**Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Shunned the Golden Globes 2026: A Missed Opportunity for New Heights**
Fans and the media had been eagerly anticipating a glimpse of the high-profile celebrity couple, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, at the Golden Globes 2026 awards on January 11. However, the couple chose to skip the event, leaving everyone disappointed.
**A Missed Opportunity for New Heights**
The absence of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at the Golden Globes was notable not only for their absence as attendees but also because their popular podcast, **New Heights**, was not nominated in the Best Podcast category. The Kelce brothers, Jason and Travis, host this popular show where they discuss sports and pop culture. With weekly episodes dropping every Wednesday, it’s one of the most popular podcasts globally. Unfortunately, it failed to secure a nomination in the “Best Podcast” category, surprising many fans who consider it one of the most-watched podcasts.
Their episode featuring Swift even set a Guinness World Record by achieving 1.3 billion concurrent YouTube views during her appearance—the highest-ever figure for a podcast livestream by any artist. However, despite this impressive achievement, the podcast missed out on a nomination.
**Swift’s Rumored Presence in Los Angeles**
Taylor Swift sparked rumors that she was stationed in Los Angeles over the weekend. The paparazzi photographed multiple stars leaving the Birds Street Club on Friday night, carrying loaves of sourdough bread with pun-filled, witty messages that appeared to be in Swift’s handwriting. This hinted at her possible involvement in the event or even a surprise appearance.
**Swift’s Past Golden Globes Nominations**
In the past, Swift has received four Golden Globe nominations for “Best Original Song – Motion Picture.” However, she hasn’t written any music for a film soundtrack in 2025, which led to her missing out on any nominations this year. Nevertheless, fans were hoping to see Swift supporting her fiancé Kelce if New Heights had earned a nomination in the “Best Podcast” category, but that didn’t happen.
**Planning Their Next Chapter: The Wedding**
It appears that Swift has been channeling her energies into planning her upcoming wedding with Kelce. A source revealed to US Weekly that she’s been “so quiet about the planning” and is “starting to think about” her wedding dress and possible venues. Both Swift and Kelce are reportedly excited about their next chapter together.
