Now that there is a break in Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, it feels like her relationship with Travis Kelce has risen a notch. The dynamic duo was spotted in New York City taking in everything from a slice of pizza to the U.S. Open. Their level of fame is so bright that having moments of privacy have become increasingly important as they figure out the next steps in their romance — that’s why the 34-year-old singer has reportedly created new rules for Kelce.
“Travis loves to show Taylor off,” a Life & Style source revealed. “She appreciates it but she’s cautioning him from revealing too much about their private lives.” The couple hit the one-year mark which is notable because they are “very happy to prove the doubters wrong.” Still, they need to set up boundaries, so their love isn’t constantly in the headlines.
They recently navigated a fake contract scandal that outlined their breakup plans — sorry, haters, Swift and Kelce’s relationship is real. Full Scope Public Relations, the Kansas City Chiefs athletes’ PR rep told USA Today that the claims are “entirely false.” The statement read, “These documents are entirely false and fabricated and were not created, issued, or authorized by this agency.” Swift and Kelce have reached that A-list power couple status where weird rumors start to gain fuel on social media.
So, it’s understandable that she’s asking her boyfriend to be “a little more discreet” as they move into the second year of their relationship. “He wears his heart on his sleeve and says what’s on his mind,” the Life & Style source added while noting that he often reveals little Swift secrets on his New Heights podcast. Still, Kelce understands what it takes to date a superstar and both of them are “100 percent committed to making this relationship work.” Teamwork makes the dream work!
Taylor Swift's Support for Travis Kelce
While on break from her tour, Taylor has pledged to attend as many of Travis’ games as possible. “She’ll be cheering him on from the VIP suite,” says the source, noting that Taylor’s excited to spend more time with Travis’ friends and family. “She fits in well with his crew. She’s completely down-to-Earth around them and not what they thought a superstar would be like. They genuinely like her.”
When she heads back on the road — her tour resumes in mid-October in Miami — she’s promised to fly back as often as she can. And on the days they can’t see each other, Taylor is insisting they FaceTime. “They’ll be doing lots of texting and calling, too, but Taylor likes to see Travis in real time,” says the source. “She likes to know where he is and who he’s with. It’s not that she doesn’t trust him, she just wants to feel connected.”
The Boundaries of Their Relationship
The parameters go both ways. Both have agreed to not be photographed getting too close to members of the opposite sex to avoid unnecessary speculation. “Taylor’s been in this biz long enough to know what comes with being in the spotlight,” reveals the source. Travis is getting a taste of it too: On September 3, a rep with the tight end’s PR company said viral documents outlining a breakup plan for the pair were fabricated.
Getting the garrulous Ohio native to censor himself may be the biggest hurdle. He and his brother, Jason, recently signed a deal for more than $100 million for their popular “New Heights” podcast. “He wears his heart on his sleeve and says what’s on his mind,” says the source of the star, who makes his scripted TV debut on Ryan Murphy’s Grotesquerie series in late September. As much as she’s his biggest fan, Taylor doesn’t want fans calling her a distraction, especially if the Chiefs lose. “She’s reminding Travis to be a little more discreet.”
A Love Story That's Here to Stay
It’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make. “Taylor and Travis see a future together,” says the source. “They are 100 percent committed to making this relationship work.”
While some fans may find Taylor's request for more privacy a bit surprising, it's a smart move for a couple navigating the intense scrutiny of the public eye. After all, the best relationships are built on communication, respect, and a willingness to compromise - and it seems Taylor and Travis are doing just that. After all, teamwork makes the dream work! And as long as they keep the lines of communication open and remember that their love is worth protecting, their relationship is sure to thrive.
