Travis Kelce Shoots Jim Beam Bourbon at His Music Festival Without Girlfriend Taylor Swift

The Daily Mail reported on Sunday that Travis Kelce had a wild night on the town and was spotted doing a shot of Jim Beam from a slice of bread without his girlfriend, pop sensation Taylor Swift . A day later, The Sun reported on the same story, but declared the object from which the Kansas City Chiefs star shot bourbon from was a slice of ham. Regardless of what sort of slice the bourbon was consumed from, both outlets commented on Swift's absence. There's an easy explanation for that: She's busy working on one of the biggest tours of all time, the European leg of her Era's Tour. The New York Post reported that Swift alone is responsible for a 25% boost in United Airlines tickets to Lisbon Portugal. Swift wasn't able to party at Kelce Jam because she was busy performing on a tour that has grossed over $1 billion and was busy stimulating every single local economy the tour lands in. Oh, yeah. That. The Daily Mail shared that the 34-year-old tight end was downing shots of Beam from the bottle "in true southern fashion," while letting loose at his music festival — Kelce Jam. The outlet reported Kelce was letting loose "after leaving girlfriend Taylor Swift behind in Europe." Not exactly. Swift appears to be quite the busy woman herself, thankyouverymuch. the next stop for "Taylor Town" will be Liverpool. Swift and Kelce just spent the last few days in Lake Como, Italy, as Kelce went to support her while she was touring. Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are arguably the most talked-about couple to make media headlines. Though one can't help but imagine that dating with such exhaustive schedules would be challenging enough, the added round-the-clock media coverage certainly provides even more pressure. Kelce quashed breakup rumors that surfaced at the end of March after fans were worried that the couple wasn't spotted together for a lengthy period.

"A lot of false media being tossed out there," Kelce expressed, according to SheKnows. "But I'll tell you what wasn't false and it was when I landed in Australia and seen all the cameras. There were full-on helicopters just flying around. They helicoptered us! Well, not us, Taylor. This is all because Taylor is the biggest and best thing possible."

It appears both Swift and Kelce understand each other's massive careers, and try to spend as much time together as they can while respecting their individuality. As for Kelce's wild night on the town, the NFL star blew off steam after signing a two-year $34.25 million contract in April, which according to the Daily Mail made him the highest-grossing tight end in the NFL. Kelce spent time letting loose with rappers Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz in addition to Beam Master Distillers Fred Noe and his son, Freddie Noe, according to The Sun . The Sun reported that Kelce was taking shots of Jim Beam with a slice of ham as part of a "family tradition." The Noe family allegedly cures handfuls of ham and pairs the meat with their bourbon. Whether it's bread or ham remains a mystery, but the takeaway here is that both Swift and Kelce can spend time away from one another and should be able to without speculation on their relationship status.
