Taylor Swift has been ‘super emotional’ as she approaches the final nights of her wildly popular Eras Tour, and has been ‘leaning on’ her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, ‘more than ever.’Â The pop superstar, 34, will wrap up her mammoth tour in Vancouver, Canada, on December 8 after 149 shows and two years on the road.
And with just three dates to go, Taylor is struggling to accept the fact that it is drawing to a close because she doesn’t know what she will do to ‘fill’ her days in the aftermath. But her close friends believe it is the perfect time for her to ‘start a family’ with NFL champ Travis, 35, who has been helping her through this difficult transition.
‘This tour has been her life and the people on the tour have been her family and as it draws to a close, she has been super emotional – leaning on Travis and her family more than ever,’ an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘She is such a busy body. She knows she must just take some time to enjoy her successes, but she really doesn’t know what to do to fill her time aside from writing songs.

The singer, 34, whose tour has spanned two years, broke down in tears while performing in Toronto on Saturday night
‘Taylor cannot be bored and doesn’t really know what she is going to do with her time.’ The source added that while Taylor ‘has not discussed’ becoming a mom recently, it’s something she has talked about wanting in the past – and her loved ones believe it’s the logical next step for her.
‘Her friends believe that she should use this time to take things to the next level with Travis and that it is the perfect time to start a family of her own,’ they continued. ‘She has had everything she has ever wanted and everyone who knows her believes she would make the best mom ever. ‘Taylor has not discussed this with them but has talked about wanting a family in the past.’
The emotional toll of finally wrapping up the $1billion tour was evident on Saturday night when the Cruel Summer singer broke down in tears while performing at Toronto’s Rogers Centre. She was overcome with emotion as she talked to the audience at the sold-out show after she received a standing ovation for her performance of Champagne Problems. ‘Toronto, we’re at the very end of this tour so you doing that, you have no idea how much it means to me and to my…’ she began, before she had to stop to compose herself.

‘This tour… I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore,’ she continued. ‘That was… uh, I’m just having a bit of a moment so…’ ‘It’s not even the last show,’ she said after wiping away tears. ‘My band, my crew, all of my fellow performers, we have put so much of our lives into this. ‘And you’ve put so much of your lives into being with us tonight and to giving us that moment that we will never forget.’
Travis’s dad Ed was in the VIP section trading friendship bracelets with fans, along with Taylor’s mom Andrea. Back in June, a separate source told DailyMail.com that Taylor had no plans to take a lengthy break after the tour concluded. They claimed that she was already working on new music for a 2025 release and was in talks to hit the road again in 2026.
‘Taylor is working on a new record which is due out in 2025 followed by a new tour in 2026,’ the insider claimed. ‘She is heavily inspired by all the new experiences she is having on the Eras tour and has been quietly writing songs backstage.’
Since the Eras Tour kicked off in March 2023, Taylor has released an impressive three albums – two re-recordings of her older LPs, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and 1989 (Taylor’s Version), as well as a brand-new two-CD set called The Tortured Poets Department, which contained a whopping 31 tracks.
Over the last few months, rumors have swirled that she’s gearing up to drop Reputation (Taylor’s Version) next. The Bad Blood singer has been juggling her tour with dating Kansas City Chiefs star Travis, who has made regular appearances at her dates – and even joined her on stage earlier this year. Their parents have met, and Taylor’s dad Scott, 72, recently sat next to a woman on a plane and allegedly revealed how much he loves Travis for his daughter.
Fans are desperate to know if, or when, the power couple will get engaged and start a family. Taylor previously admitted she wants a ‘minimum’ of four children. ‘That money will be really good for sending my kids to college some day – or maybe I’ll have a few more kids than I thought,’ she told Marie Claire magazine. ‘I want a bunch of them running around, minimum four. ‘I want to wait a while, but the idea of pouring everything you are into another person when you become a parent has always been amazing to me.’
