Taylor Swift pulled off one of the most empowering moves of her career by reclaiming ownership of her music catalog, and having Travis Kelce by her side made the moment much more memorable.

The pop icon’s emotional victory arrived six years after her public fallout with Scooter Braun.

It also marked a new beginning for both her professional and personal life.

Swift made headlines on May 30 when she revealed she had officially bought back her music catalog, regaining control over her first six albums nearly six years after the rights were sold to Scooter Braun.

The announcement came via an emotional Instagram post, marking the end of a chapter that had long been a source of pain and frustration for the star.

“Reclaiming her masters has been emotional and empowering. She’s proud, relieved, and finally feels like a chapter has closed in the best possible way. Having Travis by her side for that milestone made it even more special,” a source told PEOPLE.

Swift’s battle for her masters was one of the most talked-about stories in modern music history.

After Braun’s Ithaca Holdings acquired Big Machine Label Group in 2019, she lost control of the rights to her original recordings.

Her move to re-record her albums was a bold stance against industry norms and now feels like vindication with ownership fully back in her hands.

While this was a career milestone for Swift, it also doubled as a deeply personal win, one she didn’t face alone.

Her boyfriend, Kelce, was by her side throughout the process, offering the support she needed during one of the most transformative times in her career.

“Kelce was honored to support her and he wouldn’t have wanted it any other way,” the insider shared.

The lovebirds’ relationship has grown more grounded and intimate, with the source adding, “The couple is incredibly happy and in sync. There’s a calmness and ease to their relationship right now that’s been really grounding for Taylor and Travis.”

After wrapping her record-shattering Eras Tour, Swift took a well-earned break, and she’s been spending her downtime with Kelce.

The duo has enjoyed a peaceful summer far from the chaos of paparazzi flashbulbs and stage lights.

Instead of jet-setting across continents, the couple has chosen a more down-to-earth approach to their summer.

“Taylor and Travis are soaking up every minute of this slower season together. They’ve been splitting their time between New York, Nashville, and a few quiet getaways, just enjoying each other’s company without all the usual chaos,” the source noted.

From cozy dinners with friends in Manhattan’s West Village to intimate family time in Nashville, the pair have embraced privacy and connection. They have also been spotted together at low-key public events, like catching a tennis match at the U.S. Open, or enjoying brunch near Kelce’s hometown.

For two people with hectic, high-profile careers, this time together has been a blessing.

“This kind of downtime is rare for both of them, and it’s really allowed their bond to deepen,” the source added. “It’s been a turning point for their relationship in a lot of ways.”

After a whirlwind year of touring and personal challenges, Swift is opting for a low-key Independence Day celebration in 2025.

Instead of her famous star-studded bash in Rhode Island, Swift will spend the holiday privately with Kelce, her family, and close friends.

“She is eager to celebrate and unwind, but she is not looking to broadcast that she is having a big get-together or party,” a source told the Daily Mail.

The singer, who initially planned for a peaceful “gap year,” faced unexpected turmoil due to former friend Blake Lively’s legal feud with Justin Baldoni, which ended their decade-long friendship.

“Taylor has had quite the year, and it’s important for her to keep things low-key,” the insider added.

Swift’s past Fourth of July parties were legendary, featuring A-list guests like Ed Sheeran, Gigi Hadid, and Ryan Reynolds. However, she is avoiding grand gestures this year.

“She doesn’t want to make a big deal out of a party because she doesn’t want to seem out of touch,” said the source. “She would never want to look like she is having fun at the expense of people who might be struggling.”

Despite fan speculation, there will be no surprise music releases or engagement news this weekend.

“If she is about to drop any new music, she hasn’t told anyone, even those closest to her,” the insider revealed.

As for Kelce, the source shared, “Travis isn’t going to ask for her hand in marriage this weekend either. It will likely happen when he’s not preparing for the NFL season.”
