Taylor Swift Will ‘Be Sad’ Returning to ‘Eras Tour’ After Time Off ‘Deepened’ Bond With Travis Kelce.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have “deepened their bond” during “all the time they’ve spent together recently,” a source tells Us Weekly exclusively.

“It makes the prospect of her tour more challenging. She’ll be sad,” the insider says, referring to Swift’s Eras Tour which kicks off its European leg in a fortnight (see what we did there).

Both Swift, 34, and Kelce, also 34, understand that work is a priority, per the source.

They support and respect [each other],” the source adds. “They have busy careers, so they understand those commitments, as difficult as it is.”

One major plus was Kelce being by Swift’s side to celebrate the release of The Tortured Poets Department album, which officially dropped on Friday, April 19.

The same source tells Us that the couple took “a trip up the California coast” in order to “celebrate privately.” The insider adds, “They’re making the most of the time they have together.” (The couple was spotted with Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper on a joint vacation in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, Travis’ mom, Donna Kelce, confirmed the trip upon seeing Cooper at QVC’s Age of Possibility summit in Las Vegas earlier this week.)

Kelce has spent a lot of the NFL offseason in Los Angeles, filming new game show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity and spending time with Swift. He was last on the football field when the Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl LVII against the San Francisco 49ers in February. The following month, Kelce, 34, accompanied Swift to her Eras Tour dates in Singapore before they returned to the West Coast.

A source previously told Us that Swift and Kelce were in their “nesting” era during their time off.

“They’re focused on rest and recuperation and relaxing at home and having low-key and chill time together,” the insider shared in March. “They are enjoying movie nights in her home theater, catching up on films and shows they’ve missed.”

The couple was focused on “rest” and “spending quality time together” while they had “a break from the buzz of their careers.” The source went on to say that Swift and Kelce are “scheduling” their respective projects in order to “see each other as much as possible.”

The source added: “They don’t want to spend too much time apart.”

Swift and Kelce took their relationship public in September 2023.

New now: Travis Kelce reveals “painful” moment with Taylor Swift at Patrick Mahomes’ charity golf event

On the latest episode of the New Heights Show with Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce, Travis recounted his trip to Las Vegas with Taylor Swift for Patrick Mahomes’ charity golf event and gala. The weekend was blemished by one very painful moment that Taylor won’t be quick to forget.

The power couple made headlines at Patrick and Brittany Mahomes’ fundraising gala for the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation on Saturday, when Kelce unexpectedly took the stage to auction off four tickets to Swift’s Eras Tour. The donation raised a remarkable $80,000 for charity.

Most of the trip was “an absolute blast,” according to the highest-paid tight end in the NFL. His girlfriend Swift joined him in a return to Las Vegas, where the 34-year-old won his third Super Bowl ring as the Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in February.

“I don’t lose in Vegas,” Kelce said, highlighting the golf portion of the event, where he earned the first-place trophy that turned out to be the cause of his demise at the charity event.

Kelce’s painful moment went viral and made it to the podcast. His failure to chug a celebratory beer out of the glass award prompted jokes from social media and his big brother on air.

“For a guy that is as good at chugging as you are, this is embarrassing,” Jason said in disappointment.

“Yeah, it was bad,” Travis explained. “I had also chugged out of the second and third place trophies right before I chugged with my team, so that was on a full stomach and it was painful.”

“I’m not gonna say whether it stayed down or not,” he added, painting an unpleasant picture of the moment that he and Taylor will soon want to forget.
