They could…

Could Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce go to the Met Gala together? Yes! He doesn’t have to report to NFL training camp until July, and the gala is on May 6, three days before Swift resumes the Eras Tour in Paris.

But are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attending the Met Gala? The answer there is…maybe? As a rule, Swift does not walk red carpets with her boyfriends, and the Met Gala is also sort of a loaded event in the Swift-verse. It’s where she met and danced with Tom Hiddleston, on the same night she met Joe Alwyn, whom she would date right after Hiddleston, and for many years. To put Kelce into the mix might be too much…or a way to wipe the slate clean? He does like clothes.

This year’s dress code is “The Garden of Time,” which can be interpreted in many ways, though we suspect plenty of attendees will take the “garden” part literally with some botanical elements. Swift has attended six Met Galas, looking pretty and polished in a floor-length gown at each, save for the 2016 event, to which she wore a metallic Louis Vuitton minidress and dark lipstick. That’s where she met the aforementioned boys. It’s also the last gala she attended.

If she attends, even solo, it would be a nice way for the billionaire to cap off the promotional run for her 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department, before she goes back on tour. And she’d have her pick of designers to partner with, not having any fashion contracts in place. Personally, fingers crossed that she would go with Gucci, the brand she wore to the Golden Globes. Oh my God, she looked so good in that green dress!

But given that, in the eight years since Swift last showed up, the Kardashians have all but taken over the steps, it might not be high on her to-do list. Friends modeling for Skims is one thing, but actually running into Kim is another.
