TRAVIS Kelce and Taylor Swift have enjoyed an incredible summer of love – but all good things must come to an end.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and his pop star girlfriend had the time of their lives in glamorous cities such as Paris, London, Amsterdam and Dublin in recent months.
But the magical mystery tour of Europe is now over with Swift now back on United States soil and the NFL season about to begin.
With Kelce preparing for his quest for a Super Bowl three-peat, the couple managed to end the summer on a high with a romantic reunion at Swift’s $17.75 million vacation home in Rhode Island.
The couple were seen kicking back with some A-list friends at her ocean-front mansion.
The 12,000-square-foot property was flooded with celebrities during Swift’s party, with names like Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, Zoey Kravitz, and Channing Tatum all in attendance.
Some of Kelce’s football friends and family were in the crowd as well, with his brother Jason and quarterback Patrick Mahomes both being spotted.
The past few weeks have been extremely emotional for the A-list couple, who now find it extremely hard to be apart.
Kelce’s trip to Germany in July was particularly emotional for the couple as it was the last time they spent together before the Rhode Island reunion.
“Travis’ last few concerts were bittersweet,” an insider told People.
“They knew their time together like this was coming to an end and he made sure to spend every minute he could with Taylor.”
Due to their demanding schedules, the couple take any opportunity they can to spend together – no matter how brief it is.
“It’s definitely tough to be apart but they do everything they can to make it work and show up for each other,” the source added.
“They’re so in love and very, very happy together.
“All their friends and family can see it.”
The NFL star’s European adventure began in Paris in May, where Swift was seen blowing a kiss to Kelce on stage.
The singer performed a spin in an all-white gown before sending a kiss toward the NFL star.
‘A great escape’
Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid thinks Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift is “a great escape
Kelce and Swift have been constant presences at each other’s events, and Reid shared that he thinks they enjoy getting out of the spotlight.
“He can handle it. I think there’s a great escape for him,” Reid told the Athletic.
“I said that about Taylor too. I mean, she comes to the game, she can kind of escape having to be the show.
“And when he goes to her concerts, she’s the star and he can be hanging out there and be the support or the waterboy.”
Kelce was seen dancing with Cooper and Hadid during the singer’s performances.
The NFL star also treated Swift to a series of luxurious gifts while she was in the French capital, including flowers and macarons.
After the 14-time Grammy winner finished up four blockbuster performances in Paris, the couple were spotted enjoying a candlelit dinner in Lake Como in Italy.
The pair had a romantic break at the Villa Sola Cabiati.
They also stayed at a private suite at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, which costs around $22,000 a night.
Kelce and Swift were holding onto each other during their stroll, even sharing a kiss at one point.
After some time apart, Kelce made the trip to London in late June to watch Swift – and shocked fans by performing on stage at Wembley Stadium.
During the third night of her Wembley gigs, Kelce carried Taylor on stage to introduce her song “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.”
Usually, two dancers carry her into a giant heart-shaped box for the number.
But this time, Travis joined in as Taylor was carried in his arms and gently placed into the giant set piece for the intro.
Travis committed to the appearance by wearing a top hat and tuxedo, while Taylor wore a white gown.
The audience erupted as he made his grand entrance with his love in his arms.
Taylor burst into a big outfit reveal with a white two-piece top that matched his tuxedo.
Kelce attended all three of Swift’s London shows, and he was seen chatting and laughing with Hollywood actor Tom Cruise from the VIP suite.
The NFL star was also spotted hanging out with Fox Sports stars Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson.
Andrews and Thompson attended the concert in the VIP section with their partners – former two-time Stanley Cup champion Jarret Stoll and entrepreneur Steven Cundari, respectively.
Kelce then surprised Swift by jetting into Ireland for her show in Dublin.
The pop princess believes they spotted the exact moment Swift saw her boyfriend in the audience during her performance at the Aviva Stadium.
The 34-year-old hadn’t been expected to be in attendance for the gig in Ireland.
But Swift was stunned as she appeared to spot the burly NFL player mingling among the 50,000-strong crowd.
The singer’s face lit up as she spotted Kelce hanging out in the VIP tent mid-song, seemingly gasping as she saw her boyfriend had made the 5,000-mile trip.
Videos taken by concertgoers showed Kelce arriving midway through Swift’s performance.
He was flanked by security as he made his way through the crowd while the singer gave a rendition of her 2020 hit song August.
“Her entire body language changed. This is the cutest thing ever and I’m so glad we got to see it!” wrote one fan in response to the viral video.
Kelce was also joined by former Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks and Hollywood royalty Julia Roberts in the VIP area.
In Dublin, Kelce and Swift were later seen drinking at the Hacienda Bar with Nicks and Paramore.
Kelce then traveled to Amsterdam to see Swift perform at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
One video caught the moment Kelce greeted Swift backstage after another showstopping performance.
The NFL star put his arm round her and seemingly gave the musician a kiss on the top of the head.
They left the arena hand in hand as Kelce tried to drum up more noise from the crowd.
Meanwhile, comedian Nikki Glaser was freaked out by witnessing Kelce running backstage at one concert in Amsterdam.
“We’re on our way out early and we just spotted Travis sprinting through the halls to get backstage,” Glaser said in a TikTok video.
“I’ve met him before [but] I didn’t have time to say anything but, ‘We love you, Travis.’ And we do.”
Kelce’s trip to Gelsenkirchen in late July was the last time he saw Swift for several weeks after returning to mandatory training.
It was a difficult time for the couple after Swift’s Vienna concerts were canceled due to terror threats.
According to a person close to Kelce’s entourage, he was on the phone with the pop superstar as the situation unfolded to comfort her.
“Travis contacted Taylor very fast and talked with her for a while to show support and see how she was feeling with that tense situation,” the source told The U.S. Sun.
“You can tell that he was helping her feel better and made her laugh, to make this situation and the day she went through end up on a more fun note.
“He always wants to make her laugh, and he loves to hear her laugh and feel good. After a day that intense and this scary situation, he was doing everything to make her feel better.”
Despite being in the heat of training camp, he was ready to drop it all to comfort Swift through the scary situation.
“He even suggested flying to Austria to be there for her if she wanted him to do so, even if it was for a day or two,” the source said.
To comfort Swift, the NFL star sent her a luxury gift package, including flowers and chocolates.
He then sent even more gifts to celebrate the end of her Europe Eras Tour, including 51 boxes of red roses.
The number signified her scheduled number of shows on the road.
The Rhode Island reunion was brief – Kelce was seen leaving in the early hours of Monday to return to Kansas City.
But according to a well-placed source, Swift and Kelce are now looking to host friends and family more often after the successful beach party in Rhode Island.
“They love to spend time all together and wanted a family time together after those long month abroad,” the source told The U.S. Sun.
“He told me that they want to make this a habit, every time they have some time off to spend family time together at Taylor or Pat Mahomes places that they own all over the country.
“He said that it’s their ‘little bubble of comfort and relaxation in family,’ and that they value it a lot, as the Mahomes and Kelces and Swift love each other and hanging out all together.”
Swift is now expected to travel around the country to watch Kelce in action for the Chiefs – when her schedule allows.
