In a Valentine’s Day gesture that’s more grandiose than your average rom-com plot twist, Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, decided to redefine #CoupleGoals by sending Taylor Swift a whopping $16,000 worth of gifts. Yes, you read that correctly. While most of us are over here debating the merits of a dozen roses vs. a box of chocolates, Kelce is out here playing love in legendary mode.
The lovebirds, officially made their relationship Instagram-official after the Super Bowl—because if it’s not on social media, is it even real?—celebrated their first Valentine’s Day in true celebrity fashion: extravagantly and across continents. With Swift touring in Japan and Kelce in the US fresh off his Super Bowl victory (because nothing says “I love you” like a Super Bowl ring), the distance was but a mere inconvenience for Kelce’s grand romantic plans.
Reportedly, Kelce’s love arsenal included 250 Eternity roses, because why settle for regular roses that wilt when you can have ones that last an entire year? These weren’t just any roses, though. They came in two installments worth $2,100 each—one batch presumably not being enough to convey the depths of Kelce’s affections.
But why stop at flowers? Kelce also gifted Swift a handmade rose sculpture by Perigold valued at $3,100, a $5,100 Bottega Veneta bag, and a black lambskin Dior beret for a cool $1,100. Because nothing screams “I adore you” quite like high fashion and everlasting flora.
The source close to the couple revealed, “Travis knows what she likes and is always wanting to send her lots of nice flowers.” It’s the thought that counts, but when the thought comes with a $16,000 price tag, it certainly counts for a lot more.
Swift, who flew from Japan to Melbourne to continue her Eras Tour, found these opulent tokens of affection waiting for her. This gesture not only sets the bar impossibly high for Valentine’s Day future but also solidifies Kelce’s position as the boyfriend who can make flowers last as long as his love (or at least for a year).
In the grand tapestry of celebrity relationships, this grand gesture from Kelce to Swift is a vivid splash of color. It’s a reminder that, in the world of the rich and famous, love isn’t just expressed through words or actions, but through lavish gifts that most of us can only dream of.
As the world watches this fairy-tale romance unfold, one thing’s for certain: Kelce and Swift are not just playing the love game; they’re aiming to win it, one luxury gift at a time.
