Travis Kelce made an early morning dash in a private jet to ensure he was back in Kansas City to receive Sportsperson of the Year – but left behind girlfriend Taylor Swift and her A-List pals at a birthday bash for disgraced Blake Lively, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The power reunited for an end-of-summer getaway – with the NFL star travelling from the pop sensations $17m Rhode Island mansion to a nearby airfield two days after he first arrived.
Images obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com show Travis boarding the plane and shaking hands with airport staff, before security followed him carrying his bag for the weekend.
Donning a white baseball cap and sweater the star attempted to keep a low profile with cars blocking the view to the plane, before starting the two-hour trip back to Kansas City alone, leaving the ‘Fortnight’ singer alone with her friends.
He climbed the stairs to the Dassault Falcon jet – the same type as his girlfriends – at midnight, giving him several hours before his expected appearance at the Kansas City Sports Awards.

Travis is nominated for the Polsinelli Sportsman of the Year, but could end up accepting the accolade alone despite Swift’s two-month break from touring.
The tight end seems to be taking advice from his jet-setting superstar girlfriend with the early morning flight, with Taylor famously telling him after they won their second Superbowl in Las Vegas that ‘jet lag is a choice’.
Travis and Taylor looked loved up in pictures first published by DailyMail.com, spending quality time together after the singer wrapped up the European leg of her Era’s Tour on Tuesday.
She arrived back in the US on Wednesday, and was joined by her NFL beau and Hollywood pals on Friday – with the guest list including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Bradley Cooper, Gigi Hadid and their children, along with Wrexham co-owner Rob Mcelhenney.
The couple had been enjoying a wholesome family trip, with Kylie and Jason joining the all-star Chiefs line up with their children, as the latter continues to enjoy his first offseason after retirement.
Jason, who will be starting his new TV role with Amazon Prime next month, and Kylie left Rhode Island a few hours before Travis, heading home to Delaware at around 5pm.

Chief’s quarterback Patrick Mahomes was also in attendance with his wife Brittany and their two children, enjoying the sunshine ahead of the season – with the quarterback and tight end enduring a difficult pre-season with three straight losses.
Mahomes returned to his multi-million dollar complex close to Kelce’s home in Kansas City early on Sunday, skipping the majority of the birthday celebrations for Blake Lively.
Both Kelce and Mahomes are expected to return to the Arrowhead Stadium training facilities on Wednesday, though it is unclear if the tight end will return to his girlfriend’s side for Labor Day weekend.

Ryan smiled and joked around with another one of the youngsters before heading to the pool, joining the many kids soaking up the sun with their famous parents.
One picture shows Blake styled in a multi-colored robe peering toward the camera as she strolled on a balcony with her children, rubbing shoulders with Bradley Cooper and his daughter.
Cooper cut a relaxed figure in a black t-shirt and shorts as he headed down to Swift’s pool with the kids, who were giggling and dive-bombing into the water.
Kylie Kelce also put in an appearance at the birthday bash, donning a baby blue bikini with white dungarees as she accompanied her daughter to the pool.
Blake had been lying low amid the ongoing It Ends With Us drama which left the actress ‘fearing for her career’, but was seen breaking cover for the first time yesterday.
Taylor gathered a large group of her Girl Squad and their partners to her $17m home, with Gigi Hadid joining to mark Blake’s birthday, along with her beau Bradley Cooper and his daughter. (Pictured: Blake with her children at the home last week)

She hugged and kissed Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds as the pair appeared to be reunited on Saturday afternoon, before partying with their fellow A-List crew.
Blake, for her part, has been slammed for using her alcohol brand to promote It Ends With Us, which focuses heavily on domestic abuse, and for the way she appeared to make light of serious questions about the themes during interviews.
The actress has also been targeted for her apparent ongoing feud with director Justin Baldoni, which has spilled into the press after she and other cast members unfollowed her co-star on social media.
Swift’s $17million vacation home achieved celebrity status after it became the site of Taylor’s legendary star-studded Independence Day parties.
Taylor, however, was forced to skip the festivities this year thanks to her 51-date tour across Europe which wrapped up on Tuesday.
But the pop superstar has returned to her iconic holiday house for the first time this summer – now with her beau in tow. Dozens of Swifties are now waiting by the singer’s gate for a glimpse of her, despite being told to move on by her security.
Parents can be heard having a word to their children who are desperately trying to snatch a picture of the pop star and her famous guests, after spotting dozens of armed guards were spotted along the perimeter of the property.
Some brazen fans even attempted to climb the wall at the back of the lavish property, before being quickly shooed away by her security.
Swift was reported to have purchased the Colonial-style mansion, also known as High Watch, with cash back in 2013.
Sitting on five acres with 11,000 square feet, eight bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and its own private beach, the sprawling residence is the most expensive home in the state.

With an expansive backyard and massive swimming pool overlooking the ocean, the pad makes for the perfect summer home.
And Kelce wouldn’t be the first boyfriend to visit the iconic residence, after the two enjoyed quality time together at her home base in Beverly Hills after a whirlwind few months of jet-setting and international rendezvous as a long distance couple.

Kelce had been seen being every inch the supportive boyfriend throughout his girlfriend’s European tour earlier this summer, making appearances in Dublin, Paris, London, and Amsterdam.
He attended his last concert in Gelsenkirchen, Germany where he was seen hugging the popstar at the end of her set in July before reporting to Chiefs training camp in Kansas City.
The tight end later kicked off the NFL pre-season on August 8, with the team playing the Chicago Bears on Thursday.
He is set to return to the field on September 5 for the first official game of the NFL season. Taylor, meanwhile, will enjoy a nice two-month break before embarking on the last leg of her Eras Tour in Miami in mid-October.
