Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Cozy Up with New Puppy Amid Growing Relationship

It’s still cozy season for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, who have a whole new reason to cuddle up at home: a puppy! A source confirms the pop star and Kansas City Chiefs tight end have added to their fur baby brood, which famously includes Taylor’s three beloved cats. “They didn’t take this on lightly,” says the source. “Getting a new puppy requires a lot of teamwork, and it’s made their bond even stronger.” Travis’ brother, retired Eagles center Jason Kelce, first spilled about the new addition, joking on the Fitz & Whit podcast that the pup had chewed the fancy Italian couches at the 35-year-old’s Kansas City home. It’s a big change for proud cat lady Taylor, 35, who’s admitted she’s “obsessed” with her trio of felines. But the insider says the couple are happily nurturing the pooch together. “They’re saying this is practice for a baby!” adds the source. “They’re still playing coy about an engagement, but they’re beyond happy.”

Amid the duo’s post-Eras Tour, NFL-off-season downtime, Taylor’s been spending more time with Travis at his home, adds the source. “They’ve been playing house. It’s been fun after the busy couple of years they’ve had.”

After recently announcing his return for a 13th season with the Chiefs following their Super Bowl loss, Travis “has been pondering big things,” says the source. “Taylor wants to marry him, but she’s making a point not to rush it. They’re happy just cocooning with their new puppy.”
