NFL player Travis Kelce made a big impression on people when he arrived at the prestigious Kentucky Derby in Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday, May 4. This, even though he was there alone, without Taylor Swift in tow.
Normally, the sight of the couple would have people talking and swooning. But Kelce proves "no Taylor Swift, no problem."
People magazine described Kelce as a picture of style perfection, dressed in a dark-colored tie, a sleek blue dress shirt, and a dazzling white pinstriped double-breasted suit.
Not to be overlooked is the hat with feather trim that gave his Derby ensemble a little pizzazz.
Travis Kelce Impresses Fans Alone
Despite the excitement of the races, Kelce's contagious energy took center stage.

Moreover, in a video that was posted to the official Instagram account of the Kentucky Derby, he was seen jumping and cheering with delight as the horses thundered down the track.
The text that appeared over the video said, "When you show up to the Kentucky Derby and your first bet hits," so it appears he had good reason to be thrilled. The post was also captioned with, "@killatrav off to a hot start at the Kentucky Derby."
Before the main equestrian event kicked off, Kelce was spotted rubbing shoulders with The Chainsmokers in what seemed to be a backstage enclave at the musicians' Kentucky Derby gig held at the Ice House on Friday, May 3rd.
Inside the venue, Kelce was captured on camera, effortlessly mingling and sharing laughs with fellow guests, adding his signature charm to the star-studded affair.
Swift Preparing for The Eras Tour Europe
Meanwhile, it's understandable why Swift is not around. Although it would have been nice to see them together, considering the fact that they will be going their separate ways soon as The Eras Tour Europe is just around the corner, the pop star still has to do a lot of preparations and time is quite limited.
According to Vanity Fair, Swift is already preparing for her next stop.
Time surely went by blazing fast, since it seems like it was just yesterday when Taylor Swift concluded her tour stop in Singapore.
Since then, Swift and beau Travis Kelce have been spotted enjoying various outings, from sushi dates to Coachella escapades, and even cozy weekends with Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid.
In the midst of these all, Swift even managed to drop her latest (double) album, shatter streaming records, and participate in a social media challenge that involved a memorable kiss with Kelce over the span of two eventful April days.
With all these whirlwind experiences, it may seem strange to shift gears and return to work. Nevertheless, that's precisely what Swift is doing on May 9 as her highly anticipated tour resumes with a four-night stint in Paris.
Fans need not be sad; the two are bound to be together quite soon. Kelce has hinted at joining her for part of the European leg, which extends across the continent and the UK until August.
