Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's blossoming romance takes center stage this holiday season Discover their plans to celebrate as a couple amidst their deepening connection
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are gearing up for a magical holiday season together. The couple has been moving at lightning speed, with Kelce attending Swift's November 11 concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and both sides meeting each other's families. Sources now reveal to Us that they have grand plans to spend Christmas and the New Year holiday together.
"Travis has already started Christmas shopping and has some truly special surprises in store for Taylor," a source shares. "Their connection is incredibly strong, and they can't wait to celebrate together."
Despite the busy time of year, Swift, 33, and Kelce, 34, are making sure to coordinate their schedules to spend time together as the Grammy winner embarks on her Eras Tour and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end wraps up the NFL season. "They have meticulously planned their upcoming schedules as she tours and he plays games," adds a second source. "Taylor and Travis have their next few months laid out. They are making an effort to minimize time spent apart, wanting to be as much like a regular couple as possible as they kick off their relationship."
Swift's $2.5 million 5,600-square-foot home in Tennessee will likely be the next stop for the couple. A source revealed, "Travis hasn't visited Taylor's Nashville place yet, so he's really looking forward to it." Additionally, Kelce and Swift are planning to visit each other's families before embarking on a private and romantic getaway. The source shared, "They cherish spending time with their families and friends, but right now, they prioritize alone time."

The couple's relationship has progressed quickly and their bond is easily visible to both fans and friends. According to a third source, "They're in love," and have recently started using the L-word. The first source also confirmed that things are "getting very serious" between the two, with Taylor seeing long-term potential with Travis.
Kelce's trip to watch Swift perform in Argentina, where he spent time with her father, Scott, further strengthened their connection. According to the third source, "Travis being there for Taylor’s show brought them even closer," and Kelce "loved meeting Taylor’s dad; they had a great conversation." After Swift attended multiple Chiefs games, Kelce was pleased to reciprocate and support his girlfriend just as she has supported him. He also plans to accompany her to future concert dates. "Travis wants to do all he can to be with her," the source added, "and Taylor’s excited for him to see what she does and how crazy it is."
The decision to introduce their families was an obvious one for Taylor and Travis, who have spent time with each other's parents and have a close relationship with their own. They were hoping for a seamless blending of their families, with plans for a potential meetup at a November 20 NFL game. However, Swift had to reschedule a concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, due to safety concerns after a fan passed away from cardiac arrest due to the excessive heat wave.

"Taylor has been struggling to cope with her fan's death, and her team has reached out to Benevides' family," a fourth source reveals. She's grateful for the support of her boyfriend, Kelce, who has been a great source of comfort for her during this difficult time.
In addition, Swift has formed friendships with the partners of other Chiefs players, such as quarterback Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany, tight end Blake Bell's wife, Lyndsay, and recent backup QB Shane Buechele's wife, Paige. They recently joined Swift, along with her close friends Selena Gomez and Sophie Turner, for an outing in NYC on November 7. According to sources, Taylor is making an effort to bond with the wives and girlfriends of the Kansas City players and is looking forward to future get-togethers. She appreciates their ability to have fun and is enjoying the new friendships she has formed.
The buzz surrounding Swift and Kelce's romance is unprecedented and new for both of them. "With Taylor's ex Joe [Alwyn], she was very private," said the second source. "They never went out in public together. They only stayed at her Nashville compound or her Rhode Island house. With Travis, she feels more free and is able to share her full life, and she loves it."
The feeling is mutual. In Kelce's interview for the cover of WSJ. Magazine's December/January issue, he openly praises his girlfriend, calling Swift "hilarious" and "a genius," and raving about their shared values and priorities, including the importance of family and a strong work ethic.

Kelce's comfort with attention from fans and the public eye is attributed to his years of experience in the NFL. According to a fourth source, his ability to manage the pressure and attention comes from his time dealing with NFL fans, as well as his openness to handling it. Kelce's mother, Donna, has also voiced her support for her son's handling of attention and has noted that he enjoys it, as long as he can manage it. Additionally, she praised Taylor Swift as a "very nice person" during an appearance on Good Morning America on November 20.
