The NFL star was back in Kansas City as the Chiefs prepare to take on the Patriots in New England on Sunday.

The Daily Mail captured evidence of his absence by photographing Kelce and his Rolls Royce on his way to practice — and nearly running over a squirrel!

While Kelce could not be there on the actual birthday, it seems big plans are afoot to celebrate at some point.

A source told US Weekly that Kelce “wants to throw the best party possible” for Swift and “money is no object.”

It is unclear exactly when or where the festivities will be and whether Swift will be in attendance for Kelce’s game Sunday in Foxborough.

However, the couple already had a night out in Kansas City — along with Patrick and Brittany Mahomes — after Sunday’s 20-17 loss to the Bills.

That was the sixth Chiefs game Swift has attended this season. She missed a Monday night showdown with the Eagles — and Kelce’s brother, Jason — while on the “Eras Tour” in South America.

The practice preparation is crucial for the Chiefs as their offense has scuffled below their usual standards this season.

Kansas City’s loss to Buffalo was highlighted by Kelce’s brilliant touchdown lateral to Kadarius Toney being overturned by a Toney offsides penalty.

The loss dropped the defending Super Bowl champs to 8-5, only one game ahead of the Broncos in the AFC West.
