Travis Kelce got out of the house on Wednesday to hit up a concert ... but it was NOT a date night for the NFL star -- TMZ Sports has learned Taylor Swift stayed behind.

The Chiefs tight end made his way over to the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City to catch Jelly Roll belt out some tunes to a packed arena ... but we're told Swift was not among those in attendance.

Unclear where she was -- but with an "Eras" tour show slated to go down at Rogers Centre in Toronto on Thursday night ... it's safe to assume work took priority.

JoJo Siwa is ready to face the world again after a controversial fall ... stepping out in Los Angeles for the first time in over a month for a few caffeine-fueled errands.

Check it out ... the "Dance Moms" alum is back to business after upsetting some Beyoncé fans who thought she mocked the singer at the Industry Dance Awards in October. Seemingly shaking off the backlash, JoJo hits up a local coffee shop in L.A., where she gets a little work done on her computer -- even making time for a sweet selfie with a fan.

JoJo seems pretty energized to get back out in the public eye ... and the massive coffee in her hand may have something to do with the pep in her step.

The attorney who is representing more than 120 alleged victims against Diddy says he's setting his sights on other high-profile people who attended "Freak-Offs" -- even if they did nothing illegal.

Attorney Tony Buzbee appears in our new Tubi documentary, "TMZ Presents The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak-Offs" ... and he is going full bore. Buzbee says if there were people at the freak-offs who watched people who were sexually abused after being drugged and they did nothing to stop it, they're just as guilty as the perpetrators.

That said, Buzbee tells us there are other celebrities, politicians and businesspeople in his crosshairs.

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign maybe got snubbed for a Best Rap Album Grammy for their "Vultures 1" ... but one group of Memphis rappers is claiming the dynamic duo snubbed them on credit that helped the finished product!!!

KC and Mark have no plans to reconcile romantically, so she respects the TikTok star's decision to get back out there after their split.
