Travis Kelce arrives for Kentucky Derby without Taylor Swift as dapper Chiefs star rocks white suit and black top hat… before celebrating a big win!
Travis Kelce is in the house for Saturday night’s Kentucky Derby, but there’s no sign of girlfriend Taylor Swift.
Kelce, who attended a pre-Derby performance in Louisville on Friday night with ex-NBA star Chandler Parsons, rocked up at Churchill Downs for the big race on Saturday looking dapper in a stylish white suit, black tie and matching top hat.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end arrived in plenty of time for the Derby, which will kick off around 6:57 PM ET.
He appeared at the track solo and without Swift, who did not appear in Kentucky this weekend.
And not long after appearing, Kelce appeared to have placed one of his first bets of the day on Churchill Downs.

Footage shared on the Kentucky Derby’s official Instagram account shows the 34-year-old jumping up and down and celebrating after bagging an early windfall.
The video included the captions: “When you show up to the Kentucky Derby and your first bet falls” and “@killatrav off to a hot start at the Kentucky Derby.”
Kelce celebrated his winning bet in an owners suite at Club Sports Illustrated at Churchill Downs, having also attended SI’s pre-Derby party the night before.
Nevertheless, Travis wasn’t the only NFL-related figure in attendance, as Miami Dolphins star Braxton Berrios’ girlfriend Alix Earle was also in Louisville for the Derby.
On Friday night, Kelce was seen hanging out with The Chainsmokers and retired NBA player Parsons at Sports Illustrated’s Revel at the Races concert.
Chainsmokers duo Alex Pall and Andrew Taggart performed at the Ice House venue as part of the gig, which took place on the eve of the Kentucky Derby.
After watching the show with close friend Parsons, Kelce appeared on Pall’s Instagram Story standing back-to-back with the former Houston Rockets player as he smoldered in the distance.
He also partied with Pall and Taggart after winning his third Super Bowl in February, when the Grammy-winning artists performed Swift’s “You Belong With Me” song while playing at the team’s after-party in Las Vegas.
In a video that quickly went viral, Kelce jumped on stage after hearing them play his girlfriend’s song, before singing along and pumping his fists in the air.

He also changed the lyrics of the song to ‘are you in love with me?’ before Swift later told Taggart that the adaptation was “the most romantic thing that ever happened to me.”
After Chainsmokers’ Kentucky Derby performance, Kelce is expected to head to Miami with Swift for Sunday’s Grand Prix in Florida.
The couple are also expected to be joined by Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany, a week after the quartet went on a double date in Vegas.
Kelce, Swift and the Mahomes continued their night out in Sin City by heading to Chiefs quarterback Patrick’s fundraising event last Saturday, while the two Kansas City teammates took part in a charity golf day the next morning.
The likes of Tom Brady, Kendall Jenner and Ed Sheeran will also be in Miami this weekend as F1 drivers prepare to do battle in front of a star-studded crowd.
