Taylor Swift is hitting pause on her life plans. The Grammy winner is reported to have meticulously “planned” her future. But because the 2024-25 NFL season ended in defeat for her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs, getting started on that future has to wait.
Things aren’t going as planned for Swift and Kelce. As an insider told Radar Online, she expected the NFL to be in the rearview mirror. That way, they could focus on getting married and starting a family.
“The idea was Travis would win the Super Bowl and go out in a blaze of glory. So they’d have more time to be together and could plan a wedding and a baby,” the source said. “Fans want them to start a family the sooner the better.”
But that didn’t happen. The Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl. After much speculation about retiring, Kelce revealed in a text read aloud on The Pat McAfee Show that he’s not done. He said he intends to get in the “best shape” in the hopes of winning his fourth Super Bowl.
Although “it’s understandable he doesn’t want to go out with a loss,” Kelce’s football career means the timeline for him and Swift has shifted. “Taylor has her future planned out to a tee,” the insider said, noting speculation she wouldn’t want to get pregnant while Kelce’s still playing football.
“He’ll be so busy training. And then when football season kicks off, he’ll be focused on the game and winning,” they said. Once Swift is pregnant, the source added, “It seems likely she’d want Travis’ total undivided attention.”
“It wouldn’t be surprising if Taylor’s ego was bruised that he chose his career over her,” they added. Although Swift did, according to a previous report, encourage her boyfriend of nearly two years to retire “on a high note.” Meanwhile, any comparisons to Tom Brady’s retirement and subsequent divorce two laugh off, calling it “apples to oranges.”
Travis and Taylor are currently ‘laying low’
Since the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss, Swift and Kelce have primarily been “laying low” at the NFL star’s home. “Taylor and Travis are taking it easy right now,” a source told Us Weekly. “They’ve been laying low in Kansas City.”
Although it isn’t all staying close to home for Swift and Kelce. The off-season has also included jetting off on vacation multiple times. The pair reportedly traveled for a month. They were spotted in Park City, Utah, followed by New York, where she has an $18 million home. “They’ve been traveling, spending precious time together, and letting the rest of the world go for a bit,” a second insider said. While Kelce’s dad has called the off-season a “very good period” for the two, it’s also been described as a chance for them to overcome the “huge hurdle” of losing the Super Bowl.
Sure, Swift’s plans are on hold. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t looking forward to Kelce’s upcoming season. The insider shared that the “Fortnight” singer intends to be there on game day, cheering Kelce on while she sits in the stands with his family and other Chiefs players’ wives and girlfriends (WAGS).
“She’s looking forward to being the best WAG that ever was!” the insider said of Swift. This is nothing new for the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” singer. During the 2024-25 season, Swift attended many of Kelce’s games, becoming a fixture at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., much like the previous season.
