Amid a highly-publicized budding romance with NFL star Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift recently chose to maintain a lower profile, according to ELLE.

After attending two of Kelce's consecutive NFL games, she conspicuously skipped the Kansas City Chiefs' match against the Minnesota Vikings, a move confirmed by the NFL shortly after the game commenced.

Furthermore, Taylor Swift was notably absent from the birthday celebration of her supposed beau, Travis Kelce, last week.

While speculation had arisen that Swift had traveled to be with him after her departure from New York City just before the big day, Kelce was photographed socializing with friends in a stadium parking lot in Kansas City, Missouri, before returning to a training facility.

Sources close to the couple revealed a shift towards privacy in their relationship.

A statement made on September 28 explained, "When Taylor and Travis first connected, Taylor was looking to have fun while enjoying some downtime. So far, it's been a nice change of pace for her. As things progress between Taylor and Travis, they're both looking to keep it more private. They're both excited about where things are headed."

Travis Kelce echoed this sentiment during his New Heights podcast on September 27, emphasizing the importance of respecting their individual lives and maintaining discretion.

"I want to respect both of our lives. She's not in the media as much as I am doing this show every single week... I'm enjoying life, and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend, so everything moving forward, I think me talking about sports... will kind of have to be where I keep it," he remarked.

While Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may be opting for a lower profile, their mutual enthusiasm remains evident.

Travis Kelce Suffers Injury During Game Taylor Swift Skipped

During the televised game on CBS, it was confirmed that Taylor Swift was notably absent from the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she had been present for Kelce's previous two games.

Regrettably, Travis Kelce, who had to endure the absence of his rumored girlfriend, sustained a non-contact injury on the field, appearing to trip on the turf, per Billboard.

Kelce left the field briefly, removing his helmet and proceeding to the locker room.

He returned to the sideline with his right ankle securely wrapped, with commentator Tracy Wolfson providing updates and explaining that Kelce was determined to continue playing despite the injury.

Medical staff cleared him to rejoin the game, and shortly after his return, Kelce scored a touchdown, showcasing his commitment to his team.

Travis Kelce's Social Media Posts Spark Speculation

In the aftermath of the Chiefs' victory against the Vikings, Travis Kelce took to social media to share photos from the game.

However, what caught the attention of fans was his caption, "Keep it chill like Sauvignon Blanc," which drew swift recognition as a Taylor Swift reference, said Yahoo! Entertainment.

While neither party has officially confirmed an exclusive relationship, they continue to engage playfully with their fans.

It was not the first time Kelce seemingly hinted at their relationship, as he addressed the media attention by stating, "You gotta enjoy the madness."

Despite the ongoing speculation and fan engagement, both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce appear content to keep the details of their relationship relatively private.
