As Taylor Swift's Eras Tour nears its conclusion with the final show in Vancouver this December, the 14-time Grammy winner is preparing to take a well-deserved break after nearly two years of non-stop touring. Amidst engagement rumors surrounding her relationship with Travis Kelce, sources suggest that the couple may be contemplating a significant step this holiday season.
After performing nearly 150 shows around the world, Swift is reportedly exhausted and ready to take a step back.
“Taylor’s exhausted,” an insider shared with Us Weekly, noting that the pop star has been on the road for nearly two years. To recharge, Swift plans to spend time “hibernating [with Travis] for a while” at her New York City apartment. A second source added that the couple is looking forward to enjoying “normal things” together, including getting to know each other on a deeper level. “The little nuances about someone’s personality and habits come into play,” said the first insider, highlighting how the downtime will allow them to learn more about one another.
Christmas and Family Approval: A Step Toward Engagement?
As rumors about a potential engagement swirl, sources suggest that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce could be taking a big step in their relationship this Christmas. The couple has reportedly already secured family approval, with Kelce’s family attending Swift’s concerts and Swift’s family supporting him at Kansas City Chiefs games. In fact, Swift's family even hosted Kelce and his brother Jason for Thanksgiving in Nashville.
Although both Swift and Kelce are said to want to take their relationship to the next level, an engagement isn’t something they’re rushing into. “Taylor and Travis are taking their time to learn more about each other,” one source explained. Despite this, both parties are said to be open to the idea of marriage. “Taylor feels Travis could be 'The One,' but she wants to take things slow,” the insider added. Marriage is a serious commitment for Swift, and she’s not one to take it lightly. “She wants it to be forever,” a source close to her revealed, emphasizing her careful approach to relationships.

As she reflects on her achievements, including her monumental career and the success of *The Eras Tour*, Swift is reportedly excited about turning 35. “She knows she’s accomplished so much,” the insider remarked.
The singer has also expressed to her team that she intends to take a year off to focus on her personal life. This break will allow her to assess where things stand with her relationship and determine her next steps both personally and professionally.
The Future of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s RelationshipWhile an engagement could be in the cards, Swift and Kelce are not planning to rush into marriage. The Cruel Summer singer and the NFL star have been dating for over a year, and while both are eager for a future together, they’re taking a deliberate approach.
“Marriage is a big deal, and she wants it to be forever,” a source explained, reinforcing that Swift values taking her time when it comes to important decisions like these.
Despite speculation about the couple's future, they are reportedly not planning to start a family just yet. “Taylor and Travis are both so busy,” a source revealed, explaining that Swift’s career is currently her main focus. However, the couple is planning to spend Christmas together, hosting a holiday celebration with their families. Afterward, Swift plans to rest and recharge before starting work on her next album, with the possibility of another tour down the line.
