Why Florida Has Been the ‘Perfect Escape’ for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce During Spotlight Break (Exclusive)

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce never, ever, ever want to come out of hiding.

Since the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s crushing Super Bowl loss on February 9, he and his pop superstar girlfriend have stepped out together only a handful of times — a decision they made intentionally.

“They are making fewer public appearances together because [their relationship] brings too much unwanted attention,” a source tells Luxury Handbag Shopping exclusively, “but there isn’t trouble in paradise.”

Case in point: The couple were seen enjoying a low-key date night on May 23 at Harry’s restaurant in West Palm Beach, Florida, where Kelce has been gearing up for the 2025 NFL season.

“Florida has been the perfect escape for them,” a second insider shares.

The athlete, 35, recently rented a $20 million mansion in Boca Raton, where he and Swift, also 35, have been able to lie low when she is in town.

“Taylor has been coming and going to Florida,” the second source says, “and is still spending a lot of her time in NYC,” where she owns a $50 million townhouse.

A third insider adds, “She is trying to spend as much time with him as she can by going to Boca. They are doing stuff separately out of necessity because of his training, but when they find time to connect, it’s intentional and meaningful.”

Staying low-key has also helped Swift avoid being dragged further into her longtime friend Blake Lively‘s high-profile legal battle with Justin Baldoni. (The It Ends With Us costars sued each other for claims including sexual harassment and defamation, all of which they have denied.)

“[Swift’s] emotions were heightened when [Baldoni’s] lawsuit was filed,” the second source says, “and [Kelce] was definitely her sounding board.”

Luxury Handbag Shopping has reached out to reps for Swift and Kelce for comment.
