It remains early days for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

The "Lavender Haze" singer, 33, and the Kansas City Chiefs star, 33, are "still just getting to know each other," a source tells PEOPLE. "It's nothing too serious."

An insider adds that the pair haven't yet defined their relationship, saying, "He is a charming guy. It’s more of a hanging out situation than dating." 

Though Kelce is spending time with Swift, "he’s focusing on football like he always has," the source says. "During the NFL season, his priority is the Chiefs, and it’s all about the team."

"There's no pressure," the source previously told PEOPLE.

On Sunday, Swift attended the matchup between the Chiefs and New York Jets, where she once again linked up with Travis' mom Donna Kelce during the game, which saw the Chiefs defeat New York 23-20 in a close finish.

They had initially spent time together in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City at the Chiefs' game against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 24.

“Donna likes Taylor and thinks she’s very sweet and down to earth," a third source told PEOPLE.
