Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour – now updated with songs from The Tortured Poets Department – is in full swing in Europe right now. She schedules her European dates like she scheduled the rest of the tour though, usually with back-to-back concerts over the weekend, then the week off. So, after Taylor’s Paris shows and before her Stockholm show, Taylor and Travis Kelce traveled to Como, Italy, one of the playgrounds for the rich. Taylor and Travis ended up having a very romantic little mini-break:
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made sweet memories in Europe! A source shared details with PEOPLE about the couple’s intimate getaway in Lake Como, Italy, during Swift’s short break between Eras Tour shows. From late-night strolls, to a day touring Lake Como on a boat, the power couple made the most of their “four relaxing days of rest” this week.
“On the first night, they went for a long walk around the lake late at night [between 11 and midnight],” the source said about Swift and Kelce, both 34. “It was very romantic. At times they would walk hand in hand. They would also exchange a kiss every so often.”
The vacation began just a day after Swift’s fourth and final Eras Tour show in Paris, France, on Sunday, May 12, which Kelce attended along with Swift’s mother Andrea and their friends Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper.
On the last day of the trip, Friday, May 17, the couple toured Lake Como on a boat, an experience the “Fortnight” singer wanted to remember forever.
“[Swift] got on the boat along the side and then went right away to the front and started taking photos of him,” the insider revealed. “It was clear that she was trying to capture the moment for posterity, and the cute thing was that she didn’t use a phone but a little Olympus camera.”
After a nearly two-hour boat ride near the village of Bellagio in the rain, the couple reportedly docked the boat and shared a meal at Locanda La Tirlindana, a restaurant in front of Comacina Island. The restaurant serves local cuisine like fresh pastas and artisan desserts.
“They were very affectionate with each other, always close and hugging,” the source told PEOPLE about the couple’s final day in Italy.
“She didn’t use a phone but a little Olympus camera.” Wow, that source sounds like they were there. I would love it if Taylor brought back real photography and all of the Swifties started buying actual cameras too. I’m sure they enjoyed their minibreak – Travis flew back to Kansas City soon after to host his annual “Kelce Jam” thing.
Oh, and Entertainment Tonight had an interesting story about how Gigi Hadid and Taylor Swift are especially close these days because they’re both so in love with their men (Bradley Cooper and Trav, respectively). A source told ET: “Taylor and Travis are doing amazing, and their loved ones see an engagement coming sooner than later. They make a great match and there’s no question about that.” I mean, months ago, sources said that Travis and Taylor would announce their engagement this summer. Will it actually happen? I don’t know. We’ll see. The fact that she’s singing all of these songs about Matt Healy at every concert makes me wonder.
