Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce enjoy ‘off season' in rare loved-up personal photos
As Taylor Swift mania hit fever pitch last year, it felt like the pop megastar was everywhere.
So much so, media outlets were hiring stand-alone 'Taylor Swift' reporters to keep up with her movements and the public's appetite.
But after her blockbuster Eras Tour wrapped in December, the US singer well and truly entered her quiet 'era' for some much-earned down time, only emerging for the occasional public outing.
Now, her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce has delighted fans with a flurry of personal photos showing what the couple have been up to over the past few months.
Taking to Instagram to highlight his 'adventures this off-season', Kelce and Swift, both 35, appear to have been savouring some time together with friends.
In some of the photos, the couple could be seen rugged up in winter gear as they enjoyed a holiday in the snow.
Travis Kelce treated fans to a flurry of rare photos of his life with pop megastar Taylor Swift.
Couple goals.
The wholesome photos show Kelce and Swift have savoured some quality time.
Elsewhere, in a warmer climate, Swift and Kelce cozied up alongside friends over glasses of wine in the mountains.
Not a lot going on at the moment.
Another wholesome group photo showed the pair enjoying a balmy evening in what appeared to be a light-filled rocky cave.
This looks idyllic.
The pair, who began dating in the summer of 2023, could also be seen goofing around over dinner.
Page Six reported back in February the couple embarked on a secret, international holiday together shortly after Kelce's Super Bowl loss.
The couple have been having dinner dates and snow holidays.
Despite her low-profile of late, Swift did return to social media in May with some huge news for fans, revealing she'd finally bought back her masters after a six-year saga.
'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slide show,' she began her letter, which is on her official website.
'A flashback sequence of all the time I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through.
'I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that's all in the past now. I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found that this is really happening. I really get to say those words.
'All of the music I've ever made … now belong … to me.'

The announcement came after Swift had spent the past few years re-recording her albums, which she titled 'Taylor's Version', in a bid to dilute the original works that were infamously bought by Scooter Braun for $US330 million in 2019.
Braun's company, Ithaca Holdings, bought Big Machine Label Group, the record label that owned the rights to Swift's first six albums. Braun later sold Swift's master recordings to investment firm Shamrock Capital in November 2020 for a reported $US400 million.
In her recent statement celebrating her long-awaited victory to own her masters, Swift revealed one of the only 'Taylor's Version' albums she was yet to release, 2017's Reputation, may never eventuate.
'Full transparency: I haven't even re-recorded a quarter of it,' she confessed.
'To be perfectly honest, it's the only album in those first 6 that I thought couldn't be improved upon by redoing it […] so I kept putting it off.'
However, she promised that fans would get to listen to the unreleased vault tracks when the time was right.
Elsewhere in the statement, Swift confirmed she had re-recorded her entire debut album, titled Taylor Swift, though stopped short of revealing a release date.

I took a coach tour of Tasmania, now I see why it's a growing trend
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. With another's hand on the wheel and your itinerary mapped out, a fully guided coach tour can be the epitome of worry-free travelling. It's already decided, to a large degree, where you will step off, what you'll see, where you will rest your head and who you will meet. In 2023, almost 50,000 people visited Tasmania on an organised coach tour, an increase of 34 per cent on 2019, so it clearly has its attractions. It may sound regimented, but the reality is the best coach tours take the focus away from the tedium of planning and the hassle of driving, freeing you to focus on the destination itself. On a five-day AAT Kings tour of Tasmania's east coast, I discover more about Tasmania and its people than on any other of my numerous visits to the island. On the coach They are the glamour vehicles on our roads – those large sleek coaches with panoramic tinted windows, reclining seats, wi-fi, on-board washrooms and USB charging stations. Inside, these luxury coaches are as comfortable as they look. Best of all, their height gives you an elevated view of the scenery. Coach touring also makes economic sense. Car hire can be expensive and the island state deceptive for the first-time visitor. The distance between destinations may be short but the roads, in part, can be narrow and winding and there are several occasions on this trip from Launceston to St Helens to Bicheno, Port Arthur and finally, Hobart, that I am glad not to be driving. Coach tours are also kinder to the planet. A typical coach tour produces 87 per cent less emissions than if passengers travel the same distance by car. AAT Kings driver Tom knows Tasmania's roads like the back of his hand. Picture: Sue Preston Choosing the right tour It's important to put some thought into selecting the tour that's right for you. AAT Kings' tours of Tasmania offer First Choice tours with accommodation in premium hotels, lodges and eco-resorts, more two-night stays with later starts, most meals with wine included and exclusive Be My Guest Experiences. Alternatively, Best Buys tours provide centrally located, comfortable accommodation, and don't have as many inclusions. These tours, which always include breakfast and some other meals, will suit those who enjoy more flexibility and free time. On this tour we are in modern well-equipped hotels such as the Best Western in Launceston and the Mövenpick Hotel in Hobart, as well as an attractive seaside hotel, Beachfront, in Bicheno, and Iron Creek Bay, a working farm with alpacas and other animals in Sorell. Feeding the alpacas at Iron Creek Bay Farm. Picture: Sue Preston What we see My fellow travellers, aged from their 20s to their 70s, are charmed by a stroll to Cape Tourville Lighthouse overlooking the majestic Freycinet National Park, the chance to explore the historic town of Richmond and a tour of the Port Arthur convict settlement. We visit Bridestowe Lavender Estate, the world's largest privately owned lavender farm, which attracts tens of thousands of visitors during the annual blooming season in December and January. While the fields produce perfume-grade lavender oil it's a lavender-stuffed heat pack purple bear called Bobbie we find in the gift shop that has brought Bridestowe international fame. Chinese model and actor Zhang Xinyu triggered a craze when she posted a photo of herself with the bear on social media. Bears flew off the shelf as Chinese tourists demanded their own Bobbie. Bridestowe Lavender Estate, at Nabowla. Picture: Jamie Douros & Camille Helm/Tourism Tasmania In the heart of the picture-book historic town of Richmond, with its beautiful 1820s Georgian buildings, we find a museum dedicated entirely to poo. Before you poo-poo the idea, Pooseum is an altogether fascinating science museum focused on everything you can learn about animals from their droppings. Our last day on the road is at the Port Arthur Historic Site, home to most of the 75,000 convicts sent to Tasmania, or Van Diemen's Land as it was then known. Upon entry you can pick up a playing card, part of the so-called Lottery of Life. By matching your card to a drawer in the Port Arthur Gallery, you find a name for your convict, his criminal history, an account of his prison life and his eventual fate. Paupers' Depot at Port Arthur historic site. Your travel director On any organised coach tour it is the travel director who is the star of the show and who really enriches your experience. He/she is the pin that holds everything together, from everyday logistics to keeping everyone happy, well-fed and well-informed. Our seasoned travel director, Carolyn Tipper, is a born storyteller. She regales us with interesting anecdotes about even the most unassuming of towns – along with the best place to buy a curried scallop pie in Tasmania (hint – it's in Richmond) and the best things to see and do when the coach sets you down in the next town for an hour or so of free time. Richmond is known for its picturesque bridge - and scallop pies. Picture: Tourism Tasmania The places you go All the places we visit and the experiences we enjoy on this tour are hand-picked after considerable research and personal visits. And itineraries constantly evolve, so cultivating local friendships is important to AAT Kings, along with supporting local suppliers and operators. 'These are people who are very precious to us and we want to support their businesses,' Tipper says. Chief executive Ben Hall admits to going 'undercover' recently, taking his two young daughters with him on an AAT Kings coach tour to get a deeper understanding from the guests' perspective. 'For me, it really showed the importance of refining our approach and finding new ways to enhance the guest experience.' The writer was a guest of AAT Kings , which has a number of Tasmanian guided holidays. The five-day East Coast Highlights tour starts at $2385 per person twin share. Other tours range from seven to 13 days. Originally published as I took a coach tour of Tasmania, now I see why it's a growing trend

Scott Cam announces brutal new rule for this season's Block contestants
Don't miss out on the headlines from Reality. Followed categories will be added to My News. Scott Cam has implemented a strict new rule change for this year's season of The Block – and it might make for a slightly less comfortable experience for contestants. Usually, contestants would 'rough it' for the first few days of a season, living out of the tent as they built the first room of the house, typically a bedroom. It meant that from the end of week one, they could pack up the tent and have a roof over their heads – and have the rest of the house to live in and use as it was built, week by week. Scott Cam delivers the news. But Cam told contestants this year that he was implementing a strict new rule: 'No overnighters.' The five teams would not be able to spend the night inside their houses at all during the season. Instead, they've been given luxury caravans to call home for the entire season. During Sunday's premiere, all seemed in good spirits at the news they'd be sleeping in them for the next three months, during the testing conditions of a rural Victorian winter (with all that caravan living entails – including emptying of toilet waste). The caravans are lush – but it's a bit of a downgrade from previous seasons, living in the giant house you're renovating. This year's contestants are a diverse bunch, among them two married Northern Territory police officers, a lesbian couple (who, in a slightly awkward first meeting, are initially mistaken for twins by their fellow contestants) a gay and straight best mate, and a champion pole dancer. There is another big change expected this season: The Block's mega-buyer, billionaire Adrian Portelli, should be nowhere to be seen come auction day. In an extravagant move, Portelli bought all five Block houses at last season's auctions – but later struggled to offload them. He insisted the mega-buyout was to be his Block swan song and, as Cam confessed in a recent interview, the feeling was mutual. 'To be honest we said to Adrian 'We'd love you not to come next year, if that's all right,'' Cam revealed on Nova 96.9's Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie last week. Couple (not twins sisters, as some contestants assumed) Han and Cam. Block megabuyer Adrian Portelli is expected to be absent come auction day. Picture: NewsWire/ David Crosling '[Portelli] said, 'Yeah, okay, he won't come', but he may come. We don't know, but we do want to give mums and dads the opportunity to have a crack at a block house … but if Adrian comes and wants to buy the lot of them, well, that rules them out.' Cam said he hoped to see 'families have a bit of a crack this year,' after recent years have seen the show's finales turn into bidding wars between Portelli and fellow mega-rich investor Danny Wallis. But it seems Portelli's not taking the soft-ban lying down: He's switched allegiances to The Block's competitor show on Seven, My Reno Rules. Portelli's rewards club company LMCT+ will be the major sponsor of the show's new season, and he's even donated two homes that will be flipped by contestants during the show.

Derek Hough, from Dancing With The Stars, expecting first child
Bindi Irwin's Dancing With The Stars partner has announced he is expecting his first child. Professional dancer Derek Hough, 40, announced earlier this week that his wife Hayley Erbert Hough was pregnant in a video on Instagram. 'We can't believe the biggest thing to happen to us could be so small,' the caption read. In another post showing the couple holding ultrasound pictures, Derek said: 'Already so loved'. Hough won Dancing With The Stars alongside celebrity partner Bindi Irwin in 2015. Irwin congratulated the pair on their exciting news. 'Congratulations!!!!! Hugs from our entire family,' she said. Following in his sister's footsteps, Robert Irwin announced in April that he would also be putting on his dancing shoes and joining the show. 'Bindi, thank you for inspiring me to take on this next adventure. Dancing With The Stars, I'm so grateful for the life-changing experience ahead,' he said at the time. Hough was on Dancing With The Stars from 2007 to 2016, winning the show six times with his partners. His sister is actor and dancer Julianne Hough, who also appeared on the TV show for five seasons.
