Travis Kelce arrived for the second annual ‘Kelce Car Jam’ as the Chiefs star prepares to celebrate his birthday at the charity event in Kansas City.
Kelce, who turned 35 on Saturday, will host the annual car show once again to help raise money for children in the Kansas City and Cleveland areas.
It is unclear whether he will be joined on the night by his girlfriend Taylor Swift, who is currently enjoying a gap in her international Eras Tour schedule.
But the Kansas City tight end will at least celebrate with his brother Jason and parents Ed and Donna, who were seen shortly after arriving at the city’s airport on Saturday.
Early crowds show good participation at Kelce’s annual event, and many wanted to see the Chiefs star up close.

Jason Kelce arrived earlier Saturday for Kelce Car Jam in Kansas City on Travis’ birthday.
The brothers will kick off Saturday afternoon by hosting Kelce Car Jam, a showcase of muscle cars and stylish rides belonging to Kelce and his motorsports enthusiast friends.
In September, US Weekly reported that Swift was planning to attend the event, with the publication saying, “Swift will likely be there to celebrate her birthday on October 5 with family and friends at her Kelce Car Jam in Kansas City.”
Speaking on his podcast this week, Travis said he planned to show off the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle he drove the pop megastar around Kansas City last year after she went to her first Chiefs game.
“This year is the second year we’ve done a car show, basically a block party style event, that will showcase some of the best cars in town from the Fuel House, a fun car club here,” Kelce said.
‘And then I suppose there will be many others who are lined up. It will be fun. I should have my old ’70 Chevelle from school revved up and ready to rock. If not, I’ll take one of the other cars I have.

‘It’s always fun to be here in Kansas City. In Kansas City, they show up every time I do something grassroots related and I love them for that.”
Speculation about Taylor heading to Kansas City has 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 Bad Blood singer, who has gone to considerable lengths to conceal details of her flight and whereabouts since the foiled terrorist attack on her Vienna concert in August.
Swift 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 is no indication that his romance with Kelce is cooling.
She just doesn’t see much of her boyfriend when he plays away games and is expected to be limited this season primarily to attending the Chiefs’ home games at Arrowhead Stadium, potentially including Monday night’s clash against the Saints.
That deal means they can instead enjoy some quality quiet time in the sprawling $6 million home Kelce bought last year in an exclusive Kansas City suburb.
Kelce will not return to action with the Kansas City Chiefs until Monday night.

Located on the manicured grounds of a gated community and away from the public eye, it is the perfect retreat for the A-list couple to host discreet dates, dinners and movie nights.
Kelce and Swift ventured out undetected late last month when upscale Kansas City restaurant Noka reportedly closed to the public so they could enjoy an intimate gathering.
