Travis Kelce ‘Loves’ Taylor Swift’s Bond with His Family: ‘It Means Everything

Taylor Swift is basically an honorary member of the Kelce family. No, it’s not official yet. She and Travis Kelce aren’t on their way to the altar despite the expectation from friends they’ll get engaged soon. But the Kansas City Chiefs tight end reportedly “loves” how the Grammy winner gets along with his family.

The Kelce family has ‘fully embraced’ Taylor Swift

Taylor and Travis have family stamps of approval. “Both of their families love them as a couple,” a source told Us Weekly. “And Taylor has become even more close with Travis’ mom,” Donna Kelce. Many times the two have been spotted in the stands at Chiefs games watching Travis play.

But it’s not just Mama Kelce the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” singer grown close to—it’s all of NFL player’s immediate family. “Taylor has really been integrated into the family,” the insider continued. “They have fully embraced her. It’s a whole new world and chapter for her.”

That includes not only Donna but Travis’s dad, Ed Kelce, as well as his brother, retired Philadelphia Eagles player, Jason Kelce, and his wife, Kylie Kelce. Plus, their three daughters: Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett.

Travis ‘loves’ how Taylor gets along with his family

Seeing Taylor fit in with his family is something Travis “loves,” a separate source told the outlet in January 2024. “Everybody knows how close Travis is with his family,” they said. “So it really means everything to him how seamlessly Taylor blends in with all of them.”

Despite their relationship being relatively new—Travis and Taylor started dating in the summer of 2023 after a shoutout on the “New Heights” podcast—Taylor gets along with everyone in the Kelce family “seamlessly.”

“His family is all about just hanging out, joking, and having a great time,” the insider said, noting the Kelces are comfortable around the “Fortnight” singer. “It’s almost like she’s known his family forever, and he loves that about her.”

According to People, Kelce and Swift spent Thanksgiving together in Nashville, Tennessee. A source confirmed to the outlet that they celebrated together with their families. Taylor and her parents, Scott and Andrea, hosted the Kelce family before Travis left for the Chiefs game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 29, 2024.

“Taylor and Travis had a great Thanksgiving together with their families,” the insider said, noting the Grammy winner spent the holiday in South America last year. “It’s the first Thanksgiving they celebrated together.”

“Taylor and her family were excited to host the Kelces this year,” they added. “[Travis’ brother] Jason was there with his family and kids too. It was very festive and special.” After Thanksgiving, Swift went to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, to cheer Travis on alongside his mom, Donna. (Mama Kelce and the “Down Bad” singer were seen arriving together.)

In the days ahead of Thanksgiving, Donna told Today that Swift probably wouldn’t spend the holiday with her and the rest of the Kelce family. “I don’t think so. She’s kind of busy right now. She still has her tour to do,” she said about The Eras Tour, which ends on Dec. 8, 2024, after three shows in Vancouver, Canada.

New Report Reveals Travis Kelce Is Feeling “A Lot Of Pressure” Ahead Of His Second Christmas With Taylor Swift

 

Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce has always performed well under pressure on the football field, but he’s reportedly struggling with the stress of a significant personal life decision.
Travis Kelce has been in a well-documented relationship with Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift for over a year. For several months now, fans and media outlets have speculated on Kelce potentially popping the question soon.

According to a report from RadarOnline, Kelce is feeling the “pressure” of picking out the right engagement ring (reportedly in the $12 million range) for his girlfriend and is stressed about perfecting the proposal.

Here’s what a source told the outlet:

“Travis doesn’t want to fumble this one. He’s been putting a lot of pressure on himself to make every detail of this proposal perfect, especially the ring.”

“The rule is the ring should be worth a good three months’ salary, so he’s looking to spend some $12 million on it. No one’s going to be able to call him cheap…The actual proposal is also stressing him out. He’s not the type to do things halfway, so he’s been brainstorming the perfect location – and it all has to be a big surprise.”

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift first went public about their relationship early in the 2023 season. The beloved singer essentially confirmed their romance when she attended the Chiefs-Chicago Bears Week 3 contest at Arrowhead Stadium.
Swift attended 13 Chiefs games last season, including their three AFC postseason victories and the Super Bowl 58 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas, Nevada. She wraps up her “Eras” tour in Vancouver, British Columbia on Sunday night.

Kelce’s Chiefs sit atop the AFC with an 11-1 record. They’ll host the AFC West rival Los Angeles Chargers on “Sunday Night Football” tomorrow.

Travis Kelce & Chiefs Are Pushing For A Three-Peat

The 35-year-old Kelce isn’t playing up to his usual standards, with only 75 receptions for 637 yards and two touchdowns thus far. But keep in mind that Kelce had an up-and-down 2023 regular season, only to return to vintage form in the postseason (32 catches for 355 yards and three touchdowns in four games).

No team in NFL history has won three straight Super Bowls, and only three clubs have made it to the big game three years in a row (the 1971-73 Miami Dolphins, 1990-93 Buffalo Bills and 2016-18 New England Patriots).

The Chiefs are among the favorites to win it all again this season. We’ll see in the coming weeks how their three-peat bid plays out.
