In a twist that’s sparking buzz across social media, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is reportedly set to attend the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival — not with pop icon Taylor Swift, but alongside reality TV mogul Kim Kardashian.

The unexpected pairing comes just as fans are reeling from the news that Swift has once again been left off the Coachella lineup.

Sources close to the festival say Kelce and Kardashian have planned to attend the festival’s opening weekend together, sparking speculation about a budding friendship — or more.

The duo has reportedly been seen at several recent industry events, with some insiders describing their connection as “unexpectedly close.”

This surprising development comes on the heels of a long-running fan campaign pushing for Swift to headline Coachella, a dream that has yet to come true.

Despite her record-breaking Eras Tour and multiple Grammy wins, the festival lineup dropped last week with no mention of the global superstar, leaving Swifties disappointed once again.

Some are calling it a “major snub,” particularly as lesser-known pop acts took high-profile slots many hoped were reserved for her.

Adding fuel to the fire is Kelce’s change in company. Last year, he and Swift were the talk of Coachella after they were spotted dancing together during Jack Antonoff’s Bleachers set.

Their playful energy lit up the desert and made headlines for days. Fast forward to 2025, and things seem to have cooled — at least publicly — between the NFL star and the pop sensation.

Kim Kardashian, meanwhile, has made Coachella appearances in the past, but her attendance this year with Kelce raises eyebrows. Is this simply two celebrities sharing the VIP section, or is there something more behind their desert rendezvous?

As speculation grows, neither Kelce, Kardashian, nor Swift has commented publicly. For now, fans can only watch and wonder as one of music’s biggest weekends unfolds with unexpected plot twists and star-studded surprises.

Stay tuned — this Coachella might be more dramatic than the lineup itself.
