Change is on the horizon for Taylor and Travis.
It’s been over a year since their romance began, and Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce seem closer than ever. Yes, even with his whole mustache situation.
It’s understandable to see why. He’s so different from pretty much all of her exes – and that could end up being a very good thing.
Apparently, there’s a “countdown” to when Taylor and Travis become engaged.

Are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce engaged?
According to a new report by Page Six, a Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce engagement is all but inevitable.
Inside sources close to the couple characterize that “there is now a countdown to an engagement” for Taylor and Travis.
“Something people don’t really understand — and that’s by design — is how much courage Taylor has,” characterized one insider. This specific source is apparently “close to Swift’s inner circle.”

What does courage have to do with anything? A lot, it turns out — and not just because Taylor’s shows can be targets for terrorist plots.
She deals with virtually unparalleled levels of fame, has dangerous stalkers, and is a fixation for fascists and generic supervillains all over the world.
However, the report notes that Travis Kelce has brought Taylor Swift “a tremendous sense of peace.” His stability has apparently been refreshing — as not all past relationships helped her to feel this way.

How does Travis help Taylor feel secure?
“Just his physical presence,” an inside source explained. “She feels safer with him than anyone she’s ever known.
The report went on: “She knows he would do anything for her and physically she feels protected by him, and she loves that feeling. It’s a relatively new one for her, relationship-wise.”
The insider elaborated: “Travis is her protector in every sense of the word. He is going to make sure she is physically safe, and emotionally safe — he is not going to do anything careless or reckless with her.”

In other words, Travis Kelce makes Taylor Swift feel safe emotionally as well as physically. Though, to be clear, Taylor does have her own security to do the latter.
That makes sense. If you’ve ever picked your most gigantic friend — or been that gigantic friend — to walk back to your car after midnight, there’s a level of physical security.
That can easily translate to someone feeling like your emotional “rock” in a relationship. Especially if they have other positive personality traits.

So, when’s the big day?
Truth be told, even if everyone in Taylor’s life predicts that she and Travis will soon be engaged, that doesn’t mean that it’s true. Something could change. Something could happen.
Besides, we’re talking about a “countdown,” here. Some countdowns are seconds. Others, like to the release of the latest iteration in your favorite piece of media, can last for years.
Taylor and Travis have had a whirlwind romance. They could always find that 2025 or beyond are more “normal” years, and that could deepen their feelings or lead to them drifting apart.
