Pop sensation Taylor Swift celebrated her 34th birthday in New York City, but noticeably absent was her boyfriend,

Travis Kelce, who had to skip the festivities due to prior football commitments.

Despite fans’ anticipation of a grand celebration and even rumors of a potential proposal,

an insider revealed that the Kansas City Chiefs player stayed back in Missouri for mandatory practice.

The absence of the NFL star at Taylor’s birthday bash sparked speculation and flooded social media with questions about their relationship. The couple, who officially confirmed their romance in September, has been in the spotlight ever since.

While Travis Kelce couldn’t make it to NYC for the birthday celebration, the couple found time to celebrate a few days ahead. Photographs surfaced of them sharing a passionate kiss at a postgame holiday gathering in Kansas City on Sunday night.

To make up for his absence on her special day, Taylor Swift received an abundance of birthday blooms at her upscale New York City apartment. The singer was showered with bouquets of white roses, lilies, scarlet peonies, and other floral arrangements. The sender of this extravagant floral display remains a mystery, with fans speculating that Travis Kelce might be the romantic behind the gesture.

Swift took to Instagram to celebrate her birthday and promote the release of her “Fearless” tour concert film on streaming services. The singer, known for her playful social media presence, shared a post captioned, “I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you. Celebrate 34 with me by watching the Fearless tour extended version!”

Despite not being physically present on her birthday, Kelce’s absence was seemingly compensated by the plethora of flowers delivered to Swift’s doorstep. The romantic gesture left fans speculating and buzzing about the identity of the mystery sender.

Meanwhile, Selena Gomez, Taylor’s close friend, posted a heartfelt birthday tribute on Instagram. The duo had celebrated Taylor’s birthday early with a dinner on December 12th, and Gomez shared a sweet mirror picture of them, expressing her love for the birthday girl.

While Travis Kelce missed the NYC celebration, it’s clear that Taylor Swift was surrounded by love, flowers, and the warmth of her friendships on her 34th birthday. The power couple’s ability to celebrate in advance and the mysterious floral surprise added an unexpected twist to Taylor’s special day.
