Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce opted for a quieter, more intimate celebration to ring in 2025, swapping the glitz and glam of parties for a romantic evening in Kansas City, Mo. Despite their busy schedules, the couple ensured they were together to welcome the new year, a source exclusively told Page Six.
The insider revealed that Swift, 35, and Kelce, 35, spent the days leading up to New Year’s Eve in New York City. The couple was spotted enjoying a date night in Manhattan, adding another chapter to their whirlwind romance. However, the pair flew back to Kansas City on Monday, as Kelce’s football commitments required him to return for practice on Dec. 30 and Jan. 1.
“Travis also had a New Heights podcast taping,” the source explained to Page Six, referring to the popular show he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce. “Even with his tight schedule, they made time to spend New Year’s Eve together.”
The couple reportedly shared a tender midnight kiss to welcome 2025. “It was very romantic,” the insider added, highlighting the low-key nature of their evening. Reps for Swift and Kelce have not yet commented on their New Year’s plans.

A Different Celebration This Year
The cozy celebration marked a departure from the way Swift and Kelce rang in 2024. Last year, the pair hosted a lively bash in Kansas City, surrounded by family and friends. The couple, who went public with their relationship in September 2023, were photographed sharing a passionate kiss during the festive gathering.
Their quieter New Year’s Eve followed a string of recent outings that had fans buzzing. Just days before, the couple attended a birthday party for Swift’s friend, Ashley Avignone, at the exclusive members-only social club Chez Margaux in New York City’s Meatpacking District.
Braving the rain, Swift and Kelce were seen holding hands as they arrived at the venue, further cementing their status as one of Hollywood’s most talked-about couples.
A Year of Love and Milestones
Since publicly confirming their relationship, Swift and Kelce have become a power couple, balancing their busy professional lives with their burgeoning romance. Swift, who wrapped up her record-breaking Eras Tour, and Kelce, who has been dominating on the football field with the Kansas City Chiefs, have consistently made time for each other despite their hectic schedules.
From attending Chiefs games together to jet-setting across the country for dates, the pair has shown a strong commitment to making their relationship work. Their shared New Year’s Eve in Kansas City seems to reflect their focus on spending meaningful, quality time together as they embark on another year of love and milestones.
For fans, the couple’s romantic midnight moment is another reason to celebrate their favorite duo’s evolving love story as they continue to grow both individually and together.
