In a move that's got social media buzzing, Kelce has upgraded his lifestyle, thanks in part to his relationship with Swift. According to reports, he recently spent a little under $6 million on a stunning mansion in Kansas City, closing the deal on Thursday.

The tight end's new property is said to be located in a gated community and boasts sheer luxury, and it features six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and more than 16,000 square feet of living space. The property also includes a mini-golf course, a pool with a waterfall, and a tennis and pickleball court. 

The decision to upgrade was based on a desire for more privacy, as sources told TMZ that Kelce's previous residence didn't quite meet Swift's standards. It was considered too accessible and had become a tourist attraction, with people stopping by and even staking out the property.

This led to the Kansas City Chiefs player feeling uncomfortable with the situation. The issue became particularly apparent this past weekend when his partner Swift visited him and paparazzi parked outside, waiting to capture images of them.

Kelce's change of environment comes on the heels of The Blast reporting on dispelled rumors that he and the "You Belong With Me" singer planned to move in together. The speculations claimed that the lovebirds were house-hunting together in Kansas City, Missouri, which is where Kelce originated from. 

While Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce have been in the headlines for weeks, their relationship became more public when they were seen holding hands on their way to dinner in NYC last weekend. 

The twosome has since grabbed dinner together multiple times, and Swift has shown up at two more of her boyfriend's NFL games. Following their most recent New York City date night, a source familiar with the situation stated that "Taylor's unlike anyone Travis has dated before." In the words of the insider:

"It was very unexpected for his friends, but he's so into her and very, very happy. Some people thought he was just joking around about the bracelet and having a crush on her earlier this summer, but he was serious about it. Everyone's getting along and seeing how much fun they have together. They make a very cute couple."

Still, on the duo's NYC date, The Blast observed that Travis shared some interesting details about the outing during an episode of his podcast "New Heights," which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce.

Opening up the conversation with his brother, who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles, Tavis said he felt himself feeling "protective" of Swift during the date. When asked by Jason about putting his hand on a security guard's back, Travis explained that he did so to show respect, not to push the guard.

The Philadelphia Eagles star then questioned his younger brother, "Have you had to enact any security of your own? Do you feel like you're a security guard when you are with Taylor?" In response, the two-time Super Bowl Champion said:

"I feel like whenever I'm on a date, I'm always having the sense that I'm a man in the situation. I'm protective, yeah, for sure. You always have to have that feeling or self-awareness, I guess."

Meanwhile, one insider had spilled some tea about the romantic date, sharing that Kelce kept "going over and touching [Swift], putting his hand on her lower back or putting his hands on her waist, and then they would do a little kiss, and then they would go back to talking to whoever they were talking to."

They added that even though the Cleveland Heights alum "kept checking in with her," he also "gave her space to talk to other people in the room, both male and female, and he talked to a ton of people in the room, too."
