Their romance may just be a month along, but things seem to be getting serious fast between Taylor Swift (33) and Travis Kelce (24).

Word is that the pop superstar is falling hard for the handsome NFL star despite her best attempts to “keep it together”, sources say.

“Taylor is blown away right now and her family is all about Travis. She is trying to keep it together, but she's obviously falling in love with him and he feels the same way,” an insider dished.

The two have been enjoying frequent rendezvous in recent weeks and were snapped holding hands on a night out in New York last week.

But with their romance comes the ever-present paparazzi and Travis has reportedly snapped up a $6 million mansion in a gated community in Kansas City where he is based, so he and Taylor can have more privacy. 

The Shake It Off singer, whose recent Eras tour is set to become one of the biggest concert tours in history with projected earnings of over $4 billion, has apparently been bowled over by her beau’s gentlemanly ways.

“It was not her typical, ‘Hey, you're hot, let's go out’, sorta thing. He actually courted her and she feels like she is the luckiest gal in the world right now.”

At a recent night out Travis reportedly told her bodyguard that he would be “taking over” protecting Tay-Tay.

Taylor’s parents, who are said to be “super harsh critics” when it comes to their famous daughter’s love life, have apparently given him their stamp of approval, while his family is said to adore her too.

Taylor was recently seen seated next to Travis's mom, Donna Kelce, when his team, the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Chicago Bears in Kansas City, Missouri.

The songbird cheered and clapped for her athlete beau, who recently shared in an episode of his brother’s podcast, New Heights with Jason Kelce, how he first tried to get the pop star’s attention.

He presented her with a friendship bracelet with his number on it after one of her concerts and said he “took it personally” when she didn’t agree to meet him after the show.

He later invited her instead to one of his games, an offer she accepted.

The tradition of trading friendship bracelets at Tay-Tay's concerts is inspired by the lyrics of her song You're on Your Own, Kid from her latest album, Midnights. In it she sings about making friendship bracelets as a way to connect with others.

Taylor’s chequered love life has long been the stuff of tabloid fodder.

In April she shocked her fans when she called it quits with her boyfriend of six years, British actor Joe Alwyn, who many thought she would marry, before embarking on a brief fling with 1975 frontman, Matt Healy.

Over the years her high-profile relationships, with the likes of pop star Harry Styles, actor Tom Hiddleston, rocker John Mayer, dance producer Calvin Harris and Jonas Brothers star Joe Jonas, have made for plenty of juicy headlines.
