BIG SPENDER Travis Kelce ‘like a kid in a candy store’ as he spends $81k on Paris shopping spree during Taylor Swift’s Era’s tour: The NFL star picked up a stack of classy accessories and threads in the French capital
The Kansas City Chiefs superstar has been showering Taylor Swift and his mom with gifts in recent weeks, as revealed by The U.S. Sun. But on a trip to Paris, France, recently to support Taylor at the resumption of her blockbuster Eras tour, Travis took to the streets of the French capital and shopped until he dropped. The 34-year-old three-time Super Bowl champion was, according to a well-placed insider, like a “kid in a candy store” as he splurged over $80,000 on clothes, jewelry, and accessories from some of the finest Parisian stores.
“Travis is a fashionista,” said the source. “He’d been looking forward to this trip for weeks.” Travis has a keen eye for high-end brands and was happy to spend $3,650 on a smart Louis Vuitton travel jacket, fine-crafted in Italy. “Perfect for a weekend getaway, this lightweight technical blouson stands out with a graphic all over Damier Pop print from the SS24 Show in tones of blue on black,” said the official product description.
“Drawing on the collection’s dandy inspiration, this piece is ennobled with a crystal-embroidered ‘Marque L. Vuitton déposée’ signature on the left sleeve, and has matching pants for a smart elevated set.” Another $3,400 was spent in the same store on a checkered windbreaker and $3,000 on a varsity jacket.
“This sleek black style features a shawl collar and offset button fastening, as well as embroidered vintage symbols on the chest and back. Colorful intarsia stripes and a playful Fox Checkerboard pattern complete this piece that will bring new style to everyday looks,” the Louis Vuitton website said. Taylor gifted Travis and Kansas teammate Patrick Mahomes bespoke leather bags after the pair broke the post-season touchdown combination record.
That didn’t stop him from dropping another $11,000 on a beautiful Louis Vuitton leather suitcase, with snazzy colors and designs for that extra-special feel. “Here the Monogram pattern appears to be drawn by hand for a colorful reinterpretation that adds daisies and dogs to the classic motif,” said the product description.
“With its optimized inside volume and its strong design Rolling Trunk will be the perfect travel companion.” Next stop was iconic designer Yves Saint Laurent, where Travis purchased a classy wool flannel jacket for $3,950, before $8,200 was spent on an uber-cool backpack as well as another leather bag from Hermes which cost $5,200. April 2024: Travis sends $27k worth of gifts including 11 flower deliveries in one day to mark release of 11th album.
February 2024: Travis splashes $16k on Valentine’s gifts including an eternity rose sculpture, Hermes scarf and Dior beret. Earlier in month, sends more roses and stunning Bulgari earrings to commemorate her historic Grammys win. January 2024: Taylor shows her thoughtful side by ordering bespoke Louis Vuitton bags and jackets to celebrate Travis and Kansas City Chiefs pal Patrick Mahomes for breaking a post-season touchdown combination record.
December 2004: Travis brings some festive cheer by splashing out on some $5k Louboutin shoes, matching bag and a $23k Cartier watch. He also books luxury suites at hotels for when Taylor’s Eras tour hits Europe. Stellar shoe designer Christian Louboutin is a favorite of Taylor – The U.S Sun revealed Travis brought her some typically sparkly shoes for Christmas. So it’s no surprise the NFL star bought a sleek-looking pair of brown leather boots from the brand.
“He really loves fashion, to look very good in his clothes and accessories, and he was like a kid in a candy store doing shopping in the city of love and worldwide known fashion and style,” the source said. The final stop on his whistle-stop tour of Paris’ most exclusive stores took him to Cartier, where a bundle of top-notch watches and accessories were snapped up. He spent a cool $15,000 on a beautiful Cartier tank watch and another $21,000 on a Ballon Bleu timepiece.
Two yellow gold earrings, totaling $2,300 were also snapped up along with a smart-looking leather Cartier briefcase at $3,100 to put the seal on a very successful – and expensive – shopping trip. “All those brands represent excellence and high style,” said the insider. “Taylor loves his style too, so he gives a lot of importance to the clothes he wears. He wants to create his own style.”
