LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Pop sensation Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce are one of the most attractive couples of 2023, but the singer is concerned that problems may be approaching given the speculations surrounding their well-publicized relationship.

According to a source who spoke with Life and Style magazine, the couple is under more strain than ever because people will be observing their every action more closely the longer their relationship lasts.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship 'starting to feel the pressure'

The year 2023 has been a memorable year for Taylor Swift. She began what is expected to be the world's highest-grossing concert tour, released the highest-grossing concert video ever, broke her own chart records, became a billionaire, and defeated world leaders to win Time magazine's 'Person of the Year' award.

However, things began to change shortly after Swift gave the Time magazine interview, according to a source.

The source stated, "She and Travis are now five months into their relationship, and because of all the attention and the scrutiny, they’re really starting to feel the pressure."

"All eyes are on them, and friends are worried the pair won’t make it," the source added.

The source stressed that there might be danger on the horizon. "But the hard conversations are coming up. For one thing, they’ve had to deal with nasty rumors," the source added.

This was apparent on Swift’s 34th birthday on December 13. There was a lot of conjecture leading up to the event suggesting Kelce would go all out. He was allegedly organizing a lavish celebration with her friends and relatives.

But the singer's birthday passed quickly. Kelce was nowhere to be found when Swift celebrated by heading out to New York with several of her famous pals.

This not only refuted speculations that he was planning a grand celebration for her birthday, but it also sparked rumors that something was wrong between them, indicating the intense scrutiny surrounding their newest relationship.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's hectic schedules might negatively impact their relationship

As Swift and Kelce's romance blossomed, more worries surfaced because of their hectic schedules over the past weeks.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end's absence from Swift's birthday celebration was due to his dedication to his team ahead of their upcoming games, though they had already celebrated in the early hours of December 13, as per Music Times.

There are concerns that Swift and Kelce will not be able to maintain their relationship by 2024 as a result of their expanding schedules. The source made it clear that the two could still succeed in making it to the end.

The insider told Life & Style (via OK! Magazine) that "they definitely seem committed to each other but Taylor always seems committed to whoever she's dating."

"This time could be different, though. She lights up every time she sees Travis. She may finally have found 'the one'," the source added.

Taylor Swift denies Travis Kelce rumors

It has been pointed up that Travis Kelce has made comments in the past, including references to wanting to find a “breeder”—a woman with whom he may have children—during an earlier 2023 'New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce' podcast episode, which some fans have found repulsive.

Furthermore, Kelce is alleged to have a past of adultery. Speaking to Daily Mail, his ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole publicly cautioned Swift. Nicole not only revealed that Kelce had an affair with her, but she also cautioned the pop star to be careful of his motives.

The source told Life and Style, "While Taylor doesn’t believe any of it. It’s still hard to ignore and creates some tension between her and Travis."

Additionally, Kelce and Swift had to deal with rumors about her previous relationship.

For instance, the singer's representative removed from Instagram earlier this month an accusation made by the gossip account DeuxMoi that she secretly married Joe Alwyn during their six-year romance, which came to an end at the beginning of 2023.
