Travis Kelce made it to the Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York on Thursday night, sitting beside Taylor Swift and their mothers right before she was inducted—after missing time earlier due to Kansas City Chiefs minicamp.
Travis Kelce made it by the skin of his teeth to the Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York City on Thursday night—just as Taylor Swift was about to be inducted.
He arrived at the Marriott Marquis Hotel and sat down next to Taylor at a table that also included Taylor’s mom. Andrea. and Travis’ mom. Donna. In video footage from the night. Travis adjusts himself in his chair next to Taylor. who has one arm around her body. Andrea then reaches over and takes Travis’ hand in hers, turning the moment into something quiet but unmistakably warm.
It was a tight timeline. During the week. Travis had been working out with his Kansas City Chiefs teammates at the team’s minicamp program in Kansas City. Because of that. he wasn’t at Taylor’s side during Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Knicks and the Spurs at Madison Square Garden. The couple is tying the knot on July 3.
Last night, though, Travis was right there when Taylor’s major honor finally landed. The 14-time Grammy winner was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame alongside Walter Afanasieff, Terry Britten, Graham Lyle, Alanis Morisette, Kenny Loggins, and KISS frontmen Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons.
Taylor also made history of her own: she’s the youngest woman ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, a record previously held by Stevie Wonder.
Even with the frantic stretch of schedule on Travis’ end, the end result was clear once he sat down—right beside Taylor and her family as she stepped into the spotlight.

Bro made it by the skin of his teeth lol
So he just showed up at the hotel right before she got inducted? That’s kinda wild. I thought he was like, somewhere else during the week but apparently he wasn’t. Love the hand moment or whatever.
Wait Kansas City Chiefs minicamp… but also Knicks vs Spurs? I’m confused like how is football practice connected to NBA Finals Game 4. Also “Songwriters Hall of Fame” sounds like a music thing not like awards for football players.
Taylor being the youngest woman inducted is actually crazy, I didn’t even know that place existed. And Travis missing time earlier due to minicamp sounds like he was literally late because of practice… but then he’s sitting next to her mom and holding hands?? That’s cute I guess. Also June 3 wedding? or July 3? I swear I saw different dates somewhere so who knows.
