Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s families reportedly couldn’t be happier for the couple as their relationship gets more serious.
On Thursday, an insider told Entertainment Tonight that the pair’s families “are both on board” with their romance and “everyone on Travis’ side loves Taylor and vice versa.”
“It’s a supportive dynamic all around,” the source shared. “Their loved ones have never seen either of them so happy and hope and believe that it will continue.”
Kelce and Swift, both 34, started dating over the summer and went public with their romance in September when the “Cruel Summer” singer attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game.
Since then, she has become somewhat of a staple in the stands, often cheering on the tight end alongside his parents, Donna and Ed Kelce.

In fact, the 12-time Grammy winner brought her brother, Austin Swift, and parents, Scott and Andrea Swift, along with her to the game on Christmas Day, where they were seen mingling with Ed.
Despite doing long distance at the beginning of their romance due to Taylor’s tour schedule, the twosome have been spending lots of time together since she took a break in November.
According to the insider, the “Anti-Hero” singer and the Chiefs star are “closer than ever before and everyone around them can see that they’re an amazing match.”

“They love being together no matter what they’re doing and appreciate the little things in life,” the source explained. “They try to lead as normal lives as possible as a couple and are enjoying the upswing and growth in their relationship.”
“They believe that timing is everything and that this is their time,” they added.
When the singer isn’t hanging out with Travis in Kansas City, she can be found hanging out with her new Kansas City girl squad.

Taylor has gotten quite close to Brittany Mahomes — quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ wife — as well as a few other Chiefs WAGs since she started dating the hunky NFL star.
In fact, the “All Too Well” star recently enjoyed a girls night out on the town with her new pals, Megan Garrelts — the co-owner of Rye restaurant in Leawood, Kan. — told us Thursday.
According to Garrelts, Taylor rocked up to her restaurant last week alongside eight other Chiefs WAGs for a night of cocktails and comfort food.

“She was very, very nice,” Garrelts told us, noting that Taylor shook their hands when she arrived and picked up the tab at the end of the night.
Like Taylor, Garrelts had nothing but praise for Travis, who she said “comes in pretty often.”
“He’s awesome. He’s super nice,” she gushed about the NFL star. “He loves saying, ‘Hi,’ to people in the restaurant.”

While a date night at Rye might be in the couple’s future, we’re told they won’t be walking the Golden Globes red carpet together this weekend despite both being in Los Angeles.
Taylor who is nominated in the new category Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, is expected to attend the swanky event solo as Travis has a game against the LA Chargers just hours before the awards show starts.
Although the game will be over by the time the star-studded after-parties begin, we’re told he will be traveling back to Kansas City with his teammates.
“Rumor: NFL in Talks for Potential $1 Billion Venture with Taylor Swift”
The NFL has reaped the benefits of the relationship between Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce and 14-time Grammy Award winner Taylor Swift. Ever since the couple made their relationship public last September, a new wave of fans taken a sudden interest in the game. And more interest, of course, means more money.
Fortunately for the NFL, the relationship appears to be going strong. In addition to Swift attending 13 Chiefs games this season (that the public is aware of; one coach said she was coming to games before that), Kelce has been flying all over the world to support her while she is on her Eras Tour. Just today, the nine-time Pro Bowl tight end landed in Singapore, where Swift is finishing the Asian leg of her global concert series.

When Kelce and Swift made their relationship public in September, a whole new fanbase started following the NFL. Swift’s fans, known as “Swifties,” started following the Chiefs and watching other games. This led to a phenomena known as the “Taylor Swift Effect,” which saw teenage girls and their fathers taking an interest in something that they had not had before.
The sudden increase in fans watching the game also increased the NFL’s revenue. During the season, it was reported that Swift’s presence at games, and the interest it garnered, brought in over $300 million.
The NFL Wanted Taylor Swift to Perform at Halftime of Super Bowl LVIII

As anyone who tuned into Super Bowl LVIII knows, Usher was the featured artist during the highly anticipated halftime show. However, he was not the league’s first choice.
According to reports, the NFL had asked Swift to be the halftime performer for Super Bowl LVIII. However, her touring schedule and desire to simply watch Kelce as a fan/loved one prevented her from taking the gig. However, that does not mean she ruled out ever doing it, and it sounds like the league wants to make it happen sooner rather than later.
The NFL Believes Taylor Swift Could Bring In $1 Billion in Revenue If She Were the Super Bowl Performer Next Year

According to a report by The U.S. Sun, NFL business insiders said that influential people within the league are “desperate” to book Swift for the Super Bowl LIX halftime show. By their estimates, landing the 14-time Grammy Award winner could net the league over $1 billion:
“The ads could reach a cost of $8.5 million each, an increase of $1 million, or more. This year, it has been estimated that her presence helped generate a lot of money, estimated between $700-750 million. If she is the main artist of next year’s halftime show, it’s expected to generate more than $1.3-1.5 billion.”
The problem, though, is that Super Bowl performers do not really get paid for doing their show. In fact, almost all of them end up losing money by committing to do it. The NFL only pays performers based on the standard union contract, which is $1,000 a day. Performers are sometimes even asked to pay for the privilege to perform, on top of having to pay their crew and everyone else that goes into making their shows a success.
Swift, of course, is a billionaire herself and does not “need” the NFL’s money. However, it stands to reason that she (and any other performer for that matter) may desire a substantial amount more than $1,000 if her performance could bring in $1 billion for the league.
