Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce enjoy ‘off season' in rare loved-up personal photos
So much so, media outlets were hiring stand-alone 'Taylor Swift' reporters to keep up with her movements and the public's appetite.
But after her blockbuster Eras Tour wrapped in December, the US singer well and truly entered her quiet 'era' for some much-earned down time, only emerging for the occasional public outing.
Now, her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce has delighted fans with a flurry of personal photos showing what the couple have been up to over the past few months.
Taking to Instagram to highlight his 'adventures this off-season', Kelce and Swift, both 35, appear to have been savouring some time together with friends.
In some of the photos, the couple could be seen rugged up in winter gear as they enjoyed a holiday in the snow.
Elsewhere, in a warmer climate, Swift and Kelce cozied up alongside friends over glasses of wine in the mountains.
Another wholesome group photo showed the pair enjoying a balmy evening in what appeared to be a light-filled rocky cave.
The pair, who began dating in the summer of 2023, could also be seen goofing around over dinner.
Page Six reported back in February the couple embarked on a secret, international holiday together shortly after Kelce's Super Bowl loss.
Despite her low-profile of late, Swift did return to social media in May with some huge news for fans, revealing she'd finally bought back her masters after a six-year saga.
'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slide show,' she began her letter, which is on her official website.
'A flashback sequence of all the time I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through.
'I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that's all in the past now. I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found that this is really happening. I really get to say those words.
'All of the music I've ever made … now belong … to me.'
The announcement came after Swift had spent the past few years re-recording her albums, which she titled 'Taylor's Version', in a bid to dilute the original works that were infamously bought by Scooter Braun for $US330 million in 2019.
Braun's company, Ithaca Holdings, bought Big Machine Label Group, the record label that owned the rights to Swift's first six albums. Braun later sold Swift's master recordings to investment firm Shamrock Capital in November 2020 for a reported $US400 million.
In her recent statement celebrating her long-awaited victory to own her masters, Swift revealed one of the only 'Taylor's Version' albums she was yet to release, 2017's Reputation, may never eventuate.
'Full transparency: I haven't even re-recorded a quarter of it,' she confessed.
'To be perfectly honest, it's the only album in those first 6 that I thought couldn't be improved upon by redoing it […] so I kept putting it off.'
However, she promised that fans would get to listen to the unreleased vault tracks when the time was right.
Elsewhere in the statement, Swift confirmed she had re-recorded her entire debut album, titled Taylor Swift, though stopped short of revealing a release date.

Ed Sheeran's disturbing truth about life in the spotlight
Singer Ed Sheeran has revealed how his extreme stardom continues to put his family in danger. The global superstar, who recently announced his 2026 Australian tour, revealed on Sunday that he's been forced to employ extensive security measures to protect his children from extreme fans. Sheeran shares daughter Lyra, four, and Jupiter, three, with Cherry Seaborn. 'It's things that people don't really even take into account,' Sheeran told 60 Minutes. 'Like kidnap threats and s**t like that. We've had attempted break-ins, things left on my car. 'It's way more sinister than just fans turning up and wanting selfies.' Ed Sheeran arriving in Perth. Credit: Ian Munro / The West Australian Sheeran is fiercely protective of his daughters and does not allow fans to take photos of them. 'I've had some real arguments before,' he said. 'I'm fine with taking pictures, but I just think it's weird with a four-year-old and a three-year-old.' But Sheeran accepts: 'To be within the public sphere, you have to take it all, the good and the bad.' 'We have a level of security that probably won't change until I pass away. That's just our life now.' The English singer-songwriter returns to Perth for the first Aussie leg of his Loop Tour in January 2026, marking his first national performances since 2023. Announcing 11 shows across Australia and New Zealand in the summer, the four-time Grammy winner will touch down in WA for a singular Optus Stadium performance on January 31. He will then head east for two shows in each of Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne, before concluding the all-new tour with a one-off performance in Adelaide on March 5. Ed Sheeran performs in Wellington Credit: Zakary Walters/Ed Sheeran / Instagram Sheeran's forthcoming project Play — his eighth studio album — is due for release on September 12, with tracks Old Phone, Azizam and Sapphire already released. The album signals the conclusion of his three-year, 168-show Mathematics Tour that breached Aussie shores in 2023. 'Starting a brand new tour next year called the LOOP tour. New stage, new tricks, new set up, new songs and all the classics added in,' Sheeran told fans upon the tour announcement.

Tom Cruise's rumoured new girlfriend Ana de Armas takes aim at his ex Nicole Kidman by liking post mocking Aussie film star's appearance
Tom Cruise's rumoured new girlfriend has taken aim at his ex-wife Nicole Kidman by liking a post mocking the Australian film star. Cuban-American actress Ana de Armas, 37, and 63-year-old Cruise are thought to be in a relationship after they were recently spotted together numerous times at different romantic locations across the globe. De Armas took to Instagram to heart Celeb Mess' post of Kidman, which showed her face up close with the caption: "When you keep it real". The photo was reposted on Reddit, where fans of Kidman, 58, took to the comments to lash out at the War Dogs actress for shading their idol. "Lol let's see what she looks like at almost 60," one person said of her. Another person said it fascinates them when "people in their 20s and 30s are rude about people aging." "Like, where do you think you're headed? And do you know what the alternative to aging is?" they said. A third person hit out at de Armas for dating a "senior Tom Cruise", adding, "but sure Ana, you're the winner here lmao." "Having a one-sided internet beef with your boyfriend's wife from 20 years ago, this openly is just absurd lol," another person said. One more Nicole fan championed the Aussie's decades-long acting career, which has endured throughout her youth and more recently. "Looks fade, talent doesn't. Nicole's had a 40-year career. Let's see where Ana's is in 10," the Reddit user said. "Nicole Kidman has more talent, beauty, and grace than she ever will have." The furore comes after de Armas and Cruise touched down in London together on Friday after being spotted enjoying a leisurely escape aboard a yacht docked off the Spanish island of Menorca in June. Both stars cut a casual figure as they disembarked a helicopter, with Cruise wearing a T-shirt and jeans while his rumoured beau donned leggings and a sweatshirt with her dogs Elvis and Sasha in tow. The two appear to have been getting cosy, spending the days leading up to Valentine's Day and the actress's birthday in April together. Cruise and de Armas ignited romance rumours in February, when they were spotted strolling together in London. The actress subsequently said it occurred as the two were engaged in business talks with filmmakers Christopher McQuarrie and Doug Liman. And they are set to star in Liman's upcoming film Deeper, which sees Cruise star as a disgraced astronaut on a perilous deep-sea mission. Nevertheless, they are yet to confirm anything more than a friendship. In June, Ana said she was "really happy and proud" to have Cruise championing her film, Ballerina, after he paid her a compliment. The Chruch of Scientology believer said the John Wick spin-off "kicked ass." 'There's an actress that has dramatic chops, someone who's comedic, very, very talented," he said in May, adding: "Just a great actress."
