Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift may be at a crossroads in their relationship, especially after both experienced high-profile losses recently. Kelce, 35, ended an intense NFL season on a sour note after the Kansas City Chiefs lost the Super Bowl in New Orleans on February 9, missing out on making history with a three-peat. Meanwhile, Swift, also 35, came off her record-breaking Eras Tour only to lose all six Grammy nominations she was up for.
A source close to the couple says these setbacks have been a “dose of reality” for both of them, popping the “fantasy bubble” they’ve been living in since they started dating in 2023.

The insider claims that Swift is eager to tie the knot and start a family as soon as possible. Many even speculated that Kelce would propose at the Super Bowl—possibly on the field with confetti raining down—but that moment never came.
Despite his Super Bowl heartbreak, Kelce has made it clear that he’s not ready to walk away from football just yet. On his New Heights podcast, he admitted that he’s “kicking the can down the road” when it comes to retirement.
While Kelce is financially secure and already exploring post-football opportunities like acting, he reportedly wants to go out on top before leaving the game for good.
This has put Swift in a difficult position. While she fully supports Kelce’s career, she’s also privately hoping he’ll retire so they can settle down and focus on starting a family.
