Is Taylor Swift having a BABY? Revealed: her overheard date night conversation with Travis Kelce that will send fans into a frenzy

A little over two weeks ago, on the eve of the Super Bowl, Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce headed out for a pre-game date night, perhaps to settle the nerves.

After the Kansas City Chiefs tight end chivalrously pulled out a chair for his superstar girlfriend, fellow diners at Lilette – a trendy French restaurant near the Mississippi in New Orleans – spotted Kelce gently stroking Swift’s lower back.

Then, as the couple – who were joined for the evening by Kelce’s teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany – ordered burger and fries, conversation turned to an important topic: children.

‘There was lots of baby talk,’ a source told the Daily Mail, ‘since Patrick and Brittany have just had their latest [child], Brittany was showing pictures and they were all talking about how happy they were.’

It’s a delicious morsel of gossip that will no doubt send Swift’s army of devoted fans searching for meaning.

For now, with her 149-date, 21-month Eras Tour done and dusted, there has been much speculation over what the busiest woman in pop will do next.

The truth, as the Mail can reveal, may surprise those millions of fans who have become accustomed to a constant stream of new content.

Insiders say that Taylor, at the age of 35, is taking a ‘gap year’ and will be focusing on her relationship with Travis.

And there may be much to look forward to on that front: namely a Swift-Kelce marriage and perhaps even the patter of tiny feet.

Yes, sources close to Taylor confirm that she is ‘not against’ the idea of marriage and children.

‘Taylor’s friends believe that now is the perfect time in her life to marry and have children. They have expressed this to her, and she is not against it at all. Taylor has never felt love like this. It is unconditional,’ a source said.

‘Nothing will ever be able to trump the Eras tour and she is so proud of that, but it took a lot out of her,’ another insider revealed. ‘For the first time in years Taylor has no definitive plan, she is taking a year off. That means that she will not be doing any tours or shows. [Travis and Taylor] are both in it for the long haul and they both want the same things, which is a forever romance and a family.’

Taylor and Travis started dating in the summer of 2023, first meeting in New York before Taylor then attended his victorious Kansas City Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears at the Arrowhead Stadium, watching from the stands with his mother.

Since then, it’s been a whirlwind romance, followed obsessively by fans and the media alike. And the couple have certainly enjoyed playing to the crowd.

Last summer, Kelce appeared on stage at one of Taylor’s shows in London. On another occasion, the singer adapted her lyrics to shout out Kelce, who was watching in the crowd.

After a string of failed romances with the likes of actors Joe Alwyn and Tom Hiddleston, Taylor seems to have decided it’s time to settle down.

And her parents, Andrea and Scott Swift, couldn’t be happier.

One friend said: ‘Although there is no pressure, [Andrea and Scott] believe that Travis would make a great father.’

It’s a feeling that seems to be shared by the Kelce clan.

Travis’s parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, are said to be hopeful that the 35-year-old tight end will ‘settle down and have kids’.

Travis is reportedly ‘constantly compared to his older brother Jason’, who has three children with his wife Kylie, and another on the way.

‘Jason and Kylie want their kids to grow up with cousins,’ a family source said.

At 35, Travis is nearing the end of his glittering NFL career and will no doubt be planning for the future.

‘Travis and Taylor have both achieved everything that they ever wanted – massive success and enough money for ten lifetimes. The only thing that they do not have is a family of their own,’ a source said.

Taylor’s gap year may also see her step back from politics.

In both the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, Swift was vocally critical of Donald Trump, choosing instead to endorse Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and encouraging her fans to vote Democrat.

But now, sources close to her say she be will more tight-lipped going forward.

‘Taylor is not going to change her views ever, regardless of who is in office,’ a source said. ‘But the Eras tour taught Taylor a lot about the world and about America. She respects the fact that others do not share the same views as her.’
