In theory, the future nuptials of this power couple will consolidate a big sum of money, because what’s mine is yours and such (unless contracts to the contrary are signed). Let’s take a look at the pop singer’s and football star’s individual net worths, and how they stack up against other wealthy dynamic duos.
The “Blank Space” singer began her professional career at just 14 years old when she signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV. She was then signed by Scott Borchetta to Big Machine Records. Her self-titled debut album dropped on October 24, 2006, and the pop star hasn’t stopped creating, touring, and dropping Easter eggs for her fans since.
With 14 Grammys and 11 studio albums (with number 12 set to drop in October), Swift’s nonstop style has certainly paid off. A 2025 Forbes article listed her net worth at $1.6 billion.
In 2023, the Eras Tour pushed her from the millionaire category to billionaire status, making Swift the first woman to achieve her wealth through mainly performing, songwriting, and her extensive music catalog.
While Swift significantly outearns her man, Kelce’s income is nothing to turn your nose up at. According to a 2024 Forbes report, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end brings $52 million to the upcoming marriage.
In April of 2024, he signed a two-year contract extension with the Chiefs that’s worth $34.25 million. His popular podcast with brother Jason Kelce, New Heights, is reportedly under a three-year minimum contract worth $105 million. And let’s not forget Travis’ multiple endorsement deals, which might make the 2024 figure even higher.
What is Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s combined net worth?
By simply adding up both Forbes estimates, which are probably on the conservative side, this power couple will be worth a combined total of $1.652 billion. Kelce’s contribution is around 3.25%.
How does Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s net worth compare with other power couples?
One power couple that has Swift and Kelce beat: Beyoncé and Jay-Z. According to Forbes, Queen Bey is worth $780 million, while Jay-Z brings $2.6 billion to the table. That makes for a grand total of $3.38 billion. So if the power couples double-date, the hip-hop stars should pick up the bill.
Another more cinematic power couple who outrank Swift and Kelce are writer-director-producer extraordinaire Steven Spielberg and former actress Kate Capshaw. The Jaws director is worth $5.3 billion, and while Forbes doesn’t directly list Capshaw’s net worth because she has decided to pursue a more private life, she brings some wealth to the picture as well.
A more sporty power couple, Victoria and David Beckham, rank lower than Swift and Kelce. The former Spice Girl and soccer player are worth a combined sum of $514 million, according to the 2023 Sunday Times Rich List.
But even though fans know Swift is very much into numerology, we can assume she’s probably not thinking as much about dollars and figures since the proposal, because after years of writing about heartbreak and failed relationships, she’s finally found the love of her life.
Police dispatcher Julia Jordan accidentally added a dash of celebrity gossip to her public service this week when she shared “Taylor Swift is engaged” over a hot microphone.
That appears to be how officers in the Lansing, Michigan, area learned about the superstar singer’s betrothal to Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce.
The official announcement, made in a five-photo joint post on Instagram, marks the fairytale culmination of a courtship that for two years and has thrilled and fascinated millions around the world.
Joyful chaos ensued nationwide, with oddsmakers taking bets on when and where the celebrity couple would wed. Swifties, the pop star’s enormous and ardent fan base, can even wager on the flavor of the wedding cake.
Kansas City-based tax preparer H&R Block sent out a light-hearted email to staff, telling them they could head home early to check social media feeds and debate potential wedding playlists.
“Celebrate love. Speculate about the dress. Argue whether the reception will be held in KC or a castle in Europe,” the email said.
Matthew Pittman, an associate professor at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, hastily organized a skit before his social media class began Tuesday, pretending to cancel a test because of the engagement.
“I can’t focus. You all can’t focus. Class is canceled, get outta here,” Pittman told the students.
The video shows the students grabbing backpacks and rushing for the door. By the end of class, the video had around 50,000 views, and by dinner, around 1 million. It was so convincing that some news outlets mistakenly reported that Pittman actually did call off class because of the engagement. He had to reassure a higher-up at the university that he hadn’t.
“This is going to be like a royal wedding,” said Pittman, who has dozens of Swift’s songs on his running and workout playlist. “We don’t have a real king or queen or prince or princess, but we have this now. This is the joyous, happy love story. A lot of people need it.”
Jordan, the Ingham County, Michigan, dispatcher, said the last big event that she watched with coworkers was Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s 2018 nuptials. Now she thinks they might watch Swift and Kelce’s wedding together, especially after what happened.
After the first scanner flub, an officer informed her, “You had an open mic there,” and then deadpanned, “That’s great news about Taylor Swift.”
Jordan tried to fix the problem, but laughter erupted when she continued: “Dispatch. I’m clear. Yeah. Aren’t you happy about Taylor Swift?”
Jordan had been eagerly awaiting the news from the singer, whose hit song “Shake It Off” spoke to her. “We do a hard job, lots of dark things, so it’s kind of nice to be able to laugh a little,” she said.
Officers played along with the scanner mishap, one asking, “Well, give us some more gossip, at least.”
“It’s a big ring,” Jordan said.
“Best hot mic ever,” an officer declared.
Jordan has been ribbed ever since. “I had one ask me when I was planning to retire, and I said not soon enough.”
