Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been separated by distance, but certainly not by heart. With Swift continuing the European leg of her blockbuster Eras Tour and Kelce gearing up for the forthcoming NFL season in the U.S.

, the couple is never more than a quick dial away. A source tells ET, "Taylor and Travis always prioritize each other even when they are physically apart. They are still in constant communication texting and FaceTiming each other.

" The source adds that the pair is "very affectionate with each other even when they're apart." One way that Kelce apparently shows his affection is by lavishing Swift with heartfelt gifts. "Travis sends Taylor flowers and loves to shower her with surprise gifts and tokens of gratitude," the source says.

"Their connection is unlike anything that they've ever experienced before." It's been over a year since Kelce revealed on his New Heights podcast that he tried to give Swift his phone number when attending her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City, Missouri. Since then, Swift, 34, showed her support for her boyfriend as she attended a number of his NFL games, making her debut inside of the suites of Arrowhead Stadium in September .

The "Love Story" songstress was also on hand when Kelce and the Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers at the Super Bowl . For his part, Kelce, also 34, has made several appearances at the Eras Tour during his time off from football. He even made a cameo performance on stage with her at London's Wembley Stadium in J.
