Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been separated by distance but certainly not by heart. As Taylor continues her massive Eras Tour across Europe, and Travis gears up for the upcoming NFL season in the U.S., the couple makes sure to stay connected through frequent communication.

A source reveals, “Taylor and Travis always prioritize each other even when they are physically apart. They are in constant communication, texting and FaceTiming each other.”

The source adds that the pair remains “very affectionate with each other even when they’re apart.” One way Travis shows his affection is by lavishing Taylor with heartfelt gifts. “Travis sends Taylor flowers and loves to shower her with surprise gifts and tokens of gratitude,” the source says. “Their connection is unlike anything they’ve ever experienced before.”

It’s been over a year since Kelce revealed on his New Heights podcast that he had tried to give Taylor his phone number when attending her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City, Missouri. Since then, Taylor, 34, has supported her boyfriend by attending numerous NFL games. She made her debut in the suites of Arrowhead Stadium in September and was also present when Kelce and the Chiefs won the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers.

On his part, Kelce, also 34, has made several appearances at Taylor’s Eras Tour during his off-time from football. He even made a cameo performance on stage at London’s Wembley Stadium in June and was most recently seen attending her July 18 show in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

Taylor is set to wrap up the European leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour with five nights at Wembley Stadium, beginning August 15. This will be her first show since a thwarted terrorist attack led to the cancellation of her planned performances in Vienna, Austria, earlier this month.

She will return to the stage on October 18 to kick off another North American leg at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida.

Meanwhile, Kelce’s pre-season with the Chiefs continues with matchups against the Detroit Lions on August 17 and the Chicago Bears on August 22. The Chiefs’ home opener is set for September 5 against the Baltimore Ravens.

A source told ET in May that the couple has been committed to making things work despite their packed schedules. “He’s a very supportive partner, as is she. The two make it a point to celebrate each other’s achievements and show up when it matters most,” the source said.

In June, a source explained to ET how Taylor and Travis navigate their long-distance relationship. “Taylor and Travis make sure that the current long-distance aspect of their relationship doesn’t last very long,” the source said. “They both move their schedules around if it’s feasible and try to carve out as much time as they can to see each other, as well as each other’s families and friends.”

The source added, “They prioritize each other and do anything and everything to make each other happy. Their relationship is genuine, and they both want to make it work, so it does.”
