"They have been traveling nonstop and very much enjoy it," a source tells PEOPLE exclusively. "They are making the most of their time off together. They are hanging out with friends, too. It's a special time for them."
The insider says that Swift, 35, and Kelce, 35, are "very serious and in sync," adding: "They value the same things. Right now, the focus is very much on private time out of the spotlight."

Swift and Kelce's break from the spotlight comes after Swift completed her record-breaking Eras Tour in December 2024. Kelce was unable to attend her last show in Vancouver, but he surprised her with an Eras Tour-themed party, where family and friends celebrated the triumphant run of shows.

Meanwhile, Kelce wrapped up his 12th season with the Chiefs in February after the team lost the Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles with Swift in attendance. In late February, Kelce confirmed that he wouldn't be retiring and returning to the Chiefs in the fall after weeks of speculation.
Kelce and Swift have been very supportive of each other since taking their romance public. Kelce has attended several Eras Tour concerts throughout its run, while Swift went to many Chiefs games during the regular season, the playoffs and even the Super Bowl.

How High Will Taylor Swift's ‘Reputation' Land on Next Week's Billboard 200 Following Her Masters Purchase?
The Contenders is a midweek column that looks at artists aiming for the top of the Billboard charts, and the strategies behind their efforts. This week, for the upcoming Billboard 200 dated June 14, we look at a handful of albums likely to impact the top tier of the chart – a couple brand new, and a couple recently revitalized, led by a likely rebound from the biggest pop star in the world. Taylor Swift, (Big Machine): On a day of big new releases, last Friday (May 30) was still dominated by the news that Taylor Swift had officially acquired her own masters. Billboard reported from sources that she paid around $360 million for the acquisition from private equity firm Shamrock Capital, which had acquired the catalog in late 2020 from Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings, after Braun had bought Swift's old label Big Machine the year before. Braun's initial purchase, and Swift's negative reaction to her professional adversary having such a big stake in her history, had of course inspired the entire Taylor's Version project — which led to Swift re-recording four of her first six albums over the course of 2021-2023, along with a number of period-appropriate rarities. That endeavor not only proved wildly successful for Swift, but played a major part in her 2020s ascension to a level of solo superstardom not seen before this century. More from Billboard Watch SEVENTEEN Bring the 'Thunder' to 'Kelly Clarkson Show' Performance 'This Is What You Asked For': Watch Linkin Park Star in Ice-Shattering Stanley Cup Final Promo Sylvia Rhone, Ciara & More Honored at Inaugural Black Women in Music Dinner One of the two Big Machine-era albums she had yet to get to with her Taylor's Version series was Reputation, the divisive 2017 album that followed both her ultimate pop breakthrough with 2014's 1989 and the backlash that ensued, particularly after her back-and-forth feuding with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Along with the announcement of the acquisition of her masters, Swift also revealed that Reputation (Taylor's Version) had been the most challenging of the series for her to put together, as she found it difficult to get back into the headspace of that album era — and thus had not even finished re-recording a quarter of it. Fans could infer from her letter that now that Swift's back catalog was once again her own, she would be unlikely to finish re-recording the rest of it anytime soon. But while some fans may have been disappointed that they would not get the full Reputation (Taylor's Version) package anytime soon — which was so long-anticipated that the original album got a consumption bump a couple weeks ago merely based on rumors that she might reveal something about it on the AMAs — most were ready to revisit the original album anyway. With no re-recording imminent, and Swift once again the owner of her back catalog, fans flocked to the original Reputation, resulting in it leaping to the top of the iTunes albums chart, and launching five of its tracks back onto the Spotify Daily Top Songs USA chart for Saturday (May 31). The major bump in sales and streams, for an album that was still ranking at No. 78 on the Billboard 200 in its 349th week on the chart, could see the album make a major rebound next week. It's unlikely to supplant Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem — but no album is, as Problem posted 286,000 units this week (according to Luminate) in its second week atop the chart, and is likely to still be comfortably in the six figures in its third week, thanks to the 37-track set's gargantuan streaming numbers. But it could get as high as the top five, maybe even to the runner-up spot, if fan enthusiasm maintains the further we get away from Swift's Friday announcement. (Swift could also perhaps give sales a boost if she made the album available for sale on her webstore — as of publishing, it was still not listed there.) Miley Cyrus, (Columbia): Perhaps Swift's main competition for the biggest chart-crasher this week is her old Hannah Montana: The Movie co-star Miley Cyrus. The veteran pop superstar returned on Friday with her new LP Something Beautiful, the audio part of a visual album project whose film accompaniment is set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival this Friday (June 6). Something Beautiful follows 2023's Endless Summer Vacation, and its galactically successful lead single 'Flowers,' which became the biggest chart hit of Cyrus' career and won her her first two Grammys. So far, none of the advance releases from Something Beautiful appear to be on anywhere near a 'Flowers' trajectory, however — the only one of them to even reach the Billboard Hot 100 so far was official lead single 'End of the World,' which debuted at No. 52 and fell off the chart after just four weeks. While Something Beautiful is unlikely to be an immediate streaming blockbuster — as of midweek, none of its tracks appear on either the Spotify Daily Top Songs USA or the Apple Music real-time charts — it should sell relatively well. To help with that, the album is available in six different vinyl variants (including an artist webstore-exclusive signed version), as well as standard and signed CDs and two deluxe branded boxed sets with the CD and branded merch. At the very least, the set should extend Miley's streak of top five albums on the Billboard 200 — which encompasses every one of her official studio releases dating back to 2007's Meet Miley Cyrus, excepting 2015's Miley Cyrus & Dead Petz, which was not initially given a commercial release. SEVENTEEN, (Pledis/YG Plus): Also aiming for the top five next week is an act with less stateside household-name recognition as Swift and Cyrus, but nearly as much of a presence on the albums chart. SEVENTEEN has reached the Billboard 200's top 10 six times already in the 2020s, and even gotten as high as No. 2 with two 2023 releases, the EP FML and the mini-album Seventeenth Heaven. The 13-member group is likely to return to the top 10 next week with its fifth full-length album, Happy Burstday — a 16-track effort that includes contributions from two of the biggest U.S. hitmakers of the early 21st-century in Pharrell and Timbaland. While SEVENTEEN has never been a major force on streaming in the U.S., the group are reliable high-sellers, and Burstday is available for purchase in a whopping 14 CD variants — all of which contain collectible branded paper ephemera, some of which is randomized. It should be enough for Burstday to be a real contender for the Billboard 200's runner-up spot, along with the Swift and Cyrus sets.

Morgan Wallen's ‘I'm the Problem' Spends Third Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200
Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem is No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated June 14) for a third consecutive week, following its debut atop the list dated May 31. It earned 246,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending June 5 (down 14%), according to Luminate. It's the largest third week for an album in over a year, since Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department earned 282,000 in its third frame (May 18, 2024-dated chart). Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, new albums from SEVENTEEN and Miley Cyrus debut, while Swift's chart-topping reputation, released in 2017, returns, zooming 78-5. The latter benefits from an outpouring of fan support following the news that Swift had acquired her Big Machine Records catalog, inclusive of reputation.

Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new June 14, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's website on June 10. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram. Of I'm the Problem's 246,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending June 5, SEA units comprise 229,000 (down 11%, equaling 298.41 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs — it leads Top Streaming Albums for a third week), album sales comprise 15,500 (down 45% — it falls from No. 1 to No. 3 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,500 (down 17%). At No. 2 on the Billboard 200, SEVENTEEN scores their seventh top 10-charting album, as SEVENTEEN 5th Album HAPPY BURSTDAY debuts. The set launches with 48,500 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 46,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 2,500 (equaling 3.26 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The set's album sales were aided by its availability across 14 CD variants, all containing collectible paper ephemera, some randomized. SZA's chart-topping SOS falls 2-3 on the Billboard 200 with 46,000 equivalent album units earned (down 3%). Miley Cyrus achieves her 15th top 10-charting set on the Billboard 200 as Something Beautiful bows at No. 4. It starts with 44,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 27,000 (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 17,000 (equaling 22.18 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. (Cyrus' tally of 15 top 10s is inclusive of her albums billed to her Disney Channel character Hannah Montana.) Something Beautiful's first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across six vinyl variants (including one signed, sold in Cyrus' webstore), a standard CD, a signed CD (exclusive to Cyrus' webstore) and two deluxe CD boxed sets (sold via her webstore, each containing branded merch and a copy of the album). The album was preceded by the Billboard Hot 100-charting song 'End of the World,' which debuted and peaked at No. 52 in April. It also became a top 20 hit on the Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay and Adult Contemporary charts. Taylor Swift's chart-topping reputation rallies 78-5 with 42,000 equivalent album units earned (up 221%). It's the album's first week in the top 10 since the Aug. 4, 2018-dated chart (when it ranked at No. 9), the set's highest rank since the Jan. 27, 2018, chart (when it was No. 5) and its best week by units earned since the Jan. 13, 2018, chart, when it tallied 48,000 (at No. 3). The album debuted at No. 1 on the Dec. 2, 2017-dated chart and spent four nonconsecutive weeks atop the list. Of reputation's 42,000 units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 27,000 (up 125%, equaling 34.75 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs; it reenters Top Streaming Albums at No. 10), album sales comprise 15,000 (up 1,184%, it reenters Top Album Sales at No. 4) and TEA units comprise less than 500 units. The album rallies up the list following fan support of the project after Swift announced that she had acquired her Big Machine-era catalog, including reputation. Rounding out the top 10 of the Billboard 200 are five former No. 1s: Wallen's One Thing at a Time falls 4-6 (40,000; down 3%); Kendrick Lamar's GNX drops 3-7 (39,000; down 7%); Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet dips 6-8 (37,000; though up 1%); PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake's $ome $exy $ongs 4 U descends 7-9 (34,000; down 4%); and Bad Bunny's Debí Tirar Más Fotos falls 8-10 (33,000; down 7%).
