Music icon Taylor Swift is poised to light up the Golden Globes this Sunday. However, her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, said he will join her on this glamorous night, but he might be late to the event
Kelce, a key player for the Kansas City Chiefs, will be on the field against the LA Chargers at SoFi Stadium, with CBS broadcasting the game right before the Golden Globes ceremony. Insiders indicate Kelce’s focus is firmly on the upcoming NFL playoffs, ruling out any red carpet appearances or after-parties. Post-game, Kelce is expected to return to Kansas City with his team.
Swift is nominated for her Eras tour film
Taylor Swift, a globally celebrated artist, might clinch her first Golden Globe, being nominated in the brand-new category of Cinematic and Box Office Achievement for her sensational “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.” Despite four prior nominations in the Best Original Song category, a Globe has eluded the 34-year-old singer so far.
Her “Eras” film, a box office phenomenon, garnered over $250 million, vastly surpassing its $15 million budget. It’s now closing in on the record for the most successful concert film ever, vying to outdo Michael Jackson’s 2009 hit “This Is It.”
2023 saw Swift absent from the Globes, but this year, the event expects a full turnout of A-list celebrities. The industry is bouncing back after strikes halted Hollywood activities for months. Swift’s last appearance at the Globes dates back to 2020, nominated for “Beautiful Ghosts” from “Cats.” Though she arrived without then-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, they reunited during the event.
In 2024, Swift faces stiff competition from blockbusters like “Barbie,” “Oppenheimer,” “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” “John Wick: Chapter 4,” “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1,” “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” and “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.”
The Golden Globes, now airing on CBS following NBC’s drop amidst controversy over the lack of diversity in The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, promises a night of renewed recognition.
As for the Chiefs, Coach Andy Reid has been tight-lipped about whether Kelce will play, following statements about resting key players, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
