Why Taylor Swift docuseries, Travis Kelce podcast not nominated for a Golden Globe 2026

Thousands of Taylor Swift fans were observed wondering whether she was at Golden Globes 2026 after pictures and videos of celebrities from the red carpet staring surfacing online.

However, after the ceremony US media confirmed that Taylor Swift and her fiancé Travis Kelce were not at the event.

Some fans were seen wondering whether the singer somehow got nominated for a Golden Globe.

But an entertainment website reported that the couple did not attend the awards ceremony because they had no pressing reason to attend it.

"They are not presenting and don’t have projects nominated. Swift, who has been up for Best Original Song – Motion Picture four times in the past, hasn’t written any music for a film soundtrack in 2025," according to Elle.com.

The outlet wrote that Taylor Swift sparked rumors that she’s been in Los Angeles this weekend after multiple stars were photographed leaving the Bird Streets Club on Friday night carrying sourdough loaves with labels that appeared to be in Swift’s handwriting. 

But at Sunday’s Golden Globes, neither the singer nor her fiancé, Travis Kelce, was spotted on the red carpet.

Elle reported that while Kelce did have a project eligible—his podcast New Heights in the Best Podcast category—it wasn’t nominated. 

Writing about the reason, it said that  the Golden Globes discontinued its Best Documentary award after 1977, and Swift’s December docuseries The End of an Era was released too recently to be eligible for the 2026 awards shows.
