Travis Kelce, 34, got behind the wheel of his electric Hummer after playing a few rounds of golf, which would have cost him $500 for the four-hour stint

It appears Kelce has been eager to stay close to home after the backlash over his ‘partying’ in the wake of the mass shooting that broke out last week at the Chiefs’ victory parade which saw more than 30 injured and one killed.

The NFL star had returned triumphant to Kansas City following their Super Bowl LVII win, before the tragedy unfolded.

Swift, 34, meanwhile, is currently on the Australian leg of her Eras Tour, leaving fans to speculate if Kelce will rush to support her in Melbourne after their romance dominated NFL coverage this season.

He had previously teased fans of his New Heights podcast, which aired on Wednesday, that he could be soon heading down under to see Swift.

Kelce added that next week’s podcast is a ‘guest’ episode which he is not featured in, which led fans to believe he could join his girlfriend in Sydney from February 23 – and maybe travel with her to Singapore for her shows in the first week of March.

But Swift’s boyfriend appears to be in no rush to make the long journey to Australia as of yet, opting to some downtime at home.

The golf outing came a day after the NFL star was seen driving his Rolls Royce to get lunch with a friend on Saturday.

He spent under an hour at one of his favorite haunts in the city, Rye, taking a to-go bag with him as he slipped out the back entrance of the busy restaurant.

On Sunday he looked calm as he returned from his four-hour long virtual golf session, despite receiving backlash for his partying antics.

He was hit with a barrage of criticism after he was pictured at a ‘scaled down’ party following the mass shooting at the Chiefs celebration parade.

Kelce and Swift each donated $100,000 to victims of the shooting, which saw 22 people rushed to hospital with gunshot wounds.

Police confirmed half of those injured were children.

The donation only came after he took 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 Granfalloon Restaurant and Bar on Wednesday in a snap obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com alongside several teammates and their WAGs – including quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife 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 and his wife Emily.

Local DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan was shot and killed in the incident which started as a ‘dispute’ between a group of two youths, according to investigators.
