Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have stepped out of the limelight after intense media scrutiny

Taylor Swift is reportedly planning to attend fewer of Travis Kelce's NFL games in the upcoming 2025 season as the couple takes a step back from the public eye.

Following the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl loss in February, the pair have decided to maintain a lower profile to help Kelce focus solely on football.


According to a Daily Mail report, insiders claim the couple will no longer be "out and about as much as they have been".

Swift has attended 19 Chiefs games since their relationship became public, with the team winning all but three of those matches.

The decision comes as Kelce reportedly struggled with the increased fame after beginning his relationship with the global superstar.

Sources reveal that Kelce is determined to "go all in this season" with the Chiefs.

"The only thing that could derail him would be injury," an insider told the Daily Mail.

The tight end reportedly wants to be "the reason that the Chiefs return to the Super Bowl" after their defeat earlier this year.

Swift is said to be fully supportive of Kelce's renewed focus on his sporting career.

"Taylor is all about it," the insider claimed.

The couple's relationship is reportedly "going great" despite their decision to reduce public appearances together.

This shift in approach follows criticism from some quarters after the Chiefs' Super Bowl loss.

Since the end of the NFL season and Swift's Eras tour, the couple have reportedly been taking time to enjoy each other's company away from the spotlight.

Despite their attempts to maintain privacy, media attention continues to follow the high-profile pair wherever they go.

Swift has been a frequent presence at Chiefs games since their relationship began, often seen cheering enthusiastically from VIP boxes.

The singer has been described as something of a "lucky charm" for the team, though insiders stress that Kelce now wants to focus on his own performance.

The couple have managed to keep a very low profile in recent months despite their global fame.

Reports suggest Kelce is "heavily leaning towards retirement after this season", adding urgency to his desire for another championship.
