While the couple have not shied away from the public eye since first connecting in the summer of 2023, they still value their privacy. “I’m not sitting here trying to juggle, like, ‘How can I keep this under wraps?'” Kelce explained. “You just don’t want to let everybody into your personal life and be able to comment on it knowing that everything she does is getting a headline.”

He added: “I’ve had fun with just about every aspect of it — it’s just when you’re at home, you want privacy. And you don’t always get that.”

Earlier that month, Swift and Kelce took a major step in their relationship when he joined her on stage during one of her London concerts. He later revealed on his and brother Jason Kelce‘s “New Heights” podcast that the cameo was his idea, sharing that Swift “found the perfect part of the show for me to come in.”

Swift, meanwhile, gushed via Instagram that she was “still cracking up/swooning over” Travis’ Eras Tour debut after the fact.

As the pair approached their one-year anniversary, a source said that they are “wildly in love.”

“They have daily FaceTimes when they’re apart and send cute texts to each other,” the insider said. “A year [into their relationship] there is such an ease between them. It seems like they’ve been together longer because they are so in tune.”

A second source divulged that the two “are very confident in their relationship” despite the time they spend apart due to their work commitments.

“Nobody has ever made Taylor feel this way,” a third insider said. “Taylor and Travis bring out the best in each other and lift each other up. She absolutely sees this going the distance.”

Swift will be on hiatus from her tour until October when she resumes her performances in North America. The venture will conclude in Canada in December. Travis, for his part, will play his first official game of the 2024-2025 NFL season on September 5.
