Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Progressing: ‘They’re Both Excited’

Taylor Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce is starting to become something more than just a good time during her tour break. A source told Entertainment Tonight that while Swift initially didn’t expect much, things are escalating between her and the Kansas City Chiefs player.

“When Taylor and Travis first connected, Taylor was looking to have fun while enjoying some downtime,” the source said. “So far, it’s been a nice change of pace for her. Now, as things progress between Taylor and Travis, they’re both looking to keep it more private. They’re both excited about where things are headed.”

Kelce spoke on his podcast New Heights this Wednesday about his intention to keep their relationship more private after Swift’s viral appearance at his Sunday football game. “What’s real is it is my personal life, and I want to respect both of our lives,” he said. “She’s not in the media as much as I am, doing this show every single week, and you know, having fun during the NFL season and on other guys’ shows like The [Pat] McAfee Show, and any other show that I go on from here on out.”

“I’m enjoying life, and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend so everything moving forward, I think me talking about sports…will kind of have to be where I keep it,” he said.

Kelce and Swift may have another very public moment soon though. A source recently told Entertainment Tonight that the singer is planning to attend the Kansas City Chiefs match against the New York Jets at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium this upcoming Sunday.

A second source added, “The Jets haven’t been notified specifically about Taylor coming to Sunday’s game but are prepared to welcome her if she decides to come. Patrick Mahomes booked a suite for his family and friends, and Taylor could be joining that suite.”
