It’s good to be Travis Kelce these days. Though his on-field production for the Kansas City Chiefs has declined in 2024, the legendary tight end ended a long touchdown drought when he snagged a 12-yard touchdown pass from his friend Patrick Mahomes during a 29-10 Christmas Day rout over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Off the field, Kelce has launched an acting career and co-hosts the extremely popular “New Heights” podcast with his older brother Jason. He also remains firmly committed to girlfriend Taylor Swift, arguably the world’s most popular musical artist — and probably the most tired pop star on the planet, given she just recently wrapped her 149-show Eras Tour.

Swift’s new “home base” will be Nashville
Swift finally ended her tour on Dec. 8 and has been taking some well-earned time off while planning her next move for 2025. She did not travel to Pittsburgh to watch Kelce and the 15-1 Chiefs on Wednesday — security issues have precluded her from traveling throughout the 2024 NFL season — but amidst her downtime, Swift has made a big decision: she wants to set herself up in Nashville, Tennessee, instead of Los Angeles or New York City.
Setting up operations in Nashville is a strategic move for Swift, according to insiders. For one, Swift owns two properties in the city, and her mother Andrea likes the city’s vibe. Finally, Nashville is situated roughly 550 miles from Kansas City — a much closer trek on Swift’s private jet than a cross-country excursion would be.
“Taylor and Travis live fairly nomadic lives, and Taylor has home bases everywhere, but they live everywhere together,” an insider told Page Six.
The decision comes amid a positive “escalation” in Swift’s romance with Kelce. The “End Game” singer previously told her team she wanted a year to determine whether Kelce would be her “Mr. Right” and whether she would want to marry the Chiefs icon — who is his team’s new all-time leader in touchdown receptions following Wednesday’s game.
“Taylor is really embracing WAG (wife and girlfriend) life,” the insider said. “I think she’s adapted so well to WAG life because she truly understands what it’s like to be part of a team – especially coming off Eras where she formed such a close connection with her band, dancers, singers and crew.
“She appreciates that sort of camaraderie and collaboration, that kind of chosen family. She fully gets and respects those bonds and why they need to be supported.”
