Swifties might say it’s the ‘Taylor Swift effect,’ while NFL fans will argue that Travis Kelce is the man! Nevertheless, the Kansas City Chiefs have achieved noteworthy success throughout their football career.
In a recent update, the NFL star reportedly made a fortune when his game-used jersey sold for thousands of dollars at auction.
Travis Kelce Looks Like He’s Still Enjoying the ‘Taylor Swift Effect,’ Breaking Auction House Records
According to new information, jersey No. The 87 worn by Kelce during the Chiefs’ 2019 win against the Los Angeles Chargers in Mexico City has sold for an impressive $37,000. The sale, conducted through Goldin Auctions, set a record for a game-used item from the 34-year-old at the auction house.
Following the purchase, Ken Goldin, the owner of the auction, revealed that it was an “all-time record” for an item used by the Chiefs star. He further explained to TMZ, saying:
“He’s always been popular but the success of the Chiefs, as well as the publicity he’s gotten about his relationship with Taylor Swift, has increased his popularity and awareness among collectors.”
While Goldin only acknowledged the apparent state of heightened interest in Kelce’s love life, it’s not the first time his jersey has sold for a high price.
Back in September, when rumors about the NFL star and Swift began to circulate, The Blast reported that the latter created a stir when he enthusiastically cheered for Kelce during the Chiefs’ game against the Chicago Bears.
Shortly after the game, Fanatics, the NFL’s official e-commerce partner, claimed that the presence of the “Look What You Made Me Do” hitmaker led to a surge in popularity for Kelce’s jersey. This makes it one of the most sought after items in the NFL Shop.
As one source explained, “As of yesterday, Travis Kelce was one of the top 5 best-selling NFL players and saw a nearly 400% increase in sales across Fanatics’ network of sites, including NFLShop.com.”
As for her time there, Swift was seen excitedly getting up from her seat and joining in the celebration when her beau scored the touchdown. The moment, which included commemorating Kelce’s mother, Donna, in a private suite, was captured on camera and broadcast on X.
“Honestly, they’ve been together more than we all thought… #Taylor #TaylorSwift …. He likes her. Period,” one viewer wrote under the viral clip. Another X user commented at length:
“I support both of these. Taylor and Travis, that is. I can see it. I think Kelce has a sleek new haircut and looks slimmer. Now we know why…right? #TaylorSwift #TravisKelce Do we say #TayTrav, or is that a combination?”

Amid support from Swifties, the Grammy Award winner finally shared some details about her romance with Kelce, insisting that they started dating long before speculation about them arose.
According to The Blast, Swift revealed that they were in a relationship after the Cleveland Heights graduate revealed that she was a bit disappointed that she didn’t get to give him the friendship bracelet she made for him during a stop on the Eras Tour.
Sharing the story on the “New Heights” podcast in July, she added, “He didn’t meet anyone, or at least he didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personally.” The “Blank Space” singer described the incident as “metal as h—,” and declared that they started hanging out soon after. In his words:
“We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a lot of time that no one knew about, which I’m thankful for because we got to know each other.”
The MTV Video Music Award winner continued, “By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think they saw our first date at the game? We’ll never be psychotic enough to go on a first date.”
Later, Swift expressed her surprise that the media kept tracking her every time she showed up to support Kelce at his games. He said:
“I don’t know how they knew my suite was. There’s a camera, like, half a mile away, and you don’t know where it’s at, and you don’t know when the camera put you on the air, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.”
