In 2023, Taylor Swift experienced a year marked by significant career milestones and personal developments. The Grammy winner kicked off her monumental Eras Tour in March, setting a record for the highest-grossing tour of all time.
The tour spanned 151 shows across five continents and showcased Swift’s musical eras through a captivating three-hour performance. Changes in personal life
Amid her professional success, Swift faced changes in her personal life. In April, news broke of her split-up from long-time boyfriend Joe Alwyn. Speculations about their breakup had circulated since the release of Swift’s breakup ballad “You’re Losing Me” in November 2022.
Controversy arose when Swift was briefly linked to musician Matty Healy in May. The connection faced scrutiny due to Healy’s past remarks about Swift, leading fans to launch a #SpeakUpNow campaign for an apology.
Swift’s romantic life took a turn in July when NFL player Travis Kelce publicly expressed his interest in her on his podcast. Their relationship remained private until September when they officially went public. Since then, Swift and Kelce have been a couple, attending each other’s events and games.
As Swift celebrates her 34th birthday on December 13, her fans reflect on her eventful year, encompassing a record-breaking tour, high-profile relationships, and personal growth.
When it comes to Travis Kelce, “He’s down-to-earth and isn’t affected by fame. She also thinks he’s hot.”
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are seemingly dating (not to be confused with seemingly ranch)—at least, that’s the vibe the entire world is getting from her showing up to multiple (!!) Chiefs games in a row, chilling with his mom, and driving off in his getaway car.
But if you’re wondering how serious these two are, Us Weekly is out here with a source who dished that Taylor and Travis are talking non-stop and she’s not trying to hide their relationship.
The insider noted that Taylor and Travis “talk every day,” and that “Taylor’s really enjoying getting to know Travis. They’re taking it day by day, but she has high hopes. She likes that he’s a normal, nice guy. He’s down-to-earth and isn’t affected by fame. She also thinks he’s hot.”
Meanwhile, another source added that “Travis is completely smitten,” while yet another said that, “Taylor’s doing all the things she hasn’t had time for lately, like going out with her friends and staying out late.”
They also mentioned that, “Taylor is at a point in her life where she’s no longer willing to hold back. If something feels right—like it does with Travis—she’s jumping in with both feet. She’s very happy and loving life right now.”
Oh, and after keeping her relationship with Joe Alwyn so private for years, another insider maintained that, “Taylor has decided she’s not going to hide anymore. She’s going to be her authentic self and enjoy life.”
Travis Kelce sends Taylor Swift fans wild as he sings ‘Bad Blood’ to describe Kenny Pickett’s Pittsburgh Steelers exit: ‘He’s a 1989 stan!’
Travis Kelce just can’t seem to shake Taylor Swift off his mind these days – even when he’s discussing football.
Kelce, whose whirlwind romance with Swift has gone from strength to strength over the past six months, couldn’t resist a nod to his pop-megastar girlfriend while assessing Kenny Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ acrimonious split this week.
On the latest episode of his and brother Jason’s New Heights podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end touched on the rumored ill-feeling between Pickett and Pittsburgh as they went their separate ways.
‘Kenny and the Steelers, their relationship ended in a little “baaaad blood”,’ he sang in the tone of Swift’s hit song from her Grammy-winning 1989 album. ‘Because Kenny is saying he preferred to move on.’
After his 1989 reference, Swift’s legion of fans were sent into a frenzy on social media, with one writing: ‘Travis kelce never beating the biggest 1989 stan allegations!’

Another put: ‘Travis Kelce proving once again he’s a 1989 stan belting out Bad Blood on @newheightshow’.
While one exclaimed: ‘travis kelce belting out bad blood unprovoked on @newheightshow HE’S ONE OF US FR’.
The Steelers traded Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles last week for a third-round pick and two future seventh-rounders, with the quarterback forced to make way after the arrival of Russell Wilson.
Pickett is said to have been frustrated after learning of Wilson’s move to Pittsburgh, which he reportedly discovered on social media, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
However, Eagles legend Jason – who announced his retirement earlier this month – believes a fresh start in Philadelphia could be just what the doctor ordered this year.
‘Sometimes it’s the fit, the system… whatever it is he gets to have a fresh start now and come over to Philadelphia,’ he said about Pickett. ‘Obviously he’ll be behind Jalen Hurts and have an opportunity to learn and grow and play with some really good players.
‘Hopefully this is a better fit for Kenny and he can really maximize his potential in Philadelphia now.’
Travis revealed he was up at the crack of dawn to squeeze in the latest recording of New Heights with Jason amid his romantic offseason plans with Swift.
The Chiefs star and his girlfriend have been enjoying some downtime ever since she finished the latest leg of her Eras Tour in Singapore earlier this month.

It’s been claimed Travis and girlfriend are currently on a romantic getaway in the Bahamas after they were reportedly spotted on the dock at Valentines Resort & Marina at Harbour Island
After Kansas City’s Super Bowl win last month, Kelce had flown out to Singapore and Australia to watch the songstress perform before the couple nestled down at her $25million home in Los Angeles.
However, Swifties believe they jetted off to a romantic getaway in the Caribbean on Sunday.
And it appears the three-time Super Bowl winner had to rearrange his recording schedule with Jason to accommodate his and Swift’s plans for quality time together.
‘Just to be forewarned, this episode – the first half – is actually being recorded Saturday before this comes out so we’re going to be behind on some free agency moves coming up,’ Jason explained during Wednesday’s episode.
‘Saturday morning to be exact,’ he added. ‘We are 9am ET and Trav’s 6am over there on the West Coast.’
‘Early risers baby! Early bird gets the word,’ Travis chimed in with the early morning clearly leaving him a bit drowsy as he tripped over his words in the idiom.
‘We’re just jacked up on accelerators. But we made it. We’re here and we’re doing this f***ing podcast.’
