Taylor Swift ‘fits in seamlessly’ with Travis Kelce’s family, who ‘don’t see her as a superstar’ when they spend time with her, according to reports.
Swift has attended 12 of Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs games this season, and is now expected to make it 13 – her lucky number – at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas in less than a fortnight’s time.
The popstar has become close with Kelce’s parents – Ed and Donna – at the games and regularly sits with them in the suite.
Despite reports of an ‘awkward’ relationship with brother Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie, they seemed to be getting on well at both of the Chiefs’ last two playoff games.
And, according to an insider for People, the couple are ‘genuinely happy’ together and part of the reason is how Swift fits in with his family and loved ones.

They said: ‘It’s obvious, isn’t it? They’re genuinely happy together. She’s there to support him and cheer him on, and she’s fit in seamlessly with everyone he loves.’
The source added that his family ‘don’t see her as “Taylor Swift” the superstar’ when she’s around them because of her down to earth personality.
The Chiefs secured their spot in a fourth Super Bowl in five years on Sunday with a 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens.
Kelce was in incredible form once again, catching all 11 passes thrown his way – and he opened the scoring with a touchdown, too.
It means they will take on the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas on February 11 and the presence of Swift is expected to take the NFL’s showpiece game to even greater heights.
The insider continued: ‘It (Sunday) was the best night ever. The whole family was so, so excited and riding a high.
‘Their phones were blowing up all night with congrats. The energy on the field was just insane.
‘To be going to Vegas now is indescribable. Having his family there, all his best friends and managers, and of course, Taylor, celebrating with him was very special.’

Sunday was the first time cameras have caught the pair publicly declaring their love
Immediately after the Chiefs’ huge win in Baltimore, Swift came down to the field and the pair shared a very public and passionate kiss, with the world’s cameras upon them.
In that immediate embrace, it has been suggested that Taylor said ‘I love you’ to Travis without him verbally reciprocating the gesture.
But a new clip has now surfaced, with the NFL’s microphones following Kelce around the field, in which he does indeed say the L-word to his girlfriend.
Meeting her for a second time on the field, Travis approaches Taylor to say: ‘Tay, I’m going to enjoy with the guys’… before kissing her again and declaring: ‘I love you.’
The high-profile pair then share a tight hug, before Swift tries to create some privacy by whispering something into Kelce’s ear. As the pair break apart, she then says ‘EVER’.
It was the first time cameras have caught the pair publicly declaring their love for each other, with their relationship now four months old.
