Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, have kept a low profile since Super Bowl LIX. While Kelce takes time to decide whether he’ll return to play next season, Swift is getting some much-needed rest after an incredibly busy year.
After 149 shows across the globe, Swift concluded her record-breaking “Eras Tour” in December. While on tour, the pop star released her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” which features numerous songs inspired by her relationship with Kelce.
“The Tortured Poets Department” made history after spending 17 weeks a No. 1 on the Billboard music chart and breaking numerous streaming records. The double album racked up five Grammy nominations, however, she left award ceremony’s earlier this month with zero wins.
While fans wonder what’s next for the 35-year-old singer, Swift dropped a major hint via legal forms filed.

Over the past several years, Swift made the move to re-record past albums to retain ownership of her music. Swifties continue to wait for the 14-time Grammy winner to release “Reputation: Taylor’s Version,” along with “Taylor’s Version” of her 2006 self-titled debut album.
Swift extended the trademark to use “Taylor Swift Taylor’s Version” on Jan. 23. She filed a Request for Extension of Time to File a Statement of Use, which requests a six-month extension, the same paperwork was filed for “Reputation Taylor’s Version.”
However, she could restart the three-year period by filing an all-new applications after the expiration date.
Swift is a master at keeping her cards close when it comes to new music. Even Kelce knows to keep news about his girlfriend’s work under wraps. During an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” last month, however, the 10-time Pro Bowler hinted that new music may be on the way.
“I hear music everywhere,” he said, but “can’t say” what or if anything is in the works. However, he’s a “motivator” when she’s working. “I’ll never chime in, but I’m here to support it. I’m here to see where it can go.”
