Travis Kelce is easing up his social and work life to spend more time with Taylor Swift. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is ready to give his all during the 2025 NFL season so that he can retire at ease.

Travis Kelce announced his retirement decision in an episode of his New Heights podcast—saying that he’s ready to return and end his career on a high note. “I think I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I helped them, especially if you look at my track record and what it’s been in year’s past,” he said. “I want to give it a good run. I’ve got a bad taste in my mouth on how I ended the year and how well I was playing and how accountable I was to the people around me. … I don’t want to leave that life yet.”

In the weeks after his Super Bowl loss, Taylor and Travis have been going a little bit AWOL. But have no fear, they’re just taking a lot of time to rest. The twosome have been spotted in Denver and Montana on some lowkey dates. “With all this free time with Taylor and all this travel they are doing together, it is getting Travis to learn what retirement will be like,” a source told the Daily Mail. “He is loving this time with Taylor, and he is very happy it is all going well because this is what he will be dealing with after his playing days are over.”

Though his contract may be up soon, Travis isn’t giving up on his team at all. “Travis is going to go all in on this season, as he expects it to be his last. He wants to retire as a Chief… and his contract is up after this year. His current idea is to hang it up after this season.”

Amid the retirement decision, Taylor and Travis were the subject of breakup rumors, but they’re just quietly supporting each other for now. “This has been a stressful time for them, but they’re focusing on each other,” an insider revealed to Mail Online. “Taylor is Travis’s top priority right now, and he just wants to make sure she’s okay.”
