The insider says Kelce wanted to be '100% sure' that Swift was fine with every image in the set - a rare look into their private life. 'He ran every single image by her. He didn't want to post anything she wasn't 100% comfortable with,' the source told the outlet. Travis Kelce with Taylor Swift in new Instagram photos. (killatrav/Instagram)

The post included everything from romantic beach shots to date nights and time with friends. This was the first time he shared personal photographs with Swift publicly.
