Breaking: Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes wow crowd at Kansas City charity event… but Taylor Swift is nowhere to be seen after major announcement

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes wowed the Kansas City crowd as two of the big names involved in Big Slick, an annual charity event that raises money for Children’s Mercy, a local pediatric hospital.

The Chiefs duo appeared at the ‘Big Slick Show’ – the final event of the weekend – at T-Mobile Center alongside several celebrities with local ties Saturday evening.

 

However, Taylor Swift did not join her NFL beau Kelce in Missouri with the fundraiser taking place just one day after she announced that she bought back the rights to her first six albums.

Yet, one huge non-Kansas-City-affiliated personality did arrive at the show. Jason Kelce strolled onto the stage to the song ‘Bad to the Bone’ by George Thorogood & The Destroyers.

Mahomes and Travis had made their entrance together just before the Philadelphia Eagles legend with plenty of big names waiting for them onstage.

The Kansas City celebrities most notably included Jason Sudeikis, Paul Rudd, and David Koechner.

Also on stage were Eric Stonestreet, Rob Riggle, and Heidi Gardner, who rounded out the six celebrities with local ties on the advertisements for each Big Slick event throughout the weekend.

The Kelce brothers and Mahomes were on stage to entertain the crowd, as there is no sports team more popular in Western Missouri than the Chiefs.

The extravaganza kicked off on Thursday night with a ‘Just Us’ event, which was a cocktail party with the six celebrities.

Friday saw a celebrity softball game, with plenty of suite tickets available, with the Kansas City Royals playing the Detroit Tigers at Kauffman Stadium directly following the diamond festivities.

The Big Slick’s showpiece event on Saturday night featured the Kelce brothers and Mahomes, where the total raised for Children’s Mercy will be announced.

Since the start of Big Slick in 2010, the event has raised more $24million for Kansas City area pediatric health.

Special guests to this year’s Big Slick include Curt Menefee, all three stars of TBS’ Impractical Jokers, Kansas City native Tom Pestock, who is best known for his time in WWE as Baron Corbin, Will Forte, Johnny Knoxville, and more.

With a letter to her supporters on her website on Friday, Swift announced that she had bought back control of her first six albums, which had most previously been owned by hedge fund Shamrock Capital.

Swift teased the news on her Instagram by posing alongside all six album covers.

She captioned the post ‘You belong with me,’ a reference to one of her hit songs, before writing: ‘Letter on my site :).’

Eagle-eyed fans spotted that Kelce liked the post on Instagram, while his friend and teammate, Patrick Mahomes, even re-posted the news on X.

Patrick’s wife, Brittany, also re-posted Swift’s announcement to her Instagram story, writing: ‘Just so amazing.’

Since the pair started dating in the summer of 2023, Kelce has been an avid supporter of Swift’s music, following her on her Eras Tour last summer and even making an onstage cameo at Wembley Stadium.

For her part Swift said of the development: ‘To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it.

‘To my fans, you know how important this has been to me — so much so that I meticulously re-recorded and released four of my albums, calling them Taylor’s Version.

‘The passionate support you showed those albums and the success story you turned The Eras Tour into is why I was able to buy back my music. I can’t thank you enough for helping to reunite me with this art that I have dedicated my life to, but have never owned until now.’
