Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have achieved no shortage of success in their respective fields — but there still remains a significant disparity in the lovebirds’ net worths.

Since becoming an item in the summer of 2023, Swift and Kelce have been highly supportive of one another’s undertakings. The songstress frequently attends Kansas City Chiefs games, even if she isn’t shown on the jumbotron at Arrowhead Stadium. The star tight end, meanwhile, has traveled the country to watch his partner perform on tour.

Over an illustrious 18-year career in the music business, Swift has sold over 200 million albums globally and embarked on numerous lucrative world tours.

Her most recent venture, the ‘Eras Tour,’ raked in roughly $2.1 billion in global ticket sales, making it the highest-grossing tour ever.

Thanks to her extensive music portfolio — combined with tour earnings, endorsements, real estate, and more — the pop superstar reportedly boasts a staggering net worth of $1.5 billion, according to Celebritynetworth.com.

On the other hand, Kelce has an impressive net worth of around $90 million. Last April, the star tight end signed a two-year, $34.3 million contract with the Chiefs, adding to his nearly $80 million earnings from his first decade in the NFL.

Off the gridiron, Kelce pulls in $5 million annually from endorsements with big-name brands like McDonald’s, Papa John’s, Nike, and Bud Light.

The 36-year-old also co-hosts ‘New Heights’ alongside his brother Jason, with the sports podcast amassing a tremendous cult following since its debut in September of 2022.

The meteoric rise in popularity hasn’t escaped the attention of major networks, with Amazon’s Wondery podcast platform and the siblings agreeing to a $100 million deal for the program last August.

It appears as though Kelce has already set himself up nicely for life after football, which is not far off into the future. Speaking to reporters last month, the 10-time Pro Bowler revealed that he will wait until the end of the 2025 campaign to make a decision on his retirement.

Though choosing whether or not to hang up the cleats will undoubtedly take some time, Kelce asserted that he wanted to give the Chiefs an ample amount of time to gameplan for the future.

For reference, Kelce pointed out how Jason announced his retirement on March 4, 2024 following 13 seasons with the Eagles — thereby allowing Philadelphia to devise a strong plan to improve the offensive line through the draft and free agency.

“Seeing my brother go through it and seeing — I don’t know, how the league works … I want to give the Chiefs a good opportunity, whether I come back or not, and vice versa,” Kelce said.

“It’s one of those things where I’d like to make that decision before they have draft picks and free agency opens. And they can go out there and fill the roster appropriately. All of that will be after the season. I won’t think about it until then.”
