It’s been a turbulent two months for Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce following a 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9. Kelce and girlfriend Taylor Swift left town pretty quickly to decompress and enjoy a private vacation together outside of the country.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are taking a break from the spotlight following the end of her Eras Tour and before football season ramps up again. An exclusive source tells PEOPLE why it's a "special time for them.

The song off of Swift’s “TTPD” album is believed to be about her athlete boyfriend, thanks to the lyric, “You know how to ball, I know Aristotle.”
