Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s parents originally planned to meet each other Monday when Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs played the Philadelphia Eagles, but Swift was performing in Brazil after postponing her Eras show on Saturday.
TMZ has reported that Swift and Kelce are still doing everything they can to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas together. Their plans include bringing their families together this week for the festivities, likely at Kelce’s home in Kansas City, Missouri, for what clearly would be a major milestone in their relationship. As TMZ said, “Thanksgiving with 2 fams is a BIG step.”
TMZ cited multiple sources, who said that the pop mega-star and the NFL tight end are “moving forward” with plans to see each other on Thanksgiving and Christmas and are “are trying to work out their schedules to make sure they set aside as much time together as possible.”
News about Swift and Kelce’s potential holiday plans comes as Kelce solidified the idea that the relationship has become serious in a new interview with the Wall Street Journal Magazine. The two-time Super Bowl winner opened up about being nervous before their first date and how he’s had to adjust to dating someone with her level of fame, which exceeded even his NFL stardom.
Kelce revealed that someone in Swift’s team helped set them up after he went public about his failed attempt to give her his number after her Eras show in Kansas City. Before their first date in New York City, he said he had people around him, telling him, “Don’t (expletive) this up.”
“Obviously I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them…. I’ve never dealt with it,” Kelce said. “But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it.”
“The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she’s just living, enjoying life,” Kelce continued. “When she acts like that I better not be the one acting all strange.”
Kelce also described Swift as “hilarious” and a “genius” and talked about how “being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been (expletive) mind-blowing. I’m learning every day.”
Back to the couple’s holiday plans: TMZ said it’s not been confirmed that Swift’s parents, Andrea and Scott Swift, would be joining Kelce’s family in Kansas City or Thanksgiving. But TMZ also said it could happen, given that Andrea and Scott Swift had planned on being there for Kelce’s game.
Of course, Swift faces a tight schedule this week. If she flies back to the United States for Thanksgiving on Thursday, she’ll have to turn around and fly back to South America, so she can perform Friday night in São Paulo on Nov. 24.
The TMZ sources acknowledged that the couple’s Christmas plans are more up in the air, but stressed that Swift and Kelce “really” want to be together then, too, because their relationship is “serious.”
The couple also faces more scheduling challenges in the coming year, with Swift having to spend much of the year on her tour overseas. Still, the pair are “committed” to making their relationship work.
