TAYLOR Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship is “getting serious” nearly one year after they began dating, as they’re reportedly house hunting in Italy’s Lake Como.
Taylor, 34, and Travis, 34, were seen enjoying a romantic getaway in Lake Como during the singer’s well-earned break in between her Eras tour shows.

The U.S. Sun has been told by an insider that the Kansas City Chiefs player loved the Italian hotspot so much that he took the Cruel Summer star on a three-property tour.
In our video report, which you can watch above, The U.S. Sun’s Exclusives reporter Steve Brenner and Entertainment Editor Teresa Roca react to the news, and break down what it means for the world’s favorite power couple.
“Both Travis and Taylor are keen to find somewhere to take a break from their hectic lives,” said Brenner.
“Lake Como is a bit different from walking around Manhattan or London.
“Of course, there will be attention on them wherever they are, but having a place in a little village will give them some much-needed respite.”
Roca added in the video above that the couple is serious about their romance, as The U.S. Sun previously reported their families came together to join Taylor when the European leg of her Eras tour kicked off in Paris, France on May 9.
Travis has mandatory practice in Kansas City in June, July and August ahead of the 2024 NFL season in September.
The European leg of the tour will wrap up in August with dates continuing in the United States and Canada.
According to Roca, the NFL released the 2024 schedule and Taylor is able to attend 14 of the 17 Kansas City Chiefs games.
Taylor made a nod to her boyfriend on her new album The Tortured Poets Department with songs like The Alchemy and So High School, as she even references “marrying” Travis in the latter song.
“Travis is definitely Taylor’s end game,” Roca said.
Our reporters have extensively been covering Taylor and Travis’ relationship and how their careers continue to flourish, which is also discussed in our video report.
While Taylor is selling out arenas all over the world, Travis is a celebrity in his own right, as he is known as the greatest tight end in football.
He also has his highly successful podcast New Heights and his annual festival Kelce Jam.
STUNNING SCENERY
The couple is picking Lake Como because the location has long been a favorite destination for Taylor.
The source also said the three-time Super Bowl-winning star was “mesmerized” by the location and “fell in love with the beauty and atmosphere” of the area, situated 25 miles north of Milan.
“I have rarely seen him like this,” revealed the insider.
The U.S. Sun has seen all three properties on their radar – and can confirm they are all stunning.
The first one is a 5,381-square-foot, four-bed, four-bath residence with breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding areas.

Built in 1800 in the village of Bellagio, the “unique independent period villa is in a dominant position with a splendid lake view,” gushed the realtor’s description.
“The pedestrian access to the property, with a pleasant internal path, partly with pergola and a base in local stone, is situated in a private park of about 1400 square meters bordering the garden of Villa Serbelloni.”
The property is worth $3.2million.
The villa has a rustic feel with many of the original finishes, including decorated ceilings and fireplaces to create a “timeless atmosphere inside the property.”
On the ground floor, Taylor can work on new music in a violin room and enjoy a drink in the wine cellar.
Three bedrooms are on the first floor, while the kitchen and main living areas are on the second.
The second floor also has access to an outdoor dining area and more views.
Taylor has been great at showing Travis new places – it’s a perfect way to spend time together away from their intense lives!
Kelce InsiderPERFECT GETAWAY
The next option is Villa Croce in the village of Menaggio.
This property comes in at a cheaper $1.7million and has three beds and two baths.
The property is larger, as it spans 7,212 square feet.
Nestled near the prestigious Golf Club Menaggio Cadenabbia, the real estate website urges prospective buyers to “discover a love story at Villa Croce in Menaggio, where every detail whispers tales of timeless elegance and beauty.
“A hidden gem in Menaggio, one of the most sought-after locations along the shores of Lake Como, where the air is washed with the sweet scent of romance and sophistication.”

Upon entry, guests are greeted with a large, open-plan living space “bathed in ethereal natural light streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows, painting every room in a soft, enchanting glow.”
The property is more modern than the first, but still provides ample space outside to lap up the breathtaking vistas.
“Picture yourself here, savoring a glass of fine Italian wine, feeling the embrace of your very own Italian home as it whispers sweet promises of comfort, elegance, and everlasting memories,” according to the realtor’s description.
“Allow Villa Croce to be the canvas for your greatest love story on the shores of magical Lake Como.”
The third property is the most expensive, coming in at a pricey $7.4million.
The three-bed, three-bath villa is only accessible by boat, to give the property a private retreat feel.
“Approaching by boat, the silhouette of the villa emerges like a masterpiece against the backdrop of the shimmering waters,” said the official description.
“The journey itself becomes a prelude to the tranquility that awaits, creating an atmosphere of anticipation and wonder.”
HISTORIC AREA
“After leaving the boat at the private buoy or dock, you are greeted by a large lush garden, a green carpet of manicured lawns, fragrant flowers, and ancient trees,” the realtor continues.
“The villa’s architecture recounts the past history of Lake Como, when quarrymen dug into the mountain to extract stones to build villas and churches.”
Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living space allow for stunning views of Lake Como.
Meanwhile, the outdoor dining area appears to be the perfect place to either relax or host friends.
The U.S. Sun reported last year how the couple had begun to look at places in Portugal and Spain.
[Travis was] mesmerizied. I have rarely seen him like this.

But according to the insider, their latest Italy trip has reignited his dream to have a cozy, sumptuous hideaway to help rest and unwind away from their whirlwind careers.
“It’s such a beautiful place, very peaceful, very romantic, a very nice gateway during her intense Euro part of the tour,” the source confirmed.
“They also took a bit of time to look into real estate, as many celebrities own houses and properties there.
“They like to do simple things, to relax, to spend days being by themselves and chill at home, so that location would be a perfect nest for them if one of them decides to buy a property there. ”
“Travis really loves this kind of place, and he was so happy that they could share that Italian getaway together,” added the person who is close to the Kelce family.
“They want those moments, they love being together and discovering the world.
“Taylor has been great at showing Travis new places – it’s a perfect way to spend time together away from their intense lives!”
PAST LOVES
The romance comes after Taylor’s six-year relationship with actor Joe Alwyn ended in the spring of 2023.
The video above also goes into her past relationships, including her brief romance with British singer Matt Healy after her split from Joe.
The two ended their fling in June 2023 and Matt is the subject of many of her songs on The Tortured Poets Department.
Travis put Taylor on blast on his podcast New Heights in the summer of 2023 because he was unable to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it at one of her concerts.
The two ultimately connected and went public with their romance at a Chiefs game in September 2023.
Taylor revealed in an interview that they were already a couple at the time of the game.
Taylor famously made it to the Superbowl in February 2024 after flying from a show in Japan.
