Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are fully embracing “vacation mode” and taking a well-deserved break from the chaos of public life.
The couple, who’ve been dating for almost two years now, are keeping things per low-key these days, and WNBA star Caitlin Clark just gave fans a little glimpse into their downtime.
Clark, 23, is quickly becoming a name everyone knows thanks to her breakout success with the Indiana Fever. But aside from her skills on the court, she’s also now casually connected to two of the biggest names in pop culture. She met Taylor back in January during an NFL playoff game where Taylor and Clark were spotted watching Travis Kelce from a private suite. Since then, it seems they’ve formed a solid friendship.
So when USA Today asked Caitlin if she expected Taylor and Travis to show up for her games this season, she said, “Oh gosh, I don’t know. I mean, I hope so. I feel like they’re also living, they’re in a nice, vacation mode right now. So I hope they enjoy a nice little break out of the spotlight. But I’m sure they’ll be cheering for the Fever either way.”
That’s the vibe Taylor and Travis are serving right now: no red carpets, no big public moments, just relaxing and enjoying life outside the cameras. It’s a rare breather for a couple who’ve been the center of attention ever since they became official.
But even while laying low, Taylor’s still making time for family, especially Travis’s. She recently met his brother Jason Kelce’s newborn son, Finn, who’s just six weeks old. Jason, who’s married to Kylie Kelce, has four kids: Wyatt (5), Elliotte (4), Bennett (2), and now baby Finn. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Jason shared how meaningful it was to have everyone together. “She’s met her,” he confirmed, referring to Taylor meeting little Finn. “We were fortunate to have them all in. It doesn’t happen often, everyone’s really busy, but it was really special.”
Since Travis and Taylor went public, the Kelce family has been launched into the global spotlight. Jason himself has become a beloved figure not just in sports but also in pop culture. And their mom, Donna Kelce, has gone from being a hardworking banker to a full-blown media personality. For decades, Donna kept things together behind the scenes, working full-time while also raising her sons and keeping the house running.
Jason has a deep respect for what their mom did for the family and says it’s exactly what he wants to pass on to his own kids. “The thing that I would love to instill in my kids is my mom’s work ethic and her dedication and sacrifice,” he said. “When you’re younger, you don’t realize a lot of that, but as you get older, Mom was working full-time jobs. She was cleaning a lot of the house. She was making a lot of the meals. I think at the time, it’s just your mom being mom, and you don’t realize everything that she’s doing so that you have opportunities and things to achieve your dreams.”
So yeah, while the headlines might scream glitz and glam, the Kelce-Swift crew is keeping it real. Whether it’s a quiet family moment or stepping away from the flash of fame, they’re leaning into authenticity, peace, and quality time. And Caitlin Clark? She’s hopeful her famous new friends will be cheering her on from the sidelines, or maybe from a beach, sipping drinks and living their best lives.
With Taylor recovering from her Eras Tour and Travis gearing up for another NFL season, this vacation mode won’t last forever. But right now, it’s a much-needed reset. No buzz, no fuss, just love, family, and chilling way out of the spotlight.
