Touchdown after touchdown. Travis Kelce’s net worth is one of the best in the NFL currently. All eyes have been on the Kansas City Chief’s tight end since he was rumored to be dating none other than Taylor Swift.
Taylor was spotted with Travis’ mom in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium and celebrating a touchdown that Travis scored. Right after the game, they drove down in Travis’ convertible to an intimate dinner together.
Right before the outing, Travis seemingly confirmed that the reports about trying to give his number to Taylor were true. “I said what I said. And I meant what I said when I said it. And you know what, it is what it is,” he said, before playing it coy about their relationship status on NFL+ With Andrew Siciliano. “I’m not gonna talk about my personal life,” he added.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end went on to playfully tease listeners. “I know what you writers wanna hear, and you wanna hear more about that and I’m not gonna give you anything,” he joked while pointing a finger at the camera.
Andrew pressed him for more, however. “Has she reached out?” he asked, to which Travis remained tight lipped. “And that’s gonna wrap it up here,” he said, ending the interview.
NFL commentators haven’t taken a break from these rumors and took every chance to tease the player. When Travis scored a touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars, commentator Ian Eagle quipped, “Kelce finds a blank space for the score,” making reference to Taylor’s song “Blank Space” from her 1989 album, adding later that the champion tight end could “shake it off” after suffering a knee injury in practice a few weeks prior, another reference to a T-Swift song, “Shake It Off”.
NFL Network’s Rich Eisen chimed in with the banter on Twitter with a rollcall of Swift hits while covering Kelce’s return to the field, including “Delicate,” “Anti-Hero” and “August.” Sharing a clip of the broadcast via Instagram, Eisen wrote in the caption, “Look what you made me do, @killatrav.” Kelce responded: “Well played Rich… Well played 👏🏻😂”
Is Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship a PR stunt? Well, if you’re asking Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, the answer is no. During his recent appearance on Mad Money on CNBC, Hunt, 58, gushed about the couple, dispelling any notions of their relationship being a “marketing stunt.”
“Well, first of all, we’re so happy for Travis Kelce and Taylor in their relationship. I’ve had a chance to meet her at one of the many games that she’s attended this year,” Hunt shared. “She’s just as sweet as she can be. I also got to see her play here [at our Arrowhead Stadium] twice this past summer and what an incredible performer. I mean, just one of the most incredible artists of our time.”
He continued, “It’s been a very interesting, very fun year having the two of them dating. The attention that’s been focused on the Chiefs, our female audience has grown leaps and bounds. That’s right, it was purely organic.”
“You know, when they were just starting off dating, there were a lot of people saying, ‘Oh, it’s a marketing stunt,’ but no, it’s very real,” he told CNBC, adding, “and the most important thing is we’re happy for the two of them.” So what is Travis Kelce’s net worth compared to Taylor Swift’s?

Travis Kelce’s net worth
What is Travis Kelce’s net worth? According to Celebrity Net Worth, Travis Kelce’s net worth is reportedly around $30 million. The Kansas City Chief tight end reportedly renewed his contract with the team in 2022 worth $57.25 million, securing him an annual salary of $14.3 million until 2026.
In a January 2023 interview with Vanity Fair, Kelce jokingly talked about how his position isn’t paid enough. “My managers and agents love to tell me how underpaid I am,” he said. “Any time I talk about wanting more money, they’re just like, ‘Why don’t you go to the Chiefs and ask them?” The Chiefs are bound by a salary cap and players like All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill have moved elsewhere within the league.
“When I saw Tyreek go and get 30 [million] a year, in the back of my head, I was like, man, that’s two to three times what I’m making right now,” he says. “I’m like, the free market looks like fun until you go somewhere and you don’t win. I love winning. I love the situation I’m in.”
He thought about it but he’s allegiance is to the Chiefs. “You see how much more money you could be making and, yeah, it hits you in the gut a little bit. It makes you think you’re being taken advantage of,” Kelce says. “I don’t know if I really pressed the gas if I would get what I’m quote-unquote worth,” he adds. “But I know I enjoy coming to that building every single day.” Kelce also has brand deals with Nike, Old Spice, T-Mobile and Dick’s Sporting Goods, McDonalds, and Papa Johns.

Taylor Swift’s net worth
Image Credit: Getty Images According to Bloomberg, Swift’s net worth has catapulted to billionaire status thanks to her 2023/24 Eras Tour, becoming one of the few recording artists to build a 10-figure fortune almost entirely from her music, “the result of work and talent, but also canny marketing and timing,” the research points out. On April 2, 2024, she finally entered the Forbes World’s Billionaires List for the first time with $1.1 billion as her net worth. She’s listed as 1454 on the list. Swift is the first musician to make the ranks solely based on her songs and performances.
Since her rise to fame, Swift has been the face of campaigns for brands like CoverGirl, Keds, Diet Coke and Capital One. She also has an album promotion deal with Target, and has worked with brands like AT&T, Walmart, Apple Music and XFinity.
However, as Swifties know, the bulk of Swift’s income comes from her tours. Swift’s first concert tour, the Fearless Tour, in 2008 and 2009 brought in $75 million, according to Business Insider. Her 1989 World Tour in 2015 was named the highest-grossing tour of that year. In 2018, Swift’s Reputation Stadium Tour broke the record for the highest-grossing U.S. stadium tour of all time with $345 million from 38 shows, which equals to about $9 million per show. (The previous record was held by The Rolling Stones, whose “A Bigger Bang Tour” from 2005 to 2007 grossed $245 million across 70 shows.)
And of course, we can’t forget the Eras Tour, the first tour to gross more than $1 billion. “This is the proudest and happiest I’ve ever felt, and the most creatively fulfilled and free I’ve ever been,” Swift told TIME magazine in her Person of the Year cover story. “Ultimately, we can convolute it all we want, or try to overcomplicate it, but there’s only one question,” adding: “Are you not entertained?” to mimic the famous line from Gladiator.
Swift’s net worth also includes her massive real estate portfolio. So far, she owns eight properties, including her $29 million estate in Beverly Hills, her $20 million duplex in New York City and her $17 million mansion in Rhode Island. According to Business Insider, she also owns two private jets worth $40 million and $58 million each.
