The intense media scrutiny is enough to keep even the keenest suitor away (and has) … until now. Enter NFL football star Travis Kelce, who not only understands the media scrutiny, but also the commitment and stamina it takes to be one of the best in the world in your chosen field.<img alt="87-fitchett-street-garran-act-2605-95311-image-0-20240212013249928822-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/87-fitchett-street-garran-act-2605-95311-image.width-800.jpg" width="800">Just days before she arrived in Australia, Taylor was in the crowd of the United States Super Bowl, which saw boyfriend Travis Kelce’s team — the Kansas City Chiefs — take home the NFL premiership title for the second year in a row. We’ve found Taylor and Travis a classic Canberra home at number 87: Kelce’s jersey number.<h3 data-block-key="2lj87">A house on Love(r) Street.</h3><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/20-love-street-flynn-act-2615-95504/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">20 Love Street, Flynn</a><img alt="shutterstock_2382444451" class="richtext-image full-width" height="600" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/shutterstock_2382444451.width-800.jpg" width="800">Who remembers Tayor telling you to calm down in 2019? Because I certainly do. (Have you seen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkk9gvTmCXY&amp;ab_channel=TaylorSwiftVEVO" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the music video for You Need to Calm Down</a>? It’s my all-time fave). Lover was Taylor’s seventh studio album and gave us such hits as Cruel Summer, ME! And, of course, Lover.<img alt="20-love-street-flynn-act-2615-95504-image-0-20240214224758813756-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/20-love-street-flynn-act-2615-95504-image-0-20.width-800.jpg" width="800">For Taylor’s fifth Canberra home, she’ll no doubt put an offer on this home, located on Love Street (there is no Lover Street in Canberra, okay? This is as close as we could get) and with a fireplace, black cabinetry in the bathroom, and a stunning wooden and glass outhouse for entertaining her bestie, Ashley Avignone.
