Taylor Swift live updates: Why she and Travis Kelce weren’t at his dad’s longtime girlfriend’s funeral
The Kelce family faced a somber moment on Thursday, August 7, 2025, as they laid to rest Maureen Maguire, the longtime partner of Ed Kelce, father of NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce. While Jason and his wife, Kylie, stood by Ed’s side at the funeral in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, fans noticed the glaring absence of Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. The reason? Travis was tied up at the Kansas City Chiefs’ mandatory training camp in Missouri, a commitment that kept the power couple from joining the family in mourning. The emotional day has left fans buzzing, with many on X praising the Kelce family’s bond while sympathizing with Travis and Swift’s tough scheduling conflict.
Maureen Maguire, who passed away peacefully on August 1, 2025, at age 74, was celebrated in her obituary as a vibrant woman who found joy in life’s simple pleasures—beach days, dogs, and, later in life, a love for football sparked by her relationship with Ed. “She had a rare gift for making friends with strangers,” the obituary read, shared by Ed on Facebook, alongside cherished photos, including one of Maureen with Taylor Swift, both decked out in Chiefs gear. A source told People, “Maureen wasn’t just his partner, she was his person. They shared everything—games, concerts, travel, dogs, dinners with family.” The loss has left Ed reeling, with the source adding, “He’s feeling an enormous void.”
The funeral at St. John Vianney Catholic Church saw Ed as a pallbearer, joined by six others, while Jason and Kylie, who live nearby in the Philadelphia suburbs, attended to support him. Photos obtained by Page Six showed Jason in a blue shirt and black tie, and Kylie in a simple black dress, both somber as they honored Maureen. Travis, however, was spotted on the same day running drills at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri, for the Chiefs’ training camp, the team’s final practice before their preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals on August 9. With the NFL season kicking off September 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil, Travis’s absence was due to his rigorous schedule, not a lack of care.
