Despite her fame, Taylor Swift remained low-key and low-maintenance while attending a football game to support Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs. According to an insider, Swift was kind to everyone and had a fantastic time cheering alongside famous friends such as Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, and Sabrina Carpenter. This was not the first time Swift had watched Kelce play, as she has been enjoying various outings and taking a break from her extremely successful Eras Tour. In addition, she is currently in a new romantic relationship with the football star and making time for her close friends. A second source mentions that Swift is now able to do things she hasn't had time for lately, like going out with friends and staying out late.
Swift maintained a lower public profile while she was in a relationship with British actor Joe Alwyn, which ended in April. According to a third source, Swift has now decided to embrace her true self and live her life openly.
Despite speculation that Swift and Kelce's relationship is a publicity stunt, multiple sources confirm that the pop star's feelings for the Ohio native are genuine. They have spent time together on multiple occasions, with Kelce reportedly seen leaving Swift's apartment in New York City on Sunday morning. The third source reveals that they communicate daily and that Swift is enjoying getting to know Kelce. She appreciates that he is a normal, kind-hearted person who remains grounded despite his fame. Additionally, she finds him attractive and has high hopes for their future together.
A fourth source says the feelings are mutual: “Travis is completely smitten.”

Fans are just as captivated by the pair's blossoming romance. Following Swift and Kelce being photographed together leaving Arrowhead Stadium after his game on September 24, sales of Kelce's jerseys skyrocketed by nearly 400 percent. A week later, a staggering 27 million viewers tuned in to witness Swift passionately supporting Kelce as the Chiefs faced off against the Jets — resulting in the most-watched Sunday program since the Super Bowl aired in February.
Swift is also reaping the rewards. Reports suggest that her upcoming concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, is set to generate a whopping $100 million in its first weekend, providing a significant boost to movie theaters and the entertainment industry as a whole.
Despite her flourishing career, Swift remains devoted to her close friends, particularly Turner, who is currently going through a difficult divorce with Joe Jonas. It is worth mentioning that Swift had a past relationship with Jonas in 2008, famously ending with a 27-second phone call. Swift and Turner crossed paths when they both appeared on The Graham Norton Show in 2019.

A new source reveals that Swift felt compelled to offer support when she learned about Turner and Jonas' separation in early September. In a show of solidarity, Swift has generously provided Turner with one of her NYC apartments. (Turner and Jonas are currently discussing a custody agreement for their two young daughters and have agreed to keep them in New York.) The source further explains that Swift is allowing Sophie to stay in the apartment for as long as she needs and is providing her with unwavering support.

Swift is now in a position where she is taking control of her own choices. The second source says, "Taylor has reached a point in her life where she no longer holds back. If something feels right, like it does with Travis, she fully embraces it. She is extremely content and enjoying life at the moment."
Her much-awaited concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, is set to release in theaters on October 13. According to the source, she is excited about spending quality time with her family in Nashville and later enjoying the holiday season with her loved ones. Additionally, she plans to support Kelce by attending as many of his games as possible.

"Taylor naturally follows her heart and doesn't consider the repercussions or public perception of supporting him," reveals a source. "She is simply doing what she desires, and it feels refreshing to everyone involved."
