\u201cI want a wild otter so bad,\u201d he chimed in \u2014 and that he indulges her interests by having sourdough bread bake-offs. \u201cWe\u2019ve set it up where he has a station and I have a station,\u201d Swift said, adding that Kelce triumphed. \u201cHis rose higher than mine. His is actually more delicious than mine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n At 35, Swift is one of the best-selling artists of all time and a 14-time Grammy winner who\u2019s worth an estimated $2.1 billion.<\/p>\n Kelce, 36, has won three Super Bowl rings as a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and is widely considered a future Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n Yet the newly engaged couple\u2019s day-to-day lives are surprisingly down-to-earth: they binge-watch shows, have friends over and spend quality time with family, proving they have plenty in common with Us<\/em> after all.<\/p>\n After a busy summer traveling between NYC (where Swift owns a $50 million penthouse) and Florida (where Kelce trained for the current NFL season), they\u2019re now settled in in Kansas City, living the simple life and enjoying each other\u2019s company.<\/p>\n (Kelce proposed to Swift in the backyard of the home in August.)<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWith both of their high-profile careers, it feels good to have simplicity and normalcy together,\u201d a source close to the pair exclusively shares in Us Weekly<\/em>\u2019s latest cover story.<\/p>\n Adds a second source: \u201cTaylor and Travis are really chill. On a typical night in, they\u2019re usually having dinner and figuring out what to stream. It\u2019s very domestic and calm.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Swift is embracing her inner homebody.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been so fun to see what Taylor actually gets into around the house,\u201d Kelce said on \u201cNew Heights,\u201d before Swift opened up about her obsession with baking and knitting. \u201cI\u2019d say all my hobbies could be categorized as, like, hobbies you could have had in the 1700s, you know? Like, I get on my granny s***,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cwe\u2019re very deep in a sourdough obsession that has taken over my life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Days at home are decidedly low-key. \u201cThey love cooking challenges and random deep dives on documentaries,\u201d says the second source. \u201cTaylor is always organizing something, and Travis likes video games and is always studying football games. They complement each other in that way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n They\u2019ve developed a few daily routines.<\/p>\n \u201cThey always have coffee together in the morning,\u201d adds the second source, noting that the duo also attends regular Sunday get-togethers with friends after Chiefs games. They celebrated the team\u2019s win on October 19 at Kelce\u2019s new 1587 Prime steakhouse restaurant, which he co-owns with teammate and close pal Patrick Mahomes<\/strong>. (While Swift has attended at least three of Kelce\u2019s home games this season, she\u2019s kept a noticeably lower profile because the attention on her was \u201cgetting too excessive,\u201d says the first source.)<\/p>\n They try to unplug when they can.<\/p>\n \u201cThey love to turn their phones off [and have] no distractions [when they\u2019re together],\u201d says the second source. Swift raved about spending time with Kelce during her October 6 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. \u201cHe\u2019s just my favorite person I\u2019ve ever met, no offense to everyone else,\u201d she said, noting she\u2019s thrilled \u201cthat this is the person that I get to hang out with every day forever.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The pair have no airs about them. \u201cWhenever I\u2019m with her, it feels like we\u2019re just regular people,\u201d Kelce told GQ<\/em> in his August cover story. \u201cWhen there is not a camera on us, we\u2019re just two people that are in love.\u201d Says the second source: \u201cTaylor and Travis are super simple. People expect glam when they visit them, but it\u2019s the complete opposite. Sometimes they\u2019re in sweats, eating takeout. It\u2019s not what you\u2019d expect.\u201d<\/p>\n When they do go out in the Kansas City area, they can generally fly under the radar.<\/p>\n \u201cThey don\u2019t have to worry as much about being incognito day-to-day,\u201d says a Kansas City source. Locals are friendly but respectful of their privacy. \u201cTravis is pretty beloved in Kansas City, so when he and Taylor go out to dinner at a restaurant, people will say hello [but] they don\u2019t go out of their way to bother them,\u201d continues the source. \u201cTravis is really personable and will give fans a smile and a pat on the back, and Taylor seems pretty comfortable, likely because Travis is so at home here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The duo enjoys hosting at their house. \u201cTaylor puts a lot of thought into creating a welcoming atmosphere, from curating the playlist to setting a beautiful table and cooking herself,\u201d says the first source, noting that their gatherings tend to be pretty informal. \u201cThey\u2019re about connection, laughter and slowing down.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Their circle is small and includes Patrick and Brittany Mahomes<\/strong> (Swift traveled to Nashville for Brittany\u2019s 30th birthday party in August), the singer\u2019s longtime besties, like Selena Gomez<\/strong> and Ashley Avignone<\/strong>, and their respective families. The first source says Swift has \u201cgotten closer\u201d with sister-in-law Kylie Kelce<\/strong>. During Swift\u2019s \u201cNew Heights\u201d appearance, she told Jason she had been workshopping a funfetti loaf recipe for his and Kylie\u2019s daughters \u201cbecause they love everything rainbow,\u201d pointing out they put \u201csprinkles in everything when we hang out.\u201d The singer also has a strong bond with Kelce\u2019s mom, Donna<\/strong>. \u201cTravis\u2019 family adores Taylor and treats her like she is one of their own,\u201d says the first source, adding, \u201cTaylor and Travis have merged their friend groups and families. Everyone is deeply connected now.\u201d<\/p>\n Wedding plans are \u201ccoming along,\u201d says the first source.<\/p>\n \u201cThey are both [very] involved, and Taylor thinks it\u2019s cute that Travis wants to help.\u201d They\u2019re hoping to tie the knot next summer, possibly in Rhode Island, where she has a summer house. \u201cThey don\u2019t want a long engagement,\u201d reveals the source, noting that Swift and Kelce \u201cvery much want to start a family in the next year or so. Family means everything to them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The happy couple is also in the market for their forever home. In early August, it was reported they\u2019d looked at an $18 million mansion in the suburbs of Northeast Ohio, near Kelce\u2019s hometown.<\/p>\n While Swift is heavily focused on her personal life these days, the singer, who released her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>, on October 3, cleared up rumors she plans to retire after marrying Kelce.<\/p>\n \u201cI love the person that I am with because he loves what I do and he loves how much I am fulfilled by making art and making music,\u201d she said during an October 6 appearance on BBC Radio 2. For now, she\u2019s deservedly recharging after her demanding 149-date Eras Tour. \u201cTaylor\u2019s not ruling out another tour, but it\u2019s not something on the immediate horizon,\u201d says the first source. Adds the second: \u201cShe\u2019s prioritizing her life balance with Travis\u201d \u2014 and if that means scrolling sourdough blogs while he plays Madden, so be it!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In her wide-ranging interview on the \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast back in August, Taylor Swift offered glimpses into life at home with fianc\u00e9 Travis Kelce.
