Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce defy critics with ultimate plan to stay together

Taylor Swift is back in the U.S. after wrapping up her European tour while Travis Kelce's NFL season is gearing up again with the Kansas City Chiefs. With the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, the couple has reportedly worked out a plan to stay connected as their schedules ramp up.

Swift is also preparing to return to her tour later this year, starting with a string of shows in Miami in October. With Kelce's football commitments keeping him tied to the Chiefs, it's unlikely he'll be able to attend many of her upcoming performances.

Expected to attend Chiefs vs Ravens

Despite their busy schedules, Swift is expected to be in the stands this Thursday to cheer Kelce on during the Chiefs' opener at Arrowhead Stadium. After her four-month European tour, Swift was seen reuniting with Kelce in Rhode Island, a brief pause before their careers take center stage again.

"Taylor and Travis' summer of love is over and now they're having to adjust to being long distance lovers once again," a source said according to Life and Style.

"He's back on the field and she's continuing her tour, but they have a plan, and some rules, on how they'll keep their relationship fresh.

"They're not nervous about their romance getting stale. In fact, they're very confident in what they have. They plan on doing FaceTime daily and will continue to fly out to see each other when their schedules open up.

"Romantic dates are a must, even if it's just for a few hours. Either at out-of-the-way restaurants or holed in their hotel room with room service or their favorite takeout.

"Taylor and Travis have perfected staying connected regardless of their busy lifestyles, proving that nothing, especially distance, can keep them apart."
