If Travis Kelce was planning on supporting Taylor Swift in Australia, he hasn't traveled down under yet.
The 14-time Grammy winner, who is currently on the Australian leg of her blockbuster Eras tour, performed three sold-out shows in Melbourne over the weekend to more than 288,000 people.
Meanwhile, the three-time Super Bowl champion went out to lunch with a pal in Kansas City, according to snaps obtained by the Chron.
In the photos, the 34-year-old NFL player grabbed a bite to eat at a local restaurant, Rye, before jumping into his Rolls Royce and rolling down the windows.
Kelce smiled and waved to fans on the street who noticed him, Chron reported, while wearing a camouflage tracksuit and chunky black sneakers during Saturday's outing.

The tight end paired the relaxed look with a black beanie and sported a longer beard than usual.
The trip comes a few days after he hinted at the possibility of a trip to Australia on his New Heights podcast.
In this week's episode, he cryptically told listeners that he would be “venturing out to an island very soon,” leading fans to theorize that he would be accompanying his girlfriend to her tour dates in Sydney next weekend before he began Traveled to Singapore in March.

Since her arrival on the other side of the world, Swift has made headlines for taking to the stage to discuss her upcoming album “The Tortured Poets Department” and performing several medleys of fan-favorite hits, including “Getaway Car,” “August” and “The Other Side of the Door.”
“Melbourne, what can I even say to you after over 288,000 of you came and danced with us over the last three nights??! That was unforgettable. You were on another level. Thank you for the memories. I rewatch this weekend's often 🥲🫶,” Swift captioned a series of Instagram snaps of her on stage at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday.
The 34-year-old “Cruel Summer” hitmaker also admitted she was “lonely” while writing her 2020 album Folklore, despite being in a relationship with her then long-term boyfriend Joe Alwyn.

“[I was] I imagine that I'm not a lonely millennial woman covered in cat hair drinking my weight in white wine, but a ghostly Victorian lady wandering through the forest with a candle in a candlestick and only a feathered feather on Parchment writes: “she was heard saying in a clip posted by a fan from her second show in Melbourne.

“That was in my head what I thought I would look like when I wrote 'Folklore,'” she continued.
“That's not what I looked like…So that's all that matters – the deception.”

She and Alwyn began dating in 2016 and were notoriously private throughout their six-year relationship.
“I think that by getting to know him and the relationship that I'm in right now, I've definitely made decisions that have made my life feel more like a real life and not just a story that in the tabloids,” she said of her interview with Paul McCartney for Rolling Stone in 2020.
“Whether it's deciding where to live, who to spend time with, or when not to take a photo, the idea of privacy feels so strange when you try to explain it, but it's really just about “To find a little bit of normality.”

After their split in early 2023, she briefly dated The 1975 rocker Matty Healy before starting dating Kelce over the summer.
The new couple went public with their romance in September and haven't been shy about flaunting their love in the months since.
Most recently, Swift supported her boyfriend throughout the NFL season and attended their 2024 Super Bowl win over the San Francisco 49ers earlier this month.
