Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

Pop sensation Taylor Swift and NFL superstar tight end Travis Kelce have only been dating for a few months, but it sounds like the football star has already become a sort of safe space for Swift.

According to a report from US Weekly, Taylor Swift has become quite comfortable with Travis Kelce by her side as a source told the outlet that the pop star feels “safe and protected” by the Kansas City Chiefs star tight end.

“[It’s] been so refreshing for Taylor not to feel the need to hide with Travis,” a source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly. “He makes her feel safe and protected like she has the freedom to be and act however she wants.”

This sort of freedom and openness is relatively new for Swift as her previous long-term boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, was not really interested in sharing their relationship publicly, which is obviously difficult for someone who is as famous and transparent as Swift.

But with Kelce, the two have clearly not held back in showing their affection for each other publicly, and based on this recent report, it sounds like Swift very much appreciates that about their relationship.
