Travis Kelce spends 34th birthday hanging out in his car with friends — not Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce didn’t spend his birthday solo — but he wasn’t with Taylor Swift either.

Instead, the NFL player celebrated turning 34 on Thursday with a few friends.

Kelce hung out in a stadium parking lot in Kansas City, Mo., with a group of pals, according to photos obtained by Page Six exclusively.

Dressed in a gray T-shirt, red shorts and white Nike sneakers, the athlete arrived in his black SUV at lunchtime and was joined by three other cars, whose occupants got out to spend an hour inside of his vehicle.

Kelce subsequently returned to the site’s training facility.

Earlier that same day, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was photographed at a convenience store, where he purchased Dutch Masters cigars.

He cut a casual figure in a purple hoodie, matching sneakers and gray sweats at the shop.

While fans speculated that Swift, 33, would link up with Kelce for his birthday amid their budding romance — especially after she jetted out of New York City Wednesday — the Grammy winner did not make an appearance in Missouri.

Swift, who is on a brief break from her Eras Tour, has supported Kelce at two back-to-back NFL games in recent weeks.

The pair are “completely smitten” and “talk every day,” Us Weekly reported Tuesday.

“Taylor’s really enjoying getting to know Travis,” a source told the magazine. “She has high hopes. … If something feels right — like it does with Travis — she’s jumping in with both feet.

“She’s very happy and loving life right now,” the insider continued.

Although the “Cruel Summer” singer has not spoken publicly about her connection with Kelce, he has gushed over her in Instagram comments and “New Heights” podcast episodes.

However, the “Catching Kelce” alum told his brother Jason Kelce on Sept. 27 that he plans to keep quiet about their bond “moving forward.”

“I want to respect both of our lives. She’s not in the media as much as I am,” Travis explained last month. “I think me talking about sports … will kind of have to be where I keep it.”

That being said, his mother, Donna Kelce, spoke about Swift on Friday with appearances on both the “Got It From My Momma” podcast and the “Today” show.

She shared her favorite song of the performers on the former, using “Shake It Off” as a message to all the “haters.”

While speaking with Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie later that same day, she stayed mostly mum about the “new” romance.

It was OK,” the 70-year-old said of meeting the songwriter. “I don’t like to talk about it. It’s just one of those things where everyone saw me. I was in the boxes with her. It’s another thing that’s amped up my life.”
