She’s the biggest pop star in the world and not someone who’s used to being kept waiting.
But Taylor Swift had to stay on the runway for nearly an hour Tuesday night after Travis Kelce arrived late for his private flight.
DailyMail.com caught a glimpse of the world’s most attractive couple boarding a sleek Gulfstream jet bound for the East Coast. But the getaway didn’t go as planned, as Taylor and his father Scott boarded at 6:05 p.m., while the Chiefs tight end didn’t get into his Hummer until 7 p.m.
The nervous NFL star attempted to drive the massive electric vehicle onto the platform only to find the door locked. Finally, a member of Swift’s armed security team was able to transport him to the $61 million plane, and a red-faced Kelce ran up the stairs.
They took off just as his brother Jason was stopping at the same Kansas City-area airport to fly home to Philadelphia.
Travis Kelce’s delay kept Taylor Swift waiting runwayside as they left Kansas City on Tuesday.

But the Super Bowl winner made Swift wait almost an hour before boarding the plane.
Kelce and Swift are headed to the East Coast after leaving Missouri on Tuesday.
The Chiefs have a bye week, so Kelce will not return to practice until the team begins preparing for its Oct. 20 clash against the 49ers. He had spent the day entertaining Swift at his sprawling Kansas City mansion after she and Scott flew out 24 hours earlier to watch the Saints game.
They toasted the Week 5 victory with a typical display of PDA, with pictures posted on X of the pair enjoying a postgame kiss and hug in Swift’s VIP box.
The Bad Blood singer drew attention when she didn’t show up when Travis celebrated his 35th birthday on Saturday by hosting a car festival followed by a private dinner.
But her arrival at the game was widely anticipated after he let it slip that she was coming to town while chatting with VIP guests at his Kelce Car Jam event.
Travis was at least able to celebrate with his nearest and dearest, with the entire Kelce clan in attendance, including Donna, his father Ed, Jason and his wife Kylie. Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany also roared around in a $500,000 Ferrari 812 supercar, one of several expensive motors paraded at Saturday night’s block party.
Proceeds went to Kelce’s 87 & Running Foundation, which raises funds for children in need in Kansas City and Cleveland. The whole family then headed to downtown Kansas City for a private party at the elegant Aristocrat Lounge above the Midland Theatre.
Donna shared a funny exchange with DailyMail.com when we asked her what she bought Travis for his birthday. “I can’t tell you because I’ll give it to him after the game on Monday,” he chuckled, before getting into a limo to return to his hotel.
Taylor and her father Scott boarded the plane first, only to be made to wait by Kelce.
The singer and her father boarded the plane about an hour before Kelce arrived to join them.

Swift returned to the stands Monday night as she cheered Travis and the Chiefs to victory.
Speculation about Taylor heading to Kansas City had swirled all week with a rumor circulating about her renting out a popular steakhouse Wednesday night for a pre-birthday celebration. However, there have been no confirmed sightings of the singer, who has gone to great lengths to conceal details of her flight and whereabouts since the foiled terrorist attack on her Vienna concert in August.
Swift also wasn’t there to see the Chiefs beat the Los Angeles Chargers 17-10 last Sunday. But, according to a well-placed source, his absence wasn’t an indication that her romance with Kelce was cooling: Swift simply doesn’t see much of her boyfriend when he plays away from home.
Coming only to home games means they can enjoy quality quiet time in Kelce’s ultra-private home, which is surrounded by tall trees and bushes and can only be accessed through a 24-hour security gate.
Located on the manicured grounds of a gated community and away from the public eye, it’s the perfect retreat for discreet dates, dinners, and movie nights. Kelce and Swift ventured out undetected late last month when the posh Kansas City restaurant Noka was reportedly closed to the public so they could enjoy an intimate gathering.
According to Deux Moi, “The restaurant said it was closed for maintenance, but it’s the same restaurant where Britanny Mahomes had her birthday dinner not long ago.”
Swift returned to supporting the Chiefs after missing the last two road games and Kelce’s 35th birthday on Saturday, where he hosted a charity event in Kansas City.
That came on the heels of a bumpy period for Kelce and Swift, who recently celebrated one year since making their romance official with the anniversary of the singer’s first public appearance at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 24.
Just a couple of weeks earlier they had been forced to defend themselves against accusations that the entire relationship was a public relations sham following an alleged leak of documents purportedly belonging to Kelce’s public relations department.
Full Scope PR hired lawyers to “initiate proceedings against the persons or entities responsible for the unlawful and damaging falsification of documents,” which appeared to offer a comprehensive strategy for Swift and Kelce’s impending breakup, even giving the date of the alleged event as the September 18. .
Three days after the leak, they attended the US Open, where they attracted attention for their public displays of affection while singing “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” by The Darkness.
Meanwhile, on the field, Kelce has had a poor season so far, leading fans and experts to wonder if his numerous off-field activities are a distraction.
Kelce’s older brother, Jason, boarded his plane back to Philadelphia Tuesday night.
Jason had been covering his brother’s NFL game on Monday as part of his job with ESPN.
Former ESPN analyst Todd McShay is one of those who expressed his belief that the star is out of shape, having spent his offseason focused not on training, but on Swift.
McShay didn’t mince words recently on The Ryen Russillo Podcast. “Every show I watch, every pregame show, halftime show, postgame show, midweek show, every broadcast I’ve watched over the past few weeks, it’s like we’re not allowed to say he’s out of shape, he’s out of shape. ‘He’s been partying all offseason,’ he said.
“He’s been traveling with probably the most famous person in the whole world, he’s drinking, he’s going to the US Open… he takes a photo of the 2022 preseason and then he takes a photo of the 2024 preseason, they’re barely the same human being “. .’
