Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship has hit a 'turning point', report claims
The romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has reportedly reached a 'turning point' as the 14-time Grammy winner and NFL superstar have spent plenty of low-key time together in recent months. A rare period of calm after Swift wrapped her worldwide 'Eras Tour' last December, combined with Kelce being in the NFL's offseason since February, has given the lovely couple more time than ever together. That period may be coming to a close as training camp looms for the Kansas City Chiefs later this month. For now, Kelce and Swift have elevated their relationship, per PEOPLE, with life as quiet as it can get for one of the most popular celebrities in the world and her beloved sportsman partner. 'It's been a turning point for their relationship in a lot of ways,' PEOPLE reported. 'They're incredibly happy and in sync. There's a calmness and ease to their relationship right now that's been really grounding for Taylor and Travis.' 'Taylor and Travis are soaking up every minute of this slower season together. They've been splitting their time between New York, Nashville, and a few quiet getaways, just enjoying each other's company without all the usual chaos. This kind of downtime is rare for both of them, and it's really allowed their bond to deepen.' It has not been completely quiet for Kelce and Swift over the last few months, attending an event together for the first time as a couple several days ago. At the Tight End University event, Swift and Kelce were clearly locked in on each other, including sharing some PDA in front of cameras. Swift also regained control of her masters last month, a move to gain further control of her career, which has been years coming. 'Reclaiming her masters has been emotional and empowering,' PEOPLE reported. 'She's proud, relieved, and finally feels like a chapter has closed in the best possible way.' 'Having Travis by her side for that milestone made it even more special. He was honored to support her and he wouldn't have wanted it any other way.' Swift has attended 23 NFL games since she started dating Kelce, all while having touring commitments. That number should skyrocket as Kelce's time in the NFL may be dwindling with the 'Anti-Hero' singer on his arm. 'Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season,' PEOPLE stated. 'Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she's not juggling a packed tour schedule.' 'This fall will be completely different. It's the first season where she's not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar.' 'The past two seasons were a whirlwind between performing across multiple countries, long flights, and trying to squeeze in alone time together wherever possible. It wasn't easy but they made it work.' Last season, outside of the Super Bowl, Swift only attended Kelce's games in Kansas City. With more free time on her hands, and only seven chances to watch Kelce play not in Missouri, but in the United States, that may change as this 'turning point' has occurred.
