Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s relationship with pop star Taylor Swift dominated the sports news headlines during the 2023 NFL season.
Swift and Kelce’s relationship led to the largest number of female viewers in Super Bowl history.
And Travis Kelce is grateful for his lucrative contract after paying this big price for dating Taylor Swift.
An estimated 115.1 million viewers tuned in to watch the Super Bowl in 2022.
But that number increased by seven percent last year, with 123.4 million viewers tuning in to watch the Big Game across CBS platforms.
Many sports commentators and trend analysts believe the rise in viewership was in large part due to how Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship blossomed over the course of the season, and ended with a Super Bowl victory for the Chiefs.
Some analysts even dubbed it the “Swift effect.”
Of course, Taylor Swift is the biggest star on the planet right now.
Her Eras Tour film has brought in well over $130 million over the past year in the United States alone.
Since entering the music scene at the young age of 15, Swift has sold over 200 million records worldwide and is worth billions of dollars.
As a star tight end with three Super Bowl rings, Kelce is also bringing home millions of dollars.
He’s currently in the third year of a four-year contract with the Chiefs worth $57.25 million.
The media swooned over the famous wealthy couple’s relationship throughout the entire football season, as Swift attended 12 of the Chiefs’ 18 games.
According to a report by the New York Post, Kelce is fortunate that his talent earns him millions of dollars given the high price of a relationship with Taylor Swift.
The Post estimated that Kelce “may be shelling out more than half of his annual $14+ million salary — as much as $8,232,229 million” to date billionaire Taylor Swift.
Pop culture lifestyle expert Valerie Greenberg told the Post that “Travis Kelce always comes to play — not just on the field, but in his everyday romance with Taylor Swift — sparing no expense.”
“He isn’t afraid to open his heart and his wallet,” she added.
Some of Kelce’s expenses for dating Swift include $1,210,000 for “private jet excursions,” $6 million for real estate, more than $22,000 in gifts, and $1 million for a suite at the Super Bowl.
Taylor Swift is a billionaire.
Although Kelce is very wealthy, his millions are nothing compared to Swift’s billions.
However, he still shells out more than half of his annual income on Swift.
Meanwhile, America’s feminists are silent in their calls for equality.
