Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has just signed a lucrative contract extension, cementing his position as the highest-paid tight end in the NFL. However, despite his impressive salary, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel poked fun at the financial discrepancy between Kelce and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who was recently named a billionaire by Forbes.

Kelce, 34, secured a massive two-year deal with the Chiefs, earning him a staggering $34 million. During his monologue on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Tuesday night, Kimmel congratulated Kelce on his multimillion-dollar contract before jokingly asking his audience if they could imagine being in a relationship where they made $34 million and still felt like the "broke boyfriend."

Meanwhile, Swift, 34, was declared a billionaire by Forbes, thanks to her successful Eras Tour, extensive real estate portfolio, and lucrative music catalog. The business magazine estimated her net worth to be an impressive $1.1 billion.

Kimmel continued to highlight the financial contrast between the couple, teasing that Swift would consider Kelce's contract as mere "gum money." In jest, he remarked, "Another weird thing about dating Taylor Swift is you can be one of the great players of all time, and this is the reaction you get to your contract extension."

To emphasize his point, Kimmel showed a tearful video from Kelce's announcement of his career news, which received an outpouring of support from Swift's fanbase, known as the "Swifties." They affectionately referred to Kelce as "baby girl," "sweet boy," and "pookiest pookie," leading Kimmel to jest, "I'm not sure if he's a football player or a kitten."

Not disregarding Swift's extraordinary achievements, Kimmel also congratulated her on being the first artist in history to occupy all of the Top 14 spots on Billboard's Hot 100 list. The couple started dating in the summer of 2023, with rumors suggesting that several songs on Swift's latest album, "The Tortured Poets Department," were inspired by Kelce.

Kelce's affection for Swift was on display during teammate Patrick Mahomes' charity event, where he referred to her as his "significant other" while auctioning off four Eras Tour concert tickets. Kelce sealed the moment with a kiss on her shoulder.

While Kelce may not be in the same financial league as Swift, there is no denying that being a "sugar baby" has its perks for the three-time Super Bowl champion. With their contrasting financial successes, the couple continues to captivate attention both on and off the field.
