Over the past several months, Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce has formed quite a strong relationship with Taylor Swift after the two began dating in the middle of the NFL season. And while their relationship seems to be growing and strengthening, it certainly hasn’t come cheap for Kelce.
According to an estimate from the New York Post, Travis Kelce has spent more than $8 million – more than half of his annual salary with the Chiefs – on his relationship with Taylor Swift since they began dating.
“Indeed, with three Super Bowls under his belt, Kelce, 34, is in the third year of a four-year contract worth $57.25 million — making him the fourth-highest-paid tight end in the NFL, according to USA Today. But he may be shelling out more than half of his annual $14+ million salary — as much as $8,232,229 million by The Post’s estimate — while dating a billionaire,” the New York Post reports.
Obviously, it’s pretty insane news that Kelce has dished out this much money on the new relationship, and people had a lot to say about it on social media as a result.
Oh I can feel all the Swifty fan's standards rising.

Travis Kelce's expenditure of half his earnings on items like a private jet, a luxurious mansion, and gifts, might seem substantial, but proportionally, it's comparable to someone earning $100k spending $50k on similar luxuries. Given his income level, it's reasonable…

Obviously, Kelce can probably afford it based on his career earnings on and off the field, but it’s still a lot of money.
