Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are set to make the most of their upcoming free time together, with the smitten duo finally getting the chance to ‘play house’ and experience being a ‘normal couple.’
The pair have had to squeeze in time around Travis’ NFL season and Super Bowl victory with the Kansas City Chiefs, as well as Taylor’s ongoing Eras World Tour.
But with the singer on a much-needed break until May and Travis enjoying his offseason before training camp kicks off in July, the couple can finally enjoy having ‘no commitments’ – and they’re planning on spending it cooking and sleeping in at his home in Missouri and her base in New York.
‘This is the first time the two of them have had no commitments and they are both really looking forward to being a normal couple and playing house,’ a source exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com.
Taylor is known for spending her downtime baking and hosting friends – and the singer is said to be looking forward to doing the same with her partner.
‘She is looking forward to sleeping in and cooking dinners at home,’ the source continued.
‘They both want their relationship to be as normal as possible and it works because they are both very aware of their fame but neither let it go to their heads.’
However, the duo will still have to travel back and forth between their home bases in Kansas City, Missouri and New York City as Taylor prepares for the release of her next studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19.
The insider continued: ‘They will split their time between his house and NYC. Taylor is off Eras until May but that doesn’t mean she’s off completely.
Taylor and Travis were secretly dating for a few months before making their public debut at one of his Kansas City Chiefs games last September.
The singer, whose Eras Tour will stream on Disney+ from Friday, told Time magazine that she and Travis started dating just after she heard he tried to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it in July.
She said: ‘So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.
‘I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.’
Since then, she has publicly supported him at a number of games, while he travelled to South America, Australia and South East Asia to return the favor.
When the singer does resume her tour in Europe, Travis is expected to follow her from country to country for the first half of her four-month run of dates across the continent.
Taylor’s family are said to be ‘relieved’ that she is dating the 6’5 NFL star because he can ‘keep her safe.’
‘She is working on her push for everything Tortured Poets in April and Travis is going to be there every step of the way.’
Travis has already proven his dedication to making time for the pop superstar in recent weeks after he flew to Australia and South East Asia in order to support her.
The NFL player watched his girlfriend perform in Singapore last week before they enjoyed a romantic dinner together.
Prior to the meet-up, Travis and Taylor’s last encounter was in Sydney, Australia where they took a trip to the zoo during her downtime.
The pair flew back to the US to kick off their time off together in true A-list style, partying at Madonna‘s exclusive post-Oscars soiree in the Hollywood Hills on Sunday night.
According to British Vogue, the couple led a cavalcade of stars at the event including, Salma Hayek, Lily Gladstone, Jennifer Lawrence, Colman Domingo, Chris Rock and Matthew McConaughey.
They managed to evade photos due to the event’s strict no-cameras policy.
Taylor and Travis have been dating since last summer, with the sportsman reportedly already providing inspiration for his girlfriend’s music.
A source told Us Weekly: ‘Taylor has already written songs about Travis. She’s written at least two songs. They have to do with their love story and falling in love with him.’
However, Taylor allegedly has no plans to release the songs just yet, with the insider adding: ‘She likely won’t share them with anyone. They’re very special.
‘Songs are like poetry to her. Just like most people journal, Taylor writes lyrics. Her relationship with Travis has inspired her.’

6 Red Flags That Could Spell Trouble for Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift’s Future Together
Possible Difficulties For The Well-Known Couple
Since they ‘formally’ began dating in 2023, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship—which began sooner than anybody realized—has been a hot topic of discussion among the general public. However, some red flags and difficulties have emerged as these two well-known celebrities negotiate the complications of a relationship in the spotlight, throwing doubt on whether they will actually end up together in the long haul. The obstacles they encounter, while not unprecedented in the realm of celebrities, could be a potential deal-breaker if things go haywire. Here is a list of a few red flags that might affect their relationship in the long run.
1. Different Degree of Pressure on the Pair

The duo is undoubtedly under much more strain from Swift’s fan base. Swifties all over the world are obsessed with the couple and are closely following each move they make, analyzing and debating even the tiniest changes they come across. As reported by Newsweek, a new theory emerged which highlighted the “Green Line Test.” The fact Swift snatched Kelce for a kiss, according to supporters of the ‘test,’ is a very terrible indication of the relationship. The test is based on the body-language hypothesis, which states that a couple’s positioning while taking pictures together may reveal a lot about their relationship. Due to the public’s intense curiosity about their interpersonal dynamics, every action—or inaction—is closely watched. For the two, there is an additional degree of labor involved in sustaining a genuine relationship in the midst of this.
2. Kelce May Not Be into ‘High Maintainance’

Even more insight into Kelce’s dating preferences was provided via his open chat on the Let’s Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari podcast. The NFL player said that he has typically stayed away from ‘high-maintenance’ women, citing a great dislike for conceit or a feeling of superiority. He further added that he would prefer ‘grounded’ women more and said, “I’m out the door. I’ve never been a part of that.” He also confessed, “If you’re arrogant or you think you’re snooty or higher or above people, that’s the biggest turnoff for me.”
3. Both Met Each Other’s Families Too Quickly

As reported by Glam, relationship expert Susan Trombetti claimed, “Getting close to friends and family SO fast. Yes, it can be a good thing, but it seems to be a lot [and] very fast. Cheering him on with teammates’ wives and his mom, dinners with Brittany Mahomes, etc., all does feel fast.” In the realm of celebrity relationships, the brief overview of family dynamics might be considered a big stride. This early familial participation gives a new dimension to Swift and Kelce’s connection. Whether the quick family integration is a sign of their strong relationship or a warning sign early in their romance, fans and experts alike can’t help but wonder.
4. Swift’s Alleged Attachment Issues

One recurrent element is Swift’s history of assiduously blending into her partner’s family. After just five weeks of dating, she spent Thanksgiving with actor Jake Gyllenhaal’s family in 2010. When Swift was seen going to one of Kelce’s games with his mother, many felt this pattern had reappeared. A relationship expert told The Daily Mail, “If you get attached easily and early, it could be a sign you have an anxious attachment style. People with anxious attachment styles cling to others because they are afraid of being abandoned.”
5. The Paparazzi Pressure

Swift and Kelce can face new obstacles in their relationship as a result of the paparazzi’s unrelenting pursuit of them. Relationship expert Trombetti added, “The paparazzi that stakes the two of them out is a major problem. It’s part of being in the spotlight, but it’s more because they will report on everything and make it into something that it’s not, which can cause distrust between the couples. They are waiting for anything that isn’t to make it look like dirt.”
6. Travis Kelce Snapped at His Coach

The Chiefs tight end lost his cool and yelled at Andy Reid in the second quarter of Super Bowl LVIII between Kansas City and the San Francisco 49ers, which caused Reid to stumble. The incident was caught on video by CBS. As Kelce seemed to be shouting and clinging to Reid’s arms, Jerick McKinnon intervened, defused the situation, and pushed Kelce away. Although this kind of conduct is ideally limited to important games when tensions are very high, this episode gave fans a clearer picture of Kelce’s competitive attitude, displaying a nuanced mix of intensity and unplanned emotions. Some fans have felt this encounter between the player and his coach was a huge red flag, with many expressing their views on social media as well.
