Travis Kelce has been making his $6million Kansas City mansion into a home for Taylor Swift ahead of the upcoming NFL season – even upgrading his kitchen for her.
Swift is currently in Europe, rounding off four months of Eras Tour dates with shows in Austria and London before returning to the United States – where Kelce is in camp with his Chiefs team.
The NFL season starts on September 5 with the Chiefs hosting Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium in a blockbuster curtain-raiser where Swift’s attendance is anticipated given that her touring calendar clear.
And according to a report in Life and Style on Wednesday, the singer is set to make Kansas City a home base while Kelce and the Chiefs compete for their third straight Super Bowl.
A source was quoted as saying: ‘She’s had the time of her life performing all over the world but is looking forward to just nesting during her tour’s two-month hiatus.
‘She can’t wait to root Travis on at Kansas City Chiefs home games and really focus on him without having one foot out the door.
‘He has done what he can to make his house feel like home to her — even upgrading the kitchen because she loves to cook for him and their friends.
‘Friends say this downtime is exactly what Taylor needs and won’t be surprised if it leads up to a wedding.’
Kelce bought the mansion last year, weeks after his relationship with Swift went pubic amid suggestions he wanted more privacy as his profile grew. The property, in a gated community in Kansas City, has a waterfall, swimming pool and mini golf course.
And he has spoken about enjoying cooking with her before.
‘Taylor makes a great pop-tart and cinnamon roll,’ Kelce said at a press conference earlier this year. And in a promotional video for her recent Tortured Poets Department record, Kelce appeared in a video of Swift recording herself cooking.
Kelce attended multiple Eras Tour shows during his offseason and even made a surprise appearance as a backing dancer during on Swift performance at Wembley.
And Swift made plenty of time to cheers Kelce on to Super Bowl glory last season, attending 13 Chiefs game including the showpiece game in Vegas – where she raced back from Tokyo after performing in Japan.
Her first game, last September against Chicago Bears at Arrowhead, confirmed the weeks of speculation that the two had started dating when she appeared in Kelce’s VIP suite alongside his mom, Donna.
Recently, Kelce’s suite was subject of intense online speculation from Swift’s avid fanbase due to a picture that emerged from a fan who went on a tour of Arrowhead.
It appears Kelce has placed a picture of Swift performing on her Eras Tour in his suite ahead of the upcoming season – and it sent fans into meltdown.
The fan captioned the picture of the suite: ‘This is where Taylor gets to sit!!! Also the fact there is an eras tour poster in this is so funny to me.’
‘I’m sorry but these two are married. They’ll never announce it and they totally don’t have to. She’ll tell us in TS12 probably but this is some married people s***,’ one fan said on X.
Another wrote: ‘This is sooo END GAME.’ A different fan simply said: ‘King and Queen.’
