Is there a dark lining on the silver cloud that is dating one of the most talented, richest, most famous and beloved women in the world? You better believe it! And Travis Kelce found out the hard way!
Multiple sources spilled to Us Weekly for a big report this week. It seems while Trav and Taylor Swift are doing great, they’re also doing things a little different this year. See, they got a little too close to that most dangerous of all fates for the famous… overexposure!
One insider told the mag that after over a year in the spotlight:
“Taylor and Travis have learned that so much attention on their relationship is not the best thing.”
Travis especially! The source said he felt like he got caught up in the whirlwind of fame, using it to get job after job during the offseason. They were fun new opportunities, but they split his focus. Was he going to be a presenter with Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity? An actor in projects like Grotesquerie? That’s all in addition to the podcast, ads, public appearances, following around Tay on tour… Somewhere in there something was getting lost… being a Hall of Famer tight end!

For a long time he didn’t really face the consequences. The Kansas City Chiefs kept getting away with not playing their best, sneaking out wins over and over. But that disastrous Super Bowl was a real wakeup call. Trav knows he had a pretty poor season — for him at least, getting just 823 yards and 3 touchdowns in the regular season. Compare that to the year before he started dating Taylor… when he gained 1338 yards and scored 12 touchdowns! Again, his numbers aren’t objectively bad for a tight end… but for Travis Kelce?? He knows he could do better. And he has an idea of why.
So his plan this year? The source says he “wants to take [a breather] from the public eye”:
“He was working too much last year, and he didn’t play as well as he wanted. He wants to have a good season and not have the focus be on his relationship with Taylor.”
Sounds like he’s ready to really buckle down and focus for his last year in the NFL! We’ve heard as much from Andy Reid, too! The Chiefs head coach told The Athletic this week that Trav is already doing things differently than last off-season:
“I always like guys to step back (after the season), but he wants to come back and he’s training like crazy, too.”
Training “like crazy”? Nice!
So how does Taylor feel about him taking a step back from the whole fame machine? She isn’t just supporting him, she’s on board!
Another source explained they BOTH realized they “needed time for themselves” — which means you’re going to be seeing less of them for a bit:
“Taylor and Travis are doing great, and they’re still very much together and in love. They’re just taking a break from the public eye.”
A third insider even referred to their goal as more of a “normal life,” explaining how “just doing nothing at all has been a dream of theirs for a while”! Hey, that’s good work if you can get it! LOLz!
The second source said Taylor actually has her own reasons for wanting to be a little less in the spotlight for a bit — not wanting anything to do with her BFF Blake Lively‘s ongoing controversy!
“All the stuff going on with Blake is another reason Taylor and Travis want to keep to themselves. The last thing Taylor wants is to be dragged into a controversy when she’s trying to destress.”
Yeah, makes sense! But they’re not focusing on the scandals — that’s the whole point! As a fourth insider put it, they’re “making the most of their time off” and “fully living their best lives.”
Sounds good to us! And probably to Chiefs fans, too!
What do YOU think, Perezcious readers??
