Taylor Swift Embraces a Calmer Fall with Travis Kelce: “This Season Will Be Completely Different”

With her record-breaking Eras Tour behind her, Swift looks forward to supporting Kelce’s NFL season without the pressures of global travel — marking a new chapter for the power couple.

For the first time since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce began dating in 2023, the global pop icon is preparing to experience a football season without the weight of a world tour on her shoulders — and she couldn’t be more thrilled.

“Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season,” a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE exclusively. “Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she’s not juggling a packed tour schedule.”

The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, 35, wrapped her history-making Eras Tour in Vancouver, British Columbia, in December 2024. The globe-spanning concert series — which began in March 2023 in Glendale, Arizona — grossed over $2 billion and cemented its place as the highest-grossing tour of all time. But it also demanded constant travel across five continents and an intense performance schedule that often clashed with personal priorities.

“The past two seasons were a whirlwind,” the source continues. “Between performing across multiple countries, long flights, and trying to squeeze in alone time together wherever possible — it wasn’t easy, but they made it work.”

Now, with the curtain closed on the Eras Tour, Swift is embracing a new rhythm. Her fall calendar is wide open, and she’s eager to spend more time cheering for Kelce from the stands.

“Her schedule is much more open now that the tour is wrapped, and she’s genuinely excited to have the time and flexibility to show up for Travis more consistently,” the insider reveals.

Indeed, over the past two NFL seasons, Swift made headlines as a devoted spectator, appearing at Kansas City Chiefs games alongside Kelce’s family and friends. Whether sharing a suite with Donna Kelce or turning game day into a star-studded event, Swift’s presence added undeniable sparkle to the sidelines. But behind the scenes, coordinating appearances amid global travel and back-to-back shows required careful planning.

“This fall will be completely different,” the insider shares. “It’s a chance for them to settle into more of a routine and they’re both really happy about that.”

With the 2025 NFL season approaching, Swift plans to attend “as many of his games as possible,” marking a new chapter of consistency and calm for the couple. After years of intense public scrutiny and scheduling demands, both stars are savoring a rare moment of stillness.

Now, as Kelce gears up for another standout season with the Chiefs, and Swift embraces a much-needed pause, they’re rediscovering life off the stage and field — grounded, present, and finally, in sync.
