Taylor Swift said ‘yes’ to her ‘Love Story’ and confirmed her engagement with Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce via an Instagram post captioned, “Your English teacher and gym teacher are getting married.” Getting down on one knee with a $650,000 diamond ring, Kelce proposed to his long-term billionaire girlfriend.
With the internet flooded with posts, memes, and celebratory flair, the exciting news came following Swift’s announcement of her newest album, ‘Life of a Showgirl’, on her fiancé’s brother’s podcast. However, this is no humble couple; the upcoming wedding bells are sure to keep the fans buzzing.
Taylor’s billion-dollar empire
Pop icon Taylor Swift is the richest female musician, who surpassed Beyoncé and Rihanna in 2023. Her $1.6 billion worth came after her Eras World Tour shattered all records and became the highest-grossing concert of all time, according to Forbes. A larger share of this spans over her 20-year career when she bought back her music catalog and re-released it under ‘Taylor’s Version’.
Along with music, the 14-time Grammy Award winner is already the owner of $120 million in real estate, including the $17 million mansion in Rhode Island. It doesn’t end here. Swift also owns her swanky private jet, worth $23 million.
Travis Kelce’s net worth
Building his career in American football, Kelce is nowhere close to his 35-year-old fiancée’s net worth. The Super Bowl champion is worth $70 million with a 12-year career with the Kansas City Chiefs. As he is set to play the 2025 NFL season, Kelce also brings in $80 million in off-field earnings, as per Forbes estimates. This also includes a portion of the $100 million podcast contract he and his brother, Jason, signed in 2024 for his podcast with Wondrey. Taking the lovebird’s combined net worth to $1.67 billion, the power couple has buzzed tabloids since Swift’s very public announcement at the Super Bowl in 2023.
Kelce even ventured into film and television and hosted ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?’ on Amazon Prime Video. Making a cameo in Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore 2, Swift’s fiancée is also an investor in Alpine Formula One racing team and a restaurant in Kansas City.
Apart from his investments, he is also the founder of his sportswear brand, Tru Kolors, and nutritional supplements venture Hilo Gummies. As a headliner of the Kansas City Chiefs, he monetised on his fame with endorsement deals with brands like Bud Light, Pfizer, and Nike. Among his private assets, Kelce owns a $6 million real estate and a $400,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom.
While this engagement was just a confirmation of the rumours, fans were already speculating the news after Taylor announced her new album earlier this month.
