Taylor Swift is preparing for a low-key holiday season, focusing on family time and personal reflection as she celebrates Christmas with her fiancé, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs. Following a private Thanksgiving, Swift has chosen to slow down and savor this festive period, according to a source speaking to Us Weekly on December 17.
The source noted that this time of year holds special significance for Swift, describing it as her “favorite time of year with the holidays and her birthday.” The singer has reportedly been engaging in activities such as cooking and spending quality time with family, creating space to enjoy her engagement.
As Christmas approaches, both Swift and Kelce are taking a deliberate approach to their holiday plans. They aim to keep celebrations “very low-key, family-centric and without any major travel,” a sentiment echoed by the insider. This approach reflects their desire to minimize stress during the busy holiday season.
On December 14, Swift was seen attending Kelce’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, indicating her support for the Chiefs as they prepare for a home game on Christmas Day. Family members from both sides joined her for this occasion. Notably, her mother and Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, along with his siblings, Kylie and Jason Kelce, were present, emphasizing the importance of family during this festive time.
Swift has been strategic about sharing aspects of her relationship with Kelce. Although fans have not seen photos from past Christmases, she was photographed at his Christmas Day game in 2023. In the previous year, she did not attend Kelce’s away game, preferring to maintain a presence at home games for security reasons. A source noted in October 2024 that Swift is cautious about attending events unless she is familiar with the venue and it has been properly secured.
In addition to her holiday plans, Swift is giving back to her fans with the release of two new episodes of her docuseries, The End of an Era, which will debut on December 19 on Disney+.
While details about her future career plans remain limited, sources indicate that Swift is contemplating her next steps. The insider mentioned that she “always has ideas percolating,” though she is not currently committed to another tour for her album The Life of a Showgirl. Instead, she appears to be enjoying a well-deserved break during this festive season.
As the holiday festivities unfold, Swift’s focus on family and personal time highlights a refreshing shift towards a more relaxed and meaningful celebration, contrasting with the often hectic nature of celebrity life.
