Swift, Kelce Skip 2025 Met Gala for Privacy

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were invited to the 2025 Met Gala but chose to skip the event to enjoy private time together during the NFL offseason and after Swift's tour, rather than due to controversy or negative publicity. Sources indicated the couple is focusing on their relationship away from the spotlight. Swift, who has not attended the Met Gala since 2016, continued her tradition of skipping the event, while Kelce has never attended. Other notable absentees included Timothée Chalamet and Justin Bieber, who both opted to watch sports playoff games instead. The gala saw several last-minute celebrity cancellations, leading to social media users calling the event 'boring' and 'underwhelming.' Despite fan disappointment, Swift and Kelce appear content prioritizing personal downtime over public appearances.
