It’s been almost ten years since Taylor Swift last made a glamorous appearance at the Met Gala, and fans are crossing their fingers that 2025 might finally be the year she returns — this time possibly accompanied by her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. The iconic fashion event is set for Monday, May 5, and the buzz around a potential red carpet debut for the couple is growing louder by the day.
If she does attend, it would mark her seventh time walking the famous steps. Interestingly, despite her past relationships, Swift has never brought a date to the Met Gala. But with her and Kelce being more public and playful with their relationship, fans are hopeful he might just be the first.
Last year, rumors swirled that the two might show up together, but Swift ultimately skipped the event, reportedly to focus on intense rehearsals for her Eras Tour. According to People, she was in full prep mode, fine-tuning every detail for her massive global tour.
And what a tour it’s been. Between March 2023 and December 2024, Taylor Swift performed an incredible 149 shows in 51 cities across five continents, delivering powerhouse sets that ran over three hours each night. Meanwhile, Kelce was deep in the NFL grind, finishing a demanding season that included yet another Super Bowl appearance.
Now, with both of their schedules finally easing up, the couple has been spotted unwinding together in Boca Raton, Florida — and fans are speculating it could be a calm before the Met Gala storm.
There’s no confirmation yet about their attendance, but whether or not they end up on that red carpet, one thing is clear: Swifties and NFL fans alike are buzzing with excitement to see if one of pop culture’s most talked-about couples will make a show-stopping appearance together.
