Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce reportedly asked his girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift, for permission before sharing several photos on his Instagram account.

"He ran every single image by her," an insider revealed to Rob Shuter as part of his #ShuterScoop Substack. "He didn’t want to post anything she wasn't 100% comfortable with. He respects her privacy—always has."

"He's proud of her — but more importantly, he wants her to feel safe," the source added.

Kelce shared several photos with Swift as part of an Instagram carousel post with the caption,

"Had some adventures this offseason, kept it 💯."

The post included multiple photos of Kelce and Swift, both 35, in matching outfights, gathered with friends and family, which included an apparent vacation with FOX Sports hosts Charissa Thompson and Erin Andrews and their significant others.

“We’re so protective of them and their privacy and what they deserve, so that’s why we never said anything or never planned on saying anything,” Andrews said on her and Thompson's Calm Down podcast released on Monday (July 28). “… I will say this, our group, the six of us, we had a time.”

Kelce also shared photos with his brother, retired former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, their parents, Ed and Donna Kelce, and fellow current tight ends George Kittle and Brock Bowers alongside retired tight ends Greg Olsen and Jeremy Shockey, from Tight End University. The three-time Super Bowl champion famously revealed that he attempted to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number when he attended her concert at Arrowhead Stadium prior to their relationship in 2023.

Swift later said that Kelce "very adorably put me on blast" when he acknowledged the situation on his podcast, which she said "was metal as hell" while being featured as Time Magazine's 'Person of the Year' in December 2023. Kelce, who mulled retirement this past offseason, will return for his 13th NFL season months removed from the Chiefs falling short of what would've been the first Super Bowl three-peat in NFL history, having won three of the last five.
