The superstar pair had kept a very low profile until last week, splitting their time between the popstar’s $50m Manhattan penthouse and the NFL icon’s $20m rental in Boca Raton, Florida.

They burst back into public consciousness with a headline-making, PDA-packed appearance on Travis’ New Heights podcast, though, and it now appears they’re ready for an exciting new chapter in their lives. ‘This time together solidified Taylor knowing that she wants to be with Travis forever,’ a source told US Weekly.

‘They want to be married and have kids in the future. They’re both genuinely ready for that chapter.’

According to the reports, the much-needed quality time between the pair has proven that they have what it takes to go all the way – and that was shown in Kelce’s public fawning over his girlfriend on the podcast.

The superstar pair burst back in the public eye on Travis’ New Heights podcast last week 

The episode of New Heights, in which Swift revealed details of her new album ‘The Life of a Showgirl’, quite literally broke the internet, with the stream breaking with 1.3million fans tuned in.

In the same 24 hours, Kelce was featured in a wide-ranging GQ cover shoot and interview, in which he waxed lyrical about Swift and opened up on their relationship in a way he never had before.

‘Taylor and Travis have settled into a real rhythm as a couple, and the more time they spend together, the more they realize how aligned they are,’ the source continued to US Weekly.

‘During this downtime, they really noticed all the little things they have in common. They feel like they’ve found their person.’Both of their lives are set to be thrust back into the public eye in the coming weeks, with Kelce’s NFL season set to get underway – and Swift expected to once again follow him around the country to take in his games.

The Kansas City Chiefs start their season in Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers at the start of September.

On New Heights last week, Swift briefly broke down in tears as she opened up on her long battle to reclaim her masters, while also lifting the lid on her whirlwind romance with Kelce, her father’s recent heart surgery and her epic Eras Tour.

Kelce quickly went viral after showering his girlfriend in compliments and affection. ‘I’m the luckiest man in the world,’ he said repeatedly. The couple finished the episode with a kiss, after he was also seen holding and stroking Swift’s hand and even kissing her head at one point during the show.

‘I give the Eras Tour credit (for our relationship) because if I had never gone to that show and been mesmerized and captivated and left with such a desire to want to meet you, I would never have gone on here and told everyone how butt-hurt I was,’ Kelce said. ‘I have never been just so engulfed in the curiosity of who you were.’

Kelce also opened up on their first meeting, telling the 1million-plus fans watching: ‘She makes me so much better… (to) see you on the stage and you see how crazy you can get an entire stadium going and then I get you in a room and it’s like I’ve known you forever.

‘It was the easiest conversation I ever had and it was just so much fun that it just knocked my socks off. She blew me away and I had never experienced something so mesmerizing on stage and then so real and so beautiful in person.’

Swift also joked that Travis used New Heights as a dating app when he publicly revealed how he had tried and failed to give Swift his phone number after watching her perform at Arrowhead Stadium back in 2023. His confession eventually sparked the start of their relationship.
