Tonight, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will spend Halloween together in Kansas City, Missouri, and many people across the country will dress like them, including Mitt Romney, Kelly Ripa, and Mark Consuelos already. But being one of the world’s most famous celebrity couples only a month or so into dating has raised some concerns for Swift, Kelce, and Kelce’s family.
A source explained to Entertainment Tonight that “there is a general concern about their safety given how high profile their relationship is and the added attention it’s brought. They’re so appreciative of their fans, but hope to keep some aspects of their relationship private going forward. This level of stardom is something new to Travis, and although he can handle it, he is still getting used to it. Safety is a major concern among everyone, especially given how passionate fans feel about their relationship.”
That source added that things really are going well between Swift and Kelce in private, and Kelce has his family’s “full support.”
“Everyone close to Travis loves that he is happy,” the source said. “He is on the path to finding that special person in Taylor.”
A different source also confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that Swift and Kelce are indeed celebrating Halloween as a couple. “Travis loves Halloween and is planning on hosting some friends and teammates for a dinner party,” the source said. Swift was seen flying into Kansas City yesterday to be with him.
Entertainment Tonight is not the only outlet to report on how Kelce’s family is adjusting to his life dating Swift.The Messenger ran similar intel about how difficult the sudden attention is. “The fame has been hard on the family,” the source said. “None of them have privacy anymore.”
