As the 97th Academy Awards approach on Sunday, March 2nd, rumors are swirling about whether Taylor Swift and her partner, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, will be making a splash at Hollywood’s biggest night. While Swift is not scheduled to perform or present at the ceremony, her mere presence would undoubtedly be one of the most talked-about moments of the evening. The possibility of the couple walking the red carpet together has fans buzzing with excitement.
Though it’s not yet confirmed whether Swift and Kelce will attend, the speculation is certainly turning heads. Swift, a seasoned guest at major awards shows including the 2024 Golden Globes, is no stranger to the spotlight. However, this year, she will be attending purely as a guest. Despite her Eras Tour concert film being a massive box office hit, it is ineligible for Oscar consideration due to Academy rules that prevent marketing-based concert films from being nominated. While this may be disappointing for Swift and her fans, her influence in the entertainment world remains undeniable. Her presence at the Oscars will no doubt draw significant attention, regardless of her eligibility for nominations.
The 97th Academy Awards will feature a star-studded lineup of hosts, including two of Swift’s closest friends, Emma Stone and Selena Gomez. Stone, who won Best Actress last year for her role in Poor Things, will return to the stage, while Gomez will also make her mark as a host. With both of these powerhouse women set to take the stage, many are wondering if Swift will be there to cheer them on. Fans are already speculating about the possibility of Swift showing up to support her friends—and of course, to see the awards unfold.
Adding to the intrigue, Swift’s ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, has been named as one of the hosts for the evening. This addition only fuels fans’ curiosity, as it’s expected to bring up conversations surrounding Swift’s past relationships and her current romance with Kelce.
Perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of Swift’s potential attendance is the possibility that she and Travis Kelce will make their red carpet debut as a couple. While the pair have been spotted together at numerous events, including NFL games and Swift’s Eras Tour concerts, they have yet to publicly walk the red carpet together. Their appearance at the Oscars would be a groundbreaking moment, blending the worlds of music, sports, and film in a way only Swift and Kelce can. Fans eagerly await the possibility of the duo making their first official appearance as a couple at one of the most glamorous events of the year.
Whether or not Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce step onto the red carpet together, one thing is for sure: their potential appearance will be a highlight at the 97th Academy Awards. With friends in the spotlight, industry buzz, and fans’ eyes eagerly watching, this year’s Oscars will surely be an unforgettable evening.
