Travis Kelce has left fans heartbroken after saying he doesn’t have any Thanksgiving plans, as Taylor Swift will be back in Brazil for her ‘Eras’ Tour.
The Chiefs tight end admitted to being all by himself for one of America’s most loved holidays of the year on his ‘New Heights’ podcast on Wednesday.
His older brother, Jason, kindly invited his younger sibling to come to Philadelphia to have some turkey with him, his wife, Kylie, and their three children.
Travis, however, will stay put, from what it seems like, as he eyes a Chiefs win against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday.
‘Travis alone during Thanksgiving, my Swiftie heart can’t bear it,’ commented a fan of the couple on social media.

Fans reacted to Travis’ lonely plans by sharing their sadness on social media on Wednesday
‘Someone in Kansas City has to invite Travis for Thanksgiving dinner-he cannot be alone!,’ said a worried, Chiefs fans.
‘Travis and Taylor need to have a Thanksgiving dinner together when she gets home Monday <3,' pointed out someone else, referring to Swift's return date to the U.S.
‘Trav’ is off…tough week and alone on Thanksgiving breaks my heart,’ shared a fan of the 34-year-old.
Travis will want to put in a better performance against the Raiders than he did vs. the Philadelphia Eagles, despite scoring a touchdown in the 31-27 loss at Arrowhead, as even he, himself, said his displays on the gridiron lately have been ‘p***ing’ him off.
The eight-time Pro Bowler was only on the receiving end of seven of nine targets in the Chiefs’ latest home game, for a mere 44 yards. Against the Miami Dolphins in the NFL matchup in Germany, he was only found open thrice for four targets for 14 yards.

That’s a far cry from his performances against the Los Angeles Chargers, a 31-17 win, and Denver Broncos, a 19-8 victory, last month. Against the former, he caught 12 of 13 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown, while vs. Denver, all that was missing was touchdown after completing nine of nine targets.
What’s more, is that Travis has hinted at talks of retiring in the near future, although that remains to be seen, as he’s admitted to feeling all 10 injuries he’s sustained in his 10-year NFL career.
Travis is a two-time Super Bowl champion with Kansas City, and is part of of the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team. He is considered as one of the greatest tight ends in football along with four-time Super Bowl champ’ Rob Gronkowski.
Both are considered future Pro Football Hall of Famers.
