Taylor Swift is sharing a bit more of her and Travis’s Kelce’s beautiful, beautiful life with fans.
In the first two episodes of the “Opalite” singer’s new Disney+ End of an Era documentary, she and the Kansas City Chiefs’ romance is on total, unfiltered display.
During the first episode, Taylor is rehearsing for Ed Sheeran’s surprise guest appearance when she receives a call from her man, quickly answering the phone and exclaiming, “Baby!”
And Travis makes it clear he’s impressed by Taylor’s ability to seamlessly add her longtime pal to the show when she tells him they’ll only get to briefly rehearse backstage.
“How are you guys so good?” Travis asks her. “You just do a little in the back room rehearsal and then go and do this live in front of everyone?”
Naturally, Taylor returns Travis’ flowers.
“I love you,” she tells him. “I don’t know. How do you remember 36,000 plays that are all tactical missions and then just go do it?”
Later in the call, Travis laments that his schedule is keeping him from seeing the show, saying, “I want to be there!”
“Why do you have to be in the NFL?” Taylor jokingly tells him. “I’m so excited. But have a great practice.”
To end the call, Travis tells her, “I love you so much, babe.”
And Taylor assures that the call lifted her spirits, adding, “Some people get a vitamin drip, I got this conversation.”
After Taylor performed the sold-out Wembley show, the first thing she did was call Travis again.
“It went so great,” she told him. “I’m so happy. I’m so relieved. Baby, it’s like the crowd knew that I needed a pick-me-up.”
She joked, “I was so happy, I thought I was going to forget how to play guitar and sing.”
Travis, meanwhile, has pushed back on the narrative that the couple are being too forthcoming with their relationship.
“Whenever I’m with her, it feels like we’re just regular people,” he told GQ in a profile published in August. “When there is not a camera on us, we’re just two people that are in love. It can be perceived as something else because of how much it is talked about and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out.”
As he put it, “It happened very organically even though from a media standpoint it was being tracked.”

Taylor Met With Southport Attack Survivors, Families of the Victims
In the first episode of The End of an Era, Taylor Swift addressed the cancellation of her Aug. 2024 concerts in Vienna, Austria, after they were targeted in a terror plot. (Two men were arrested in connection to the planned attack.)
"We've had a series of very violet, scary things happen to the tour," Taylor said. "We dodged, like, a massacre situation. And so, I've just been kind of all over the place."
The incident came just days after three children were killed in a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, England.
An emotional Taylor shared through tears, "I have a hard time explaining it."
Following the tragedy, Taylor privately met with survivors and families of the victims of the Southport attack backstage at her Wembley shows.
The docuseries captured Taylor and mom Andrea Swift in tears after one meeting, with Andrea telling her daughter, "I know you helped them. I know it doesn't seem like it but I know you helped them."
Taylor Told Ed Sheeran She Felt "Very Hunted"
Before taking the stage at Wembley Stadium after the recent tragedies, Taylor struggled with her nerves.
"I just need to do this show," she told pal Ed Sheeran backstage, "remember the joy of it."
Taylor went on to explain that after she wraps up her Wembley concerts she'll have two months off.
"I'm just gonna go somewhere no one can find me," she shared after Ed inquired about her plans. "I just don't want to be tracked like an animal. I just have felt very hunted lately."
Taylor Gave "Bonus Day" Checks to Her Tour Family
The End of an Era officially confirmed that "as each leg of the tour" concluded, Taylor gave bonuses to every crew member, dancer and musician.
"Bonus day is so important," Taylor noted, "because setting a precedent with The Eras Tour is really important to me."
"If the tour grosses more, they get more of a bonus," she continued. "And these people just work so hard and they are the best at what they do. So, every single person on the crew, I've handwritten them a note. It took me a couple weeks, but it's fun to write the notes."
And Taylor was on hand to deliver those notes, which brought her team to tears.
Travis Kelce Was "Scouring the Internet" During Eras Tour Shows
When Travis Kelce wasn't in the audience or onstage with Taylor, the NFL player was, like many fans, trying to find details about The Eras Tour shows online.
"I want to be there!" Travis told Taylor during a sweet phone call before her Wembley shows. "I'm gonna be scouring the internet."
Emma Stone Played a Role in The Eras Tour
While putting The Eras Tour together, Taylor turned to a longtime pal for guidance.
"With choreography, I asked one of my friends, Emma Stone, who's done a lot of work in dance in her films, 'Who have you worked with that you would recommend for this?'" Taylor recalled. "And she's like, 'There's only one person that needs to be on your list and it's Mandy Moore.'"
Choreographer Mandy Moore, not to be confused with actress Mandy Moore, worked with Emma on 2016's La La Land.
How Taylor Kept Eras Tour Surprises Under Wraps
To avoid any surprise songs or performances, like "Florida!!!" with Florence Welch, getting leaked, Taylor and her band would turn down the volume on the PA system during rehearsals and practice "quietly" so that fans waiting outside stadiums couldn't hear.
"It is so much extra work to keep things a surprise," Taylor said in "Magic of the Eras," the second episode of the docuseries. "Let me tell ya, I need a nap just thinking about it. But it's so worth it when we can actually pull it off."
