On Thursday, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are rumored to be reuniting in Nashville after a lengthy separation. A source talking to the Daily Mail alleged that her NFL player boyfriend’s entire family will be heading to Tennessee to join in on Thanksgiving dinner at her home there.
The claims are boosted by reports that Swift’s private plane stopped in Kansas City on Wednesday before heading to the musical city, and that Travis’s brother, Jason Kelce, has a plane that landed in Nashville shortly afterwards.
Jason, however, did say on an earlier episode of New Heights podcast, “We’re all going to KC for Thanksgiving.”
Travis also has to be in Missouri on Thursday night, because his team is playing the Las Vegas Raiders in Arrowhead Stadium on Friday afternoon. NFL teams often have rules around what players can do the night before games, according to the Bleacher Report, so it’s unlikely that Travis would be able to sleep out of state Thanksgiving night.
Swift just finished a run of shows in Toronto and will be resuming her Eras Tour in Vancouver on December 6. It’s possible she’ll be returning to Kansas City with Travis, if they are together for Thanksgiving. The star has attended several games this season at Arrowhead, but not at away games. A source speaking with Page Six said that she prefers to avoid unfamiliar venues due to security concerns.
“She’s not going anywhere unless she knows the venue intimately and it has been thoroughly scouted and secured in advance,” said the insider.
Another source told the publication that Kelce offers Swift “a tremendous sense of peace.”
“Just his physical presence,” they explained. “She feels safer with him than anyone she’s ever known; she knows he would do anything for her and physically she feels protected by him, and she loves that feeling. It’s a relatively new one for her, relationship-wise.”
