Travis Kelce has supported the pop superstar throughout her ordeal, a source tells PEOPLE
Taylor Swift recently closed one of the most important chapters of her career — and having Travis Kelce by her side made the emotional milestone even more meaningful.
“Reclaiming her masters has been emotional and empowering. She’s proud, relieved, and finally feels like a chapter has closed in the best possible way. Having Travis by her side for that milestone made it even more special,” a source tells PEOPLE exclusively.
After years of public battles over ownership, the Grammy-winning star, 35, announced in an Instagram post on May 30 that she bought back her music catalog, giving her control of her first six albums.

The journey has been long and deeply personal for the pop icon, and one she didn’t have to face alone. Kelce “was honored to support her and he wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.”
According to the source, the couple is “incredibly happy and in sync. There’s a calmness and ease to their relationship right now that’s been really grounding for Taylor and Travis.”
Following the wrap of her record-breaking Eras Tour, Swift has been taking a well-deserved break and spending it with Kelce. The twosome have been making the most of their quieter summer together, enjoying time away from the spotlight.
The couple has been spotted in the West Village during their time in Manhattan, often opting for low key date nights and cozy dinners with friends. In Nashville, they’ve spent time with Swift’s family and inner circle, staying mostly out of the public eye.
“Taylor and Travis are soaking up every minute of this slower season together. They’ve been splitting their time between New York, Nashville, and a few quiet getaways, just enjoying each other’s company without all the usual chaos.”
The summer pause has given them a chance to reconnect outside of their high-profile schedules and it’s strengthened their relationship in new ways.

“This kind of downtime is rare for both of them, and it’s really allowed their bond to deepen,” says the source. “It’s been a turning point for their relationship in a lot of ways.”
As PEOPLE previously reported, for the first time since the duo started dating in the summer of 2023, Swift is heading into an NFL season without the demands of a global tour.
“Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season. Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she’s not juggling a packed tour schedule,” a source told PEOPLE at the time.
“This fall will be completely different,” the insider said. “It’s the first season where she’s not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar.”
“The past two seasons were a whirlwind between performing across multiple countries, long flights, and trying to squeeze in alone time together wherever possible,” the source said. “It wasn’t easy but they made it work.”
