Travis Kelce seems to be in no rush to hop on a plane to see his girlfriend Taylor Swift in Australia – choosing to spend time with his friends closer to home.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, joked around with a friend as they spent four hours on Sunday playing virtual rounds of golf in Parkville, Missouri, around 30 miles from his home in Kansas.

The keen golfer kept his head down as he and former Chief tight end Ross Travis carried their clubs to indoor golf course, X-Golf – where they were later seen leaving with takeaway boxes, exclusive DailyMail.com pictures show.

Kelce got behind the wheel of his electric Hummer and packed their equipment, balls, and other items into the back of the souped-up pickup truck after the session, which would have cost him $500 for the four-hour stint.

Kelce’s friend, Travis, 31, played alongside him in Kansas City from 2015 until he was waived in 2017. He also played briefly for the Indianapolis Colts. They are regularly seen hanging together.

It appears Kelce has been eager to stay close to home after the backlash over his ‘partying’ in the wake of the mass shooting that broke out last week at the Chiefs’ victory parade which saw more than 30 injured and one killed.

The NFL star had returned triumphant to Kansas City following their Super Bowl LVII win, before the tragedy unfolded.

Swift, 34, meanwhile, is currently on the Australian leg of her Eras Tour, leaving fans to speculate if Kelce will rush to support her in Melbourne after their romance dominated NFL coverage this season.

He had previously teased fans of his New Heights podcast, which aired on Wednesday, that he could be soon heading down under to see Swift.

Kelce added that next week’s podcast is a ‘guest’ episode which he is not featured in, which led fans to believe he could join his girlfriend in Sydney from February 23 – and maybe travel with her to Singapore for her shows in the first week of March.
