Taylor Swift enjoyed a wonderful weekend at her Rhode Island mansion with her close friends.
According to an exclusive source, “Taylor has been on tour and working tirelessly, and she loves the Rhode Island house. She wanted to spend some time there while the weather is still nice to enjoy it.” On August 24, Swift, was spotted outside her East Coast residence, known as the Holiday House, with her boyfriend Travis Kelce. They were joined by his Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany, along with friends including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Gigi Hadid, and Bradley Cooper. Travis’ brother Jason Kelce also attended with his wife Kylie and their three children.
The insider noted that the weekend gathering was a “preplanned celebration” organized by Swift to coincide with the conclusion of the European leg of her Eras Tour, which she wrapped up with five shows at Wembley Stadium in London. This weekend also served as a birthday celebration for Lively, as the group came together to enjoy the property and relax.
“It felt wonderful to be grounded back home again,” the insider shared. “It’s been grounding to see friends and family and spend quality time with everyone, catching up on each other’s lives since she has been so busy and disconnected.”
This weekend marked the first time Swift was seen publicly with Travis, whom she has been dating since summer 2023, since he went off to Chiefs training camp. “She was so happy to reunite with him and just be together,” the source said.
Swift began her Eras Tour in March 2023, celebrating her past and present albums, with the European leg running throughout the summer as she performed in cities like Paris and Munich. Travis attended shows in between his NFL commitments, even joining Swift on stage during one of her June concerts at Wembley.
Travis shared that he jokingly suggested to Taylor, “How funny would it be if I just rolled out on one of the bikes during the 1989 section?” and noted that she laughed and asked if he would actually do something like that. “I would love to do that, are you kidding me?” he recalled during an episode of his “New Heights” podcast, expressing excitement about participating in the show. He praised Swift for finding the perfect part of the show for him, allowing him to join dancers Kam Saunders and Jan Ravnik during the Tortured Poets Department era.
