LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's paradise seems to be in a dark spot as recently sources claimed that the 'Lover' singer set some strict ground rules for her footballer boyfriend to abide by for the relationship to proceed well.

Though this update doesn't sound very refreshing for the Swifties, a few days ago these fans were swooning over the couple's whirlwind romance when Kelce visited Swift's Sydney leg of the Eras Tour.

Taylor Swift sets some ground rules for Travis Kelce

According to Daily Mail, Swift seems to have finally set some rules for Kelce, and he isn't thrilled about some of them, as told by a source close to the couple. From being a stranger to Swifties to turning into a heartthrob for the singer's fanbase, the tight end has been in the spotlight since their romance came to light in September 2023.

However, with the blow to his public image recently, earning flak following his highly intoxicated behavior at the Chiefs Super Bowl parade, the 'Enchanted' singer might have taken the cautious route to safeguard the relationship.

One rule that shocked the tight end was Swift banning him from posing with his female fans, as told by an insider to Life&Style.

The source, referring to Kelce, pointed out, "He has no interest in playing a calculated media game if it's going to make him think twice about every move he makes. That's not his style."

Moreover, the insider revealed that Swift likes to use FaceTime to communicate with Kelce instead of texting when they're apart because of work. It's not a hard and fast rule but more like something she prefers or suggests.

"She didn't overtly say it, but she secretly wants to see where he is and who he's with. Taylor's a good judge of character and fears that some of his buddies are red flags," mentioned the source.

Reportedly, Swift also wants Kelce to upgrade his wardrobe. The tipster claimed that the pop star gave her beau a budget of $500,000 to improve his fashion sense with high-end clothing.

They added, "She loves that he likes to take chances with his style choices, but some of his outfits have been suspect. He's at an all-new fame level, so stepping it up with designer duds is just part of the deal. Taylor says she's not changing him — it's an evolution."

However, the source emphasized that Swift's intentions aren't about controlling Kelce but rather helping him navigate his newfound level of fame.

"He may as well wear a GPS on his trouser belt," quipped a person, while someone else said, "Taylor is the man in the relationship."

An individual opined, "I mean they’re just boundaries. The one I don’t agree with his the female fans. Though yall go on like bafoons and start gossip any time he has a picture with a fan so it make sense. I never really seen him post anyone to his actual page though."
