After heavy speculation that Taylor Swift would make an appearance at Sunday’s Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, the pop sensation never arrived in south Florida.
Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce attended the high-profile motorsports event alongside Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany, who had been pictured enjoying themselves in the paddock on Saturday. The foursome were reportedly planning to enjoy a double date in Miami.
USWeekly reported Tuesday that Swift would be catching the event in Miami, a sign of the developing friendship between Swift and Brittany. However, Swift did not attend the race, while Kelce was in attendance.
“Brittany is thrilled to be building a genuine friendship with Taylor,” USWeekly reported in October 2023. “They’ve hung out a couple of times and have grown fairly close in a short period of time. Brittany thinks Taylor is so sweet and down to earth and they get along really great.”
After Swift and Kelce had managed to carve out a rare pocket of alone time with a private retreat to Bahamas and a subsequent trip to music festival Coachella, the two power couples were spotted together on Tuesday at Mahomes’ ’15 and Mahomies Foundation Golf Classic,’ — despite Kelce’s visible adoration at the event, a body language expert exclusively told The Mirror that the couple may be ‘out of sync.’
A loaded weekend for the two couples saw Kelce head to the iconic Kentucky Derby solo, sporting a stylish blue fedora and off-white sport coat, spending time with ex-NBA star Chandler Parsons and notable pop duo the Chainsmokers. Meanwhile, the Mahomes’ enjoyed a very handsy evening at luxury Miami restaurant Sexy Fish, with a source telling Page Six that “they were seen canoodling at the table, kissing and hugging.”

Kelce made another solo appearance at the Grand Prix Sunday, with Swift’s private plane landing in France on Saturday night, where the pop sensation is expected to remain as her Eras Tour resumes in Paris May 9. The Chiefs tight end remained in visibly high spirits, with him and Mahomes sharing an investment along with Ryan Reynolds, Rory McIlroy and other celebrity investors in the Alpine F1 Team.
but Swift has reportedly struggled with the prospect of being apart from Kelce. “It makes the prospect of her tour more challenging. She’ll be sad,” a source told USWeekly in late April. “They deepened their bond [during] all the time they’ve spent together recently. They support and respect [each other]. They have busy careers, so they understand those commitments, as difficult as it is.”
After a rare reprieve from a taxing tour schedule, Swift will head right back into top gear, performing 16 shows in a 30-day period starting May 9 and continuing at that exhausting pace until her August 20th show at Wembley Stadium in London. By that point, Kelce and Mahomes will have long since reported to Chiefs training camp, which begins July 23, as the two look to claim a third-straight Super Bowl trophy.
