Insiders Reveal Taylor Swift's Life With Travis Kelce in Florida Is a Total 180 From Her Usual Lifestyle
Taylor Swift might be one of the most recognizable faces on the planet, but in Florida, she's just another person out for a morning walk — with security in tow, of course. The singer has been quietly living in Boca Raton as boyfriend Travis Kelce trains for the upcoming NFL season, and according to insiders, their low-key routine is a far cry from the red carpets and arena tours Swift is used to. 'They're living fairly normally here,' a source told Life & Style. 'She hasn't been spotted much, but everyone is buzzing that she's here.' Despite the buzz, the couple seems to have found something close to peace in the Sunshine State. 'When they go out to eat or have drinks, people let them be,' the source added. More from SheKnows How Much Does a Meal Cost at Taylor Swift's Go-To Italian Restaurant? That includes a recent date night at Harry's in West Palm Beach, where Swift sipped white wine in an off-the-shoulder floral dress — perhaps part of Kelce's recent $80,000 wardrobe splurge on the 'Blank Space' singer — while Kelce opted for a cocktail and a casual button-down. The two were spotted holding hands and flanked by security, making it low-profile for them. The pair has kept things relatively under wraps since the Chiefs' 2025 Super Bowl loss, but reports suggest they've been living together in the Boca rental Kelce picked up this spring. On a May episode of the New Heights podcast, he slyly mentioned, 'We've got chimneys and we've got furniture,' prompting Swifties to translate 'we' into cohabitation confirmation. Insiders say this quieter chapter has only strengthened their bond. 'It's been a dream period that's only solidified that they're on the same page about their future,' a source told Life & Style, adding that the downtime 'allowed them to grow closer and be even more certain.' Of course, even Swift's soft-launch sabbatical has a backstory worthy of a rom-com. Gigi Hadid's sister Marielle recently claimed she gave Swift a nudge toward Kelce after a tarot reading — encouraging the pop star to go for it, even if it was just 'for a good lay.' Nearly a year later, the couple is still very much together, navigating the NFL off-season like two very famous homebodies. According to Daily Mail, their days include couple workouts, morning lattes, and yes — Kelce giving Swift massages after learning how to dial down the football strength. For now, it looks like they've traded in Eras-era chaos for domestic calm — and surprisingly, Swift seems just fine blending in.

Mass in the past: Josh Hines-Allen and his Jaguars teammates slim down in hopes of turning up
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Josh Hines-Allen tipped the scales like never before in 2024. The seventh-year pro beefed up to 285 pounds at the behest of first-year (now former) Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen, whose 'mass kicks ass' motto was a mainstay during the offseason and in training camp. It was catchy — and ultimately consequential.
