Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been together for over a year now, but it seems like they’re facing a challenging period in their relationship.
Last week, Travis Kelce officially announced that he’ll be returning for another season with the Kansas City Chiefs, putting to rest any speculation about a potential retirement.
However, before he made his decision public, Radar Online reported that Taylor Swift was “gripped by fear” over what Kelce would ultimately choose regarding his NFL future—mainly because of how it could impact their relationship.
“Taylor is really gripped by fear over which way he’s going to jump because it has big ramifications for their relationship, but also, it is totally his call,” an inside source told Radar Online.
“Travis is totally adamant that Taylor would never pressure him into anything, insisting she’ll support whatever he decides – but let’s be real, it’s no secret she’s itching to settle down.
“Imagine if he retires; they could finally have more time together! They both really miss each other when he’s off training or jet-setting around the country for games. But on the flip-side there is the danger they would then be spending too much time together and they both know this can spell the death of a relationship.
“And don’t forget that not-so-great moment at the Super Bowl when Taylor got booed! It really took a toll on her self-esteem.
“Travis claims it was just rival fans being jerks, but you can’t blame her for feeling a bit picked on. It’s only natural for her to worry about being the scapegoat if he hangs up his cleats.”
In the end, Kelce chose not to retire and to continue playing. We’ll have to see how that decision impacts their relationship moving forward.
