LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Duties over pleasure! Taylor Swift has reportedly declined the invitation to the annual Met Gala 2024, and so did Travis Kelce.

According to a report published by TMZ, the billionaire songstress and her Kansas City Chiefs star boyfriend received “individual invitations” for the 2024 edition of the annual event, but both of them have reportedly “RSVP’d ‘no.'”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reportedly not attending the gala

Fans of the couple are understandably not happy with the revelation. 

While neither of the stars addressed the invitation nor shared the reason for their decline, fans are speculating that the close proximity of the Met Gala on May 6 and Swift's first 'Eras Tour' concert in Paris on May 9 may be the reason.

It's been noted that although Kelce doesn't have any significant commitments on his calendar during that time, he would likely prefer to support his girlfriend as the 14-time Grammy-winning star begins the Europe leg of her 'Eras Tour.'

The Super Bowl champion made it clear to Entertainment Tonight last month that he would be traveling to Europe to watch his superstar girlfriend perform again, emphasizing that the concerts in Paris and London are "can't-miss" events for him, per Page Six.

If the NFL star had attended the event, it would have marked his first time ascending the stairs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In contrast, Swift has attended the glitzy event six times.

She graced the Met stairs again in 2010, 2011, 2013, and 2014, then returned in 2016 when she served as a co-chair alongside Jonathan Ive, Idris Elba, and Anna Wintour.

Nonetheless, fans of the NFL star and Swift, who is enjoying the success of her latest album 'The Tortured Poets Department,' were eagerly awaiting the much-loved couple to attend a black-tie affair together for the first time.

Fans are sad as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will not be attending the Met Gala

While fans may be disappointed by their idol's absence from this year's Met Gala, they understand her reasons. They also show their support for the songstress, acknowledging that the dates of her Paris leg of the 'Eras Tour' coincide too closely with the Met Gala.

One of the fans said, "It's a big to-do so close to the European leg. They'd literally have to leave from there to Paris for soundcheck, etc."



 

Someone else mourned, "That's so sad😢."



 

Another social media user chimed in, "Travis is grifting so hard of Taylor."



 

A fan declared, "Without them, little interest 🤷‍♀️🎶."



 

"Whyyy nooooot 🥺🥺🥺🥺," mourned a fan of the couple. [sic]



 

Someone else said in an understanding manner, "I don’t blame them too close to her tour date."



 

"It's surprising to hear that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce won't be gracing the Met Gala's red carpet this year," said a fan.
