Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift could be set to make their first red carpet appearance together at this year's Met Gala, following more than 18 months of dating.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and the 14-time Grammy winner have been notably present in each other's lives, with Swift attending 23 Chiefs games to support her boyfriend.
Kelce has shown his support at Swift's Eras Tour, even making an appearance on stage during one of her performances.
Most recently, Swift was present at Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans, where the Chiefs suffered a 40-22 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Despite their frequent public support of each other, the couple has yet to make a high-profile Hollywood appearance together.
Kelce notably missed Swift's recent 67th annual Grammy awards on February 2nd, drawing criticism from some fans.
The tight end's absence from the Grammys was due to Super Bowl preparations, marking the second consecutive year he's missed the awards show for the same reason.

According to the Mirror, the Met Gala in May could provide the perfect opportunity for their first red carpet debut, as Swift has no touring commitments planned for this year.
Amid speculation about the couple's potential Met Gala appearance, Kelce has recently revealed he's contemplating retirement following Sunday's Super Bowl defeat.
"I know everybody wants to know whether or not I'm playing next year. And right now, I'm just kicking everything down the road," Kelce said.

Kelce elaborated on the physical toll of his successful career, noting his extensive playing time in recent years.

"I've been fortunate over the past five-six years, I've played more football than anybody," he explained.
"That process can be gruelling. It can weigh on you. It can make you better and it can drive you crazy at the same time."
He admitted the pressure was "kind of driving me crazy this year" as he approaches the latter stages of his career.

The couple is reportedly planning to spend quality time together now that their schedules have aligned.
With Swift's touring schedule clear and the Met Gala not taking place until May, the pair could have their milestone red carpet moment.
The potential appearance would mark a significant 'relationship first' for the couple, who have struggled to coordinate their schedules for such events previously.
