SHE spent a staggering 600+ days on the road performing 149 three-hour shows in a record-breaking world tour that saw Taylor Swift’s every move splashed across the press for months on end.
And as dramatically as she burst into and lived in the spotlight for the best part of two years, since her $2bn Eras Tour came to an end in December Taylor has dropped out of the public eye – but has been working on a very exciting new project.

The 35-year-old has been having some precious downtime with boyfriend of nearly two years American football player Travis Kelce, also 35.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, a pal close to the couple revealed: “Taylor and Travis have been enjoying the last few weeks taking things at a slower pace.
“They’re distancing themselves from the spotlight in order to enjoy simple things, recharge their energy levels and just live life.
“They spend a lot of time together, and they’ve been travelling a lot.
“The Caribbean, Florida, New York for a day or three… and even doing some little road trips.
“It’s been just the two of them together, to enjoy simple landscapes and simple meals in nature together.”
The pair’s last joint high-profile public appearance was at the Super Bowl back in February, when Taylor watched on as Kelce played with Kansas City Chiefs against the Philadelphia Eagles.
A source previously also told Us Weekly the singer was really looking forward to taking a step back after her tour, adding: “Taylor’s exhausted…She’s excited for some relaxation and downtime.”
Here we take a closer, exclusive look at the pair’s current reclusive life away from the spotlight, how they’ve been spending their time together and their big comeback plans after some well-earned time out.
The ‘simple life’
She may be worth a staggering $1.6bn, own a private jet and have a US property portfolio worth $80m, but incredibly down-to-earth Taylor secretly loves nothing more than simple things.

When she was dating British ex Joe Alwyn, for example, she was said to enjoy a date night at the local Pizza Express, trips to the park, or cooking a Sunday roast – and it seems things haven’t changed with Travis.
Last month the pair were spotted attempting a low-key entrance to chain restaurant steakhouse Del Frisco’s Grille for a dinner date, where menu prices range from $10 for a starter to $85 for a steak.
Our source adds: “They’ve also been spending time with family and friends, doing crafts, cooking, baking a lot of cakes and pastries together.
“They currently have a very simple life, enjoying the little things at their own pace – which doesn’t happen often in their crazy, busy lives.”

‘No paparazzi, no pressure’
As our insider revealed, the couple have also been spending time travelling to the Caribbean, Florida and New York, as well as stopping in Kansas City, Missouri, and Europe.
The couple also recently took a secret trip out to Montana to go house-hunting, according to multiple news reports.
They were spotted at the 148 acre Lone Mountain Ranch, an exclusive destination boasting a selection of restaurants and bars including the Auric Room, where they enjoyed a low-key lunch.
They want to be a power couple, develop projects and businesses and build an empire together.

According to InStyle, a source said: “They love Montana. No paparazzi, no pressure.
“Just mountains, good food, and close friends. It’s their happy place, intimate, chill, and very off-the-grid.
“They were laughing all night. It was super relaxed. No bodyguards swarming, no glam squad—just friends having a great night out.”
Taylor already owns an impressive collection of luxurious homes across the US, including a New York City penthouse and a Rhode Island mansion.
