift approved her likeness for the project.
Ed Kelce, Travis’s father, expressed pride on the red carpet, saying his son’s happiness comes from Swift and calling them two people who appear very much in love.
Swift has spent much of 2025 away from the cameras, a choice many interpret as a deliberate effort to shield her private life and focus on those close to her. Fans can expect a return to the spotlight later this fall with the release of her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, scheduled for October 3.
