Travis Kelce reveals Thanksgiving plans as Taylor Swift remains in Brazil for holiday

Travis Kelce is keeping it simple this Turkey Day.

The Kansas City Chiefs player, 34, revealed his Thanksgiving plans during a conversation with his brother, Jason Kelce, on Wednesday’s episode of the “New Heights” podcast.

“I’ll be feasting on KFC because I won’t have anybody here,” the two-time Super Bowl champ explained, seemingly sad over the fact that girlfriend Taylor Swift won’t be joining him.

Jason, who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles, chimed in, saying, ”You won’t have anybody in there cooking turkey?”

He added, “If you want to make a quick trip you’re welcome at the house. We’ll have plenty of food.”

Travis’ comments allude to the fact Swift is likely staying in Brazil for the holiday while in the midst of her international Eras Tour.

Although the “Cruel Summer” singer, 33, was expected to fly home for the holidays — and attend Travis’ football game earlier in the week — she had to take the stage in Rio de Janeiro Monday after rescheduling her Saturday concert.

Her next block of shows will commence Friday in São Paulo, so it seems the Grammy winner is opting out of returning Stateside.

Eagle-eyed fans even noticed her private jet landed in São Paulo on Tuesday afternoon after departing the seaside city earlier that day.

An insider told Page Six that Swift would be making a last-minute decision about Thanksgiving after the tragic loss of fan Ana Clara Benevides at her Rio show last week.

“The Brazil concerts … she is devastated about a fan dying,” the source said, noting her father, Scott, was already in Brazil with her.

“The weather is extreme. It’s a mess she didn’t expect. It’s been a traumatic experience. It’s been a lot. She is going to decide today.”

The insider also noted that Swift has been overcome with grief following the 23-year-old fan’s death.

The heat index had reached a record-breaking 139 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Later that night, Swift — who personally handed out water to concertgoers while singing “All Too Well” — took to her Instagram Story to address the tragedy.

“I can’t believe I’m writing these words but it is with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show. I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by this,” she began.

“I’m not going to be able to speak about this from stage because I feel overwhelmed by grief when I even try to talk about it,” the “Bad Blood” hitmaker went on..

“I want to say now I feel this loss deeply and my broken heart goes out to her family and friends. This is the last thing I ever thought would happen when we decided to bring this tour to Brazil.”

She also gave a teary-eyed performance of “Bigger Than The Whole Sky,” which many interpreted as a tribute to the university student.
