On the eve of the biggest game of the season, Taylor Swift was comforted by Travis Kelce, who was thousands of miles away in Brazil on tour. Kelce stayed by himself in his car.

The 34-year-old tight end for Kansas City called Taylor shortly after she left the stage at Rio’s Nilton Santos Stadium, and they spoke for over thirty minutes.

Images that DailyMail.com exclusively received show Kelce arriving at the team hotel on Sunday night before tonight’s match.

However, Travis was observed talking on the phone with his significant other, feeling disheartened and saddened that their reunion tonight was not meant to be, while other players abandoned their cars and entered the arena.

As Kelce talked to his sweetie, he appeared relieved. His serious expression and seeming preoccupation were a far cry from the confident smile that his fans had become accustomed to since he first started going out with Swift.

The 33-year-old Swift showed up at the stadium on Sunday night crying. Swift expressed her appreciation for the audience and dedicated a song to Ana Clara Benvides, 23, a fan who died on Friday from a heart attack during the same intense heat wave that prompted Swift to postpone her performance until tonight.

Kelce had hoped that Swift would be there to cheer him on on Monday for the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles, which also involves a showdown between Kelce and his brother Jason. This change completely upended the lovers’ plans.

Instead, he had to console and uplift a broken-hearted Swift prior to her Sunday night squad arrival.

Swift’s attendance at Monday night’s game would have further illustrated how much the Kelce family has accepted her, as the brothers—Travis and Jason, the center for the Philadelphia Eagles and Jason, respectively—show up in big numbers to support each other, a rivalry that is a remarkable story of NFL success.

Above all, though, this trip to Kansas City was meant to be Kelce’s first time spending time with the woman who shares his new home and is, it is clear, the center of his universe.

Kelce moved into the $6 million home he purchased last month with Swift and their future together very much in mind, according to DailyMail.com.

Swift was due to land in Missouri on Monday following her Sunday night concert in Rio. But she called off the show on Sunday because she was concerned about crowd safety in the sweltering Rio heat.

During his late Sunday morning errands, Kelce wore a sad expression instead of excitedly waiting for her to arrive. Wearing the carefree look that has made him famous, a camo tracksuit and slides, he pulled into the posh gated community where he now lives and stopped to pick up the mail.

Sources claim that Kelce is eager to settle down with Swift and paid millions of dollars for the expansive home, which he purchased last month.

There has been’very substantial’ discussion of an engagement between the two mega-stars, according to the wildly popular celebrity Instagram page and Podcast Deuxmoi.

The renownedly anonymous anchor asserted last week that “absolutely no-one is staying tight-lipped about this.” He had previously asked and received permission from her father.

“She expects a proposal around her birthday (December 13) or Christmas and wants to end the tour a married woman and start a family immediately after,” Deuxmoi said, referring to Swift’s famous “kiss heard around the world” as she ran from the Buenos Aires stage into Kelce’s waiting arms in the wings.

Undoubtedly, Kelce’s new residence in Kansas City, where he inked a $57 million, four-year contract extension in 2020, is a palace worthy of a pop princess. He is under contract there until 2026.

It has a lit tennis court, a pickleball court, a miniature golf course, and a woods with lush, expansive lawns all on a more than three-acre private plot. As a passionate auto enthusiast, Kelce keeps six cars in his garage for his assortment of vehicles.

Family has always been important to Kelce, and the new apartment is the ideal place for him to start his own. His mother Donna even made an appearance in a Campbell’s Soup commercial with her sons.
