Travis Kelce has touched down in Kentucky.

Alex Pall of the Chainsmokers posted a photo via his Instagram Stories of Kelce alongside former NBA star Chandler Parsons.

The electronic DJ, 38, also shared in a separate post that they were were on their way to Sports Illustrated’s Revel and the Races party.

It appears that Kelce’s superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was not in attendance.

There had been speculation recently about whether the famous couple would be watching the 150th annual horse race or enjoying the Miami Grand Prix in Florida this weekend.

Jimmy Kimmel recently compared Swift, also 34, to the Kentucky Derby as he marveled over her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” and its record-breaking success.

“I feel like Taylor Swift, at this point, if she wanted to, could win the Kentucky Derby,” the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host joked in his April 30 monologue.

While the pop star and Kelce have not attended the event in previous years, Swifties were “manifesting” a joint appearance on X.

“taylor and travis showing up to the kentucky derby would be a fever dream,” one social media user tweeted.

Another wrote that Swift just might as she is “in her sports era,” while another gushed that they would “love to see her in a fascinator.”

However, only Kelce was photographed looking dapper at the Kentucky Derby on Saturday.

The pro athlete was seen in social media snaps wearing a tan suit, a light blue dress shirt and navy blue fedora, as bodyguards and police escorted him through Churchill Downs in Louisville.

Most recently, Swift and Kelce spent a weekend acting “affectionate” at Patrick Mahomes’ charity event in Las Vegas, according to an eyewitness.
