Let’s begin by talking a look at Travis Kelce’ salary with the Kansas City Chiefs. His yearly salary with K.C. is $14.7 M while his net worth is around $50M. Kelce’s four year deal with the Chiefs is worth $57.25M and he has two more years left on that deal. Plus, his girlfriend Taylor Swift, her net worth is over one Billion. You heard that right, Taylor Swift’s net worth is $1.3B… more than six times as much as Kelce’s. Swift is so rich that she gave out more than $55M in bonuses to her staff and she gave her truck drivers $100,000 dollars each. All 50 of them. 

Kelce is so popular that the mere mention of his name brings out his girlfriend’s fan — the Swifties — in droves.

Travis and his brother Jason have a podcast called New Heights that goes on for about an hour each week. Wednesday is the usual day it comes out and is named after the place they grew up, Cleveland Heights, Ohio.

Jason and Travis sold the show to Wondery, a subsidiary of Amazon, who bought out their rights, for $100,000 dollars in August of this year. In a joint statement by Jason and Travis said:

A piece by ESPN called, “Jason Kelce, Travis Kelce reportedly sign $100M+ podcast deal” and quotes Jen Sargent, Wondery CEO, as saying:

“Cultural Zeitgeist”? Wow, that’s high praise, but i guess the point is, it means the Kelce brothers will have to take it seriously.

I never have understood why these companies who are pushing there Covid products keep showing needles, and, needles going into arms. In my mind that may be the number one reason why people, and kids, don’t want to get the shots. It’s cray-cray to me. “Two Things at Once”… I know it’s politically incorrect, but I find this commercial (below) hilarious (0:30).

… has said, “Too many distractions going on in that boys life.” I couldn’t agree more.

The movie had it’s premiere just yesterday. Here is the trailer (2:36):

Here is the director, Ryan Murphy, on what it was like to work with Travis Kelce (2:21):

The question is, even though it all happened in the offseason, who has time for all this?

Kelce is set to host his first TV Show. It’s called: “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity” and it’s scheduled to air on October 16th of this year, just a few weeks down the line (0:20).

While some of these events are scheduled to take place in the offseason, this one obviously does not.

Cosmopolitan.com has an article called: “Every Single Chiefs Game Taylor Swift Can Attend This Season” and it brings up the question, if Taylor Swift a distraction to Travis Kelce, or not? Here is what they say about the next two Chiefs games:

Bobby Hobert has a website called, bobbyhobert.com in which he has an article called, “Being in a relationship is not a distraction” and in this piece he says:

From the beginning of their relationship, Taylor Swift was drawing firm boundaries. She told Travis that she could not talk to him prior to, or after her concert, to save her voice, when he had prepared a friendship bracelet with his number on it. Travis said he was “Butt-hurt” that he couldn’t give it to her, or meet with her… but — and this is important — he accepted it. So, from the outset of their relationship, they had a boundary that was set and respected.

If you ask me, they don’t have a distraction in one another. Has either of them changed the way they do business? No? Then it’s highly likely they don’t have a distractive relationship.
