Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are settling into married life, but their demanding careers appear to be putting a new strain on their time together. The newlyweds reportedly enjoyed a short period of quiet after their July wedding before Kelce returned to football commitments with the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, with the NFL season approaching, Swift is said to be missing the time they once had together. Still, the singer reportedly understands the demands of Kelce's career and has no plans to pressure him over his schedule.
Taylor Swift reportedly frustrated by Travis Kelce's NFL schedule
According to a report from the Daily Mail cited by the original report, Taylor Swift has found the change in routine difficult. Travis Kelce is currently focused on training and preparing for another NFL campaign, leaving less room for the couple to spend time together.
The situation is particularly noticeable because their marriage is still new. After spending more time together following their wedding, the return to a demanding football schedule has reportedly created a sharp contrast.
Swift is said to be frustrated by how much time football requires from her husband. However, that reportedly has not turned into conflict between them. Instead, the couple appears to be trying to make their limited time count.
The report claims they remain committed to seeing each other each week, even when their professional obligations keep them in different places. That arrangement may become especially important as the Chiefs enter the regular season and Kelce's football calendar becomes even more demanding.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reportedly giving each other space
Despite the reported frustration, Swift is said to recognize that both she and Kelce have careers that require significant time and attention. Rather than asking him to step away from football, she is reportedly keeping busy with her own professional commitments.
The source said: “They just deal with it. They know they both have massive careers, and they love what they do, so they give each other freedom.”
Swift recently appeared at the Grammy Museum, where she performed “I Knew You, I Knew You.” She could also have another major public appearance on her calendar with the Emmy ceremony scheduled for September 14.
That could affect whether she attends the Chiefs' season opener against the Denver Broncos in Kansas City. Regardless of where they are on a given night, the reports suggest that the newlyweds are approaching married life with an understanding of the pressures that come with being two of the most recognizable names in entertainment and sports.
