Taylor Swift is famous for her baking, but a new report says her kitchen has changed this fall. An insider told the Daily Mail that Swift has eased off sweets and started lifting weights with Travis Kelce. He is 37 and in his 14th season with the Chiefs. Kelce chose to return in March after retirement talk, and many believe this could be his last year. Andy Reid has even hinted that the veteran may see a lighter workload. Neither Swift nor Kelce has commented.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce: lifting, lean meals and fewer sweets

The insider described a couple who share the same routine. "They work out a ton together," the insider said. "They love to lift weights and stay strong, and they stick to a lean diet. There is a lot of protein in their meals."

That is a big shift for Swift. In 2025, she told listeners on Kelce's New Heights podcast that the two had gotten into making sourdough bread. Early in the relationship, she baked homemade Pop-Tarts for the Chiefs' offensive linemen. Now, according to the report, she has "eased off" on sweets because Kelce "needs to be in the best shape of his life."

Baking has not vanished completely. The insider said she still makes French toast, which is Kelce's "favorite" treat, now and then. "When she is with Travis, she does everything to support him because he is working so hard on football," the insider said.

Travis Kelce's 14th season and Swift's presence at Arrowhead

Kelce has had to work harder than ever to stay on the field this year. He no longer has the athleticism he had in his prime, and the extra gym time fits that reality. A tight end at his age needs longer to recover, and every practice rep counts.

Swift has been in her suite at Arrowhead Stadium for the Chiefs' home games this season. The couple married over the Fourth of July weekend, and she wore an "87" necklace to the Jets game, a nod to her husband's jersey number. Kelce scored a rushing touchdown in that 35-12 win and caught four passes for 72 yards. It was his third touchdown of the year and his first since Sept. 27.

Next up, Kansas City travels to Atlanta to face the Falcons in Week 10. Denver is on a bye, so a win would pull the Chiefs level with the Broncos in the AFC West.

The workout habits and the French toast come from a single anonymous source, so treat them as a tabloid account rather than a confirmed routine.
