It’s hard to imagine Taylor Swift without Travis Kelce. Both of their lives were completely different before and it’s sweet to see how the after has turned out for the dynamic duo. In her last relationship with Joe Alwyn, things were locked down and private, but Swifties have seen a new side to their favorite pop star since the Kansas City Chiefs tight end entered the chat.
“Taylor has always been a strong woman, but she’s also battled self-doubt and feared criticism like anyone else,” a Life & Style insider noted. “She says getting older and being in a healthy, loving relationship has allowed her to let go of a lot of that.” Swift is reportedly less worried about “what people are or aren’t seeing” because she’s now focused on being “more relaxed and authentic.”

Kelce is a man who loves out loud and he’s “super enthusiastic and unapologetic about showing his support and love for her.” His weekly proclamations of adoration for her on his New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce give fans a clue as to how genuine this romance was from the very beginning. Just take a look at what the “Shake It Off” singer said to Time in December 2023 in the early stages of their relationship.
“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” she explained. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
That early-romance philosophy has carried them across the globe as she traveled for her Eras Tour and through two seasons of Kelce’s NFL career. They make the space and time for each other because they are each other’s biggest cheerleaders.
“I wanted to see Tay one more time before this thing got closed up,” Kelce shared on the Nov. 6 episode of his New Heights podcast after attending Swift’s Nov. 2 Indianapolis show. “I’ll tell you what, man. The American crowds, they did not disappoint. I heard that it was a lot more rowdy this time around, knowing she was coming back to stop through America one last time before the tour was over with, and I’ll tell you what, man, that thing was rocking. Absolutely rocking.”
