Travis Kelce just inked a sweet deal with the Kansas City Chiefs – but is even that kind of cash impressive when your girlfriend is Taylor Swift? Jimmy Kimmel doesn’t think so! On his late-night show, Kimmel ribbed Kelce, poking fun at the wild difference in the couple’s net worth. Even with a mega-salary, Kelce’s the “broke boyfriend” in this scenario!
Despite signing a lucrative contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce’s net worth pales in comparison to his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Jimmy Kimmel playfully jests about this disparity on his show, teasing Kelce about being the “broke boyfriend”. Even with his substantial salary, Kelce finds himself in the unusual position of being the less financially secure partner in their relationship.
Jimmy Kimmel Pokes Fun at Kelce’s “Gum Money” Contract
“Travis Kelce just landed a massive extension with the Chiefs, making him the highest-paid tight end in the league,” Kimmel announced on his show. “But you know what? In his relationship, I think he might still be playing second fiddle.”
On the online platform known as X, which was formerly known as Twitter, a fan account dedicated to Taylor Swift, named Taylor Swift Updates, shared a video showing the hands of a couple holding each other. This video was subsequently shared by Pop Base, an entertainment news account, and quickly gained over 650,000 views. Fans expressed excitement and delight in response to the couple’s public display of affection, with many expressing their admiration for the couple.
The audience roared with laughter, and Kimmel continued, “Can you imagine? You make $34 million a year, and you’re still the ‘broke’ one at the dinner table? That’s gotta sting a little!”
Kimmel wasn’t kidding. Forbes pinned Taylor Swift’s net worth at over a billion dollars last year. “That’s not money, that’s a Scrooge McDuck vault of cash,” Kimmel joked. “Travis Kelce’s contract looks like spare change in comparison!”
Fans Call Kelce “Babygirl” – Kimmel’s Confused
Kimmel dug deeper, showing a celebratory video Kelce posted after signing the deal. He zeroed in on some of the fan comments, and they were… well, let’s just say a far cry from the usual sports commentary.
“Aw, look at his teary eyes,” Kimmel mocked in a falsetto voice. “He’s so babygirl? Is this a football player or someone’s pet hamster? Honestly, I can’t tell the difference anymore!”
A Billion-Dollar Girlfriend and Billboard Domination?
Shifting away from Kelce for a moment, Kimmel gave a shout-out to Swift’s latest career milestone. “Taylor’s out here breaking records like it’s her job,” he said. Not only did she have the top 14 spots on the Billboard Hot 100, but over half of her new album was in the top 50.
“So, Travis is sitting there with a cool new contract, and meanwhile, his girl is taking over the music world,” Kimmel quipped. “Talk about feeling overshadowed!”
Swift’s Lyrics Hint at Football-Themed Romance
Kimmel wrapped up the segment with a bit of speculation. Sources say Kelce got a sneak peek at Swift’s new album, The Tortured Poets Department, and some of those lyrics seem a little pointed.
“When she sings ‘touch down, cut the amateurs from the team,’ that’s gotta be about Kelce, right?” Kimmel mused. “She’s out there calling plays and winning championships while her man is just hoping for a touchdown.”
Conclusion
Look, Travis Kelce’s new Chiefs contract is nothing to sneeze at. But when you’re dating one of the biggest pop stars on the planet? Let’s just say your bank account isn’t what’s going to impress her. And for Jimmy Kimmel, that imbalance is the perfect setup for a hilarious punchline.
