Travis Kelce is urging his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, to significantly strengthen her security measures following a terrifying incident that nearly disrupted her Eras Tour in Austria. Earlier this month, authorities in Vienna arrested three teenagers who were plotting a terrorist attack targeting Swift’s performances in the city. The foiled plot led Swift to cancel her three scheduled shows in Austria, a decision that weighed heavily on her, especially given the tragic context of a separate incident in Southport, England, where three girls were fatally stabbed at a Swift-themed dance class.
Despite Swift’s deep regret over canceling the Austrian shows, Kelce, who was stateside preparing for the upcoming NFL season, is adamant that her safety should take precedence. According to reports, Kelce spent hours on the phone consoling Swift after the cancellations, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing her well-being.
An insider close to the couple revealed to Life and Style that Kelce has been strongly advising Swift to ramp up her security. “Travis is advising her to make her own safety a top priority and wants her to get even more security,” the source said. The Kansas City Chiefs star is deeply concerned for Swift’s safety, feeling helpless that he couldn’t be there to protect her in person. “He can’t do much else, aside from pray that she’ll be OK. It’s been so horrible, he hated having to sit back and do nothing but wait,” the insider added.

Kelce was reportedly relieved when Swift made the difficult decision to cancel her Austria tour dates. The source noted, “Money isn’t everything and Travis is proud of Taylor for doing the right thing and canceling her shows. Putting her life and the lives of her fans at risk simply isn’t worth it, no matter how disappointing it is for people or how much money it cost her.”
Swift, who recently concluded the European leg of her Eras Tour in London, now has a nearly two-month break before she resumes her performances in Florida. During this downtime, she is expected to attend the NFL season opener on September 5, where Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs will face the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium.
Swift has been a supportive presence at Kelce’s games, having cheered him on in 13 matches last season, including making a remarkable return from Tokyo to Las Vegas to witness his Super Bowl victory.
As Kelce and the Chiefs aim to make history this season by becoming the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowl titles, Swift is expected to spend more time in Kansas City, balancing her time between her own tour schedule and supporting Kelce’s football commitments.
Kelce is preparing for the season from his $6 million mansion in a gated community in Kansas City, where Swift is likely to spend significant time as their relationship continues to grow.
With both of their careers reaching new heights, Kelce’s priority remains clear: ensuring that Swift remains safe and secure as she continues to navigate her life in the spotlight.
