Travis Kelce's plans for traveling to Australia to join his girlfriend Taylor Swift after his triumphant return to Kansas City and the tragic events that ensued have not yet materialized.
Thus far, Travis has remained close to home, as exclusive DailyMail.com pictures depict him driving his Rolls Royce to grab lunch with a friend last Saturday after Super Bowl LVIII.
Travis hinted at the possibility of heading Down Under in this week's episode of his podcast, New Heights, suggesting a potential visit to an island soon. He mentioned that next week's podcast is a pre-recorded guest episode that does not feature him, leading fans to speculate whether he would be joining his girlfriend in Sydney from February 23 and possibly traveling with her to Singapore for her shows in the first week of March.

However, on Saturday, the 34-year-old Chiefs tight end enjoyed a leisurely ride through Kansas City with his windows down, smiling and waving at fans who spotted him.
Kelce spent under an hour at one of his favorite spots in the city, Rye, taking a to-go bag with him as he exited the back entrance of the busy restaurant.
He is a regular at Rye, and back in January, Swift, 34, took his teammates' girlfriends out for a birthday dinner, picking up the bill and opting to try the cinnamon roll, which is reportedly Kelce's favorite.
Swift is currently on the Australian leg of her tour, and fans have speculated whether Kelce would rush to support her in Melbourne after their romance dominated NFL coverage this season.
However, Swift's boyfriend does not seem to be in a hurry to make the long journey to Australia, looking calm as he walked into Rye - despite receiving backlash for his partying antics.
The NFL star faced criticism after being pictured at a 'scaled down' party following the mass shooting at the Chief's Super Bowl parade.

Both Kelce and Swift donated $100,000 to victims of the shooting, which saw 22 people rushed to hospital with gunshot wounds and left one woman, a local radio DJ, dead. Police confirmed that around half of those injured were children.
The tight end's donation came after he faced waves of criticism for partying and posing for a smiling selfie with a police officer in the wake of the deadly shooting.
He was seen beaming at Grünauer Restaurant and Bar on Wednesday, in a snap obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, alongside several teammates and their WAGs - including Patrick Mahomes' wife Brittany.
Kelce was part of a small group at the sports bar which also included Chiefs punter Tommy Townsend, center Creed Humphrey, tight end Matt Bushman, his wife Emily, and Mahomes.
Earlier in the day, local DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan was shot and killed in the incident which started as a 'dispute' between a group of youths, according to investigators.
Two juveniles have been arrested and were charged on Friday in connection with the incident, but Missouri law means their hearing was held in private and no other details have been made public.
The pair appeared in Jackson County Family Court on gun-related charges as well as resisting arrest.
Authorities are expecting more charges against the teens which could see them tried as adults.
