Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s New Dating Era Is Allegedly ‘Totally Sickening’ to Them, Sources Claim
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have become one of the most talked-about celebrity couples of all time, but their intense attachment has raised some eyebrows, to put it gently. For those who are somehow magically unaware, the “Shake It Off” singer and Super Bowl-winning tight end have been inseparable since they started dating in July 2023, when Kelce first showed up to one of Swift’s Eras tour shows. Whether it’s Kelce joining Swift on stage at Wembley Stadium or Swift cheering on the NFL star at his games (or post-game celebrations), it seems these two can hardly stand being apart. However, sources claim this level of codependency might be more problematic than romantic.
Their lavish lifestyle includes private jets, high-end hotels, and constant travel — it seems no expense is spared to keep them together. The couple’s extravagant spending is off the charts, with the two reportedly spending around $100,000 each day, largely on private travel and security, to keep the love alive. Swift alone has over 20 bodyguards who get paid more than a thousand dollars a day. Plus, since they met, they’ve both spent over a million dollars on private jets. Despite their financial capabilities to make almost any romantic getaway or gesture a reality, insiders suggest that such extravagance could point to deeper issues within their relationship.

“They’ve both gotten so codependent the idea that they won’t see each other for even a few weeks is totally sickening for them,” an insider revealed to Life & Style.
Codependency occurs when someone becomes overly dependent on their partner for emotional support and validation, leading to an unhealthy relationship dynamic. This can result in intense separation anxiety and jealousy. While passion and attachment are normal, excessive dependency can cause significant stress.

For Swift, it seems the fear of other women trying to get Kelce is particularly unsettling. “Taylor is especially freaked out because she’s always got this fear of other women trying to get at Travis hanging over her head,” the source explained. “She trusts him and he’s not done anything to make her worry, but the reality is he’s a guy and there’s always temptation.”
This anxiety is mutual. “Travis seems to be just as threatened by all the guys around Taylor,” the insider shared. “He knows he has a woman that many men would kill for a chance with, and he hates leaving her side.” Despite their mutual trust, their relationship shows signs of strain under public scrutiny.
As Swift continues her tour in Europe, the couple faces the challenge of long-distance. “Obviously, he can’t skip out on training camp to follow her around and he doesn’t have more than a day off at a time,” the source added. “She’s got tour dates in Europe for the next month before she gets a nice long break, so it would make sense for her to just stay put and finish all her dates and do long distance with him for a few weeks.”
However, both are struggling with the concept. “They’re both freaking out over having to take a break and she’s talking about flying back to see him even if she has just a day or two off,” another source noted to the publication. Swift, who has often faced criticism for her extensive use of private jets, is willing to fly all night just to spend a few hours with her NFL beau. “It’s totally childish and ridiculous to waste that sort of jet fuel and time, but she’s got the means to make it happen and they’re so addicted to each other no doubt she’ll go ahead and do it, even if people are going to tear into her for being an environmental menace,” the insider added.
Despite celebrating their one-year anniversary this summer, questions remain about the sustainability of their intense connection. “If their relationship is as solid as they say it is, that shouldn’t be such a big deal,” the insider concluded. There have definitely been reports of jealousy on both sides, and it seems like this intense need to constantly be near each other — even if it racks up a six to seven-figure price tag — is the top priority.
