The Kansas City vs. Chicago game will go down in NFL history not as a Chiefs domination, but as one of the most romantic games in its history. Lovebirds Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce dominated the screens while the Chiefs dominated the Bears on the field. But the love story has a twisted angle. Is one using the other for money and fame?
Travis Kelce has had multiple romantic flings, but not all of them ended amicably. One former girlfriend went to the extent of warning Swift to be smart with Kelce. Money seemed to be at the heart of one such romantic episode in Kelce’s life.

How did Kayla catch Travis’ fancy? Kayla Nicole was a host at major sports media outlets such as ESPN and Barstool Sports. When she’s not doing journalism, she does modeling work for fashion brands. As the story goes, the Kansas City Chiefs TE had been following her on Instagram and used to like every post and watch all her stories. He did everything except actually messaging her. Finally, on New Year’s Day, she gathered the courage after being egged on by her friend and DM’d Kelce.

The two began dating in 2017 but finally called it quits in the summer of 2022. Rumors were afloat that Kelce made Kayla pay half of the bills whenever they went out together. His intention was to test if Kayla just wasn’t with him for his money. Barstool also reported that Nicole just got $100 from him during the time they were together. However, both Kelce and Kayla have shut down the rumors.
With Taylor, it seems that the tables have turned. Inching closer to billionaire status, the wildly popular singer is several times wealthier than the football player. In 2020, Travis signed a four-year $57.25 million extension with the Chiefs. Taylor, however, made three times that amount in just one year between June 20118 and June 2019. Her Reputation stadium tour earned her a whopping $185 million. So, how did the two meet?
The Kelce-Swift effect at the Arrowhead stadium
Kelce secured front-row seats at Taylor Swift’s Eras concert at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium, with the hope of giving her a friendship band with his number. But that was not to be as the $600 million singer did not engage with the audience before or after the event. But the next thing we see is Swift in the players’ family box along with Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, cheering Travis. More than the touchdowns that the Chiefs scored in the beat-down match against the Bears, the spotlight was on Swift’s reactions.

With the money equation now turned on its head, rumors have not been sparing of Kelce either, accusing him of being with Swift for her money and fame.
