The U.S. Sun has extensively reported on Travis and Taylor Swift’s Italian obsession with the superstar couple eyeing a cozy love pad in picturesque Lake Como.
We also revealed Taylor has hired out the iconic Monza F1 race track to celebrate her boyfriend’s 35th birthday in style.
That trip will have to wait until the end of the NFL season, with Travis gunning for a third Super Bowl ring on the bounce.
But Travis’s taste for fine Italian fashion and wine knows no end.

So Taylor and their pals have been ribbing him about his desperation to live la dolce vita.
A well-placed source close to the couple said they have even created a new moniker for their pal.
“We have been calling him the Kansas City Stallion,” the insider told The U.S. Sun with a smile.
“He loves Sylvester Stallone – one of his favorite actors and a childhood idol.
“He’s even started using Italian words like ‘Grazzie! Tutto bene!’
“Travis now loves Italy and Italian things so much that he is learning and loving brands and items from there, and Taylor knows it!”
Fashionista Travis was gifted some classy Armani and Ferragamo clothes for his birthday last weekend, as well as some vintage red wine.
The trip to Monza, which cost a whopping $250,00 and included private lessons in an F1 car, went down a treat, according to the source.
‘A great escape’
Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid thinks Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift is “a great escape
Kelce and Swift have been constant presences at each other’s events, and Reid shared that he thinks they enjoy getting out of the spotlight.
“He can handle it. I think there’s a great escape for him,” Reid told the Athletic.
“I said that about Taylor too. I mean, she comes to the game, she can kind of escape having to be the show.
“And when he goes to her concerts, she’s the star and he can be hanging out there and be the support or the waterboy.”
“Travis was so happy,” he said.
“He can’t wait to head back to Italy once the NFL season is over.”
