Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's 'very serious' relationship heats up as couple has 'so much fun' together
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce are making waves not just in their respective careers but also in their blossoming romance.
Fresh off a heartwarming public display of affection, the pop sensation and her Kansas City Chiefs beau are reportedly stronger than ever. An insider close to the couple reveals to PEOPLE that their relationship is “very serious” and feels notably different for both of them.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are 'very serious' about each other
“They really are very, very happy together,” the source shared. “Their relationship feels unique and special to each of them.”
Fans got a close-up of their playful chemistry on June 23, when Kelce, 34, carried Swift, 34, onstage during her performance of 'I Can Do It With a Broken Heart' from her chart-topping album 'The Tortured Poets Department'.
During the act, Kelce donned a top hat and tuxedo, powdering Swift’s face and showing off some dance moves alongside her dancers.
“They have so much fun together, and it just works,” says the insider. “Initially, their friends wondered about their commonalities, but it’s clear how similar they are. They both wear their hearts on their sleeves and commit fully to everything they do, whether it’s their careers, family, or friends.”
As Swift continues her record-shattering Eras Tour, recently performing three nights at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Kelce remains her biggest supporter. He was spotted mingling with actress Julia Roberts in the VIP tent during her final show in Dublin. Swift's tour is scheduled to continue until December, culminating after more than 150 performances.
Kelce, on the other hand, is gearing up for the upcoming NFL season, with the Kansas City Chiefs training camp starting on July 21 and their first game against the Baltimore Ravens on September 5.
“Football is definitely still his priority, but so is his relationship,” the source notes. “He makes romantic gestures to show he’s thinking of her when they’re apart. She’s going to try to attend as many of his games as possible.”
Another insider reveals Kelce’s excitement about joining Swift onstage in London. “They loved being onstage together,” the source says. “He is confident and fun, and it was one of her tour highlights.”

The 'Karma' singer and the tight end were first linked in September when Swift made a public appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs game. Since then, their love story has gone international with trips to Australia, Singapore, and Italy.
In an episode of the 'Bussin’ With the Boys' podcast recorded on June 19, Kelce opened up about their relationship, revealing how Swift seamlessly fits into his life amid his at-times chaotic football career.
“She understands situations like that, and I think that’s why I really started to really fall for her, was how genuine she is around friends, family,” he said. “It can get crazy for somebody with that much attention, and she just keeps it so chill and so cool. She wants to be a part of it. She wants to support me.”

As NFL players gear up for the upcoming 2024-2025 pre-season, Kelce made a whirlwind trip from teammate Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s wedding in California on Saturday to Dublin for the show. He was also seen in the VIP area, hugging and chatting with actress Julia Roberts.
This Dublin appearance marks the second time in recent weeks that Kelce has joined Swift at one of her shows. On June 23, he was in London, where he took to the stage in a tuxedo and top hat to assist Swift with a costume change for her song 'I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.'
Another video from the London show captured the couple backstage, holding hands and waving at Swift's fans as they walked through the area. Swift performed the live debut of the Tortured Poets Department track 'Clara Bow' in front of Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, whom she referred to as “a hero of mine” from the stage.
