Will Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Attend the 2024 Met Gala? A Source Reveals the Couple’s Plans

After supporting one another by attending primetime football games or sold out arena concerts—and showing some serious PDA at this year's Coachella music festival—diehard Swifties and NFL fans alike want to know if Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will be attending the 2024 Met Gala.

After all, the (arguably) most famous couple on the planet has yet to make their highly anticipated red carpet debut.

Turns out, fans will probably have to wait a little longer to watch the famous pair have their all-cameras-on-us red carpet moment, according to sources familiar with their future plans.

“Taylor and Travis are not going to the Met Gala. They passed,” a source told Us Weekly. They might go as it gets closer, but for now, they are not going.”

Some outlets are reporting, including Page Six, claim The Tortured Poets Department singer will be in attendance possibly with or without her beau.

"With this year’s Met Gala just a week away, Page Six has exclusively learned that Taylor Swift will walk the red carpet on fashion’s biggest night,” reporter Mara Siegler wrote, adding that a "source tells us that Swift will indeed be attending the lavish event."

However, People recently confirmed Us Weekly's original reporting that Swift will be sitting this year's Met Gala out.

Instead of attending fashion's biggest night, the outlet reports, Swift will be "focusing on rehearsals and tour prep" before she starts up her history-making "Eras Tour" in Paris on May 9. She will then be busy traveling for most of the spring and summer for the European leg of the tour.

While she is known to make waves for what she wears almost as often as what she sings or who she dates, Swift hasn't attended what is often considered to be fashion's biggest night of the year since 2016, when she served as a co-chair for the event.

According to Us Weekly, Swift met her ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, while attending the 2016 Met Gala. Her current boyfriend, Kelce, has never attended the Met Gala. (We have a feeling that will change in the near-to-immediate future.)

For the uninitiated, this year's Met Gala theme is "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," and will include a display featuring 250 garments and accessories spanning over four centuries, including archival items by Schiaparelli, Dior, Givenchy, and Saint Laurent.

In a press statement, Andrew Bolton—Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute—said that the exhibit aims to "reconnect with the works on display as they were originally intended—with vibrancy, with dynamism, and ultimately with life." The exhibit opens to the public on May 10 and will remain open until September 2, 2024.

Some of the already confirmed A-list celebrities who will be in attendance include Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, and Zendaya.

As Us Weekly originally reported that Swift and Kelce are most likely not going to attend due to a conflict in their notoriously busy schedules—the Met Gala takes place at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan on Monday, May 6, just three days before Swift is scheduled to take the "Eras Tour" stage in Paris, France on May 9.

This report was, as previously mentioned, confirmed by People.

While Kelce won't likely have to report to training camp for the upcoming 2024-2025 NFL season until sometime in June, he is forever the busy bee. As he told his brother and podcast co-host Jason Kelce in a recent episode of the pair's podcast New Heights With Jason and Travis Kelce: "Obviously the schedule is always filled the f*** up on the off-season."

Who knows, maybe both of their schedules will open up?! One can only hope!
