Travis Kelce may be the highest paid tight end in the NFL, but Jimmy Kimmel still poked some fun at the Kansas City Chiefs star during his talk show on Tuesday (April 30).
“Congratulations to Travis Kelce,” Kimmel began in his show-opening monologue. “Travis Kelce signed a two-year contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs. He is now the highest-paid tight end in the NFL.”
Earlier this week, the 34-year-old tight end reached a two-year extension with the Kansas City Chiefs that will make Kelce the highest-paid tight end in the league, according to the NFL. Kelce is now under contract through the 2027 season and the deal adds $34.25 million to the two years remaining on his old deal, according to reports.
However, Kimmel joked that the salary is “gum money” to girlfriend Taylor Swift, who was added to Forbes World’s Billionaires List last month, as the “Fortnight” superstar amassed an estimated $1.1 billion fortune this year, according to the publication.
“Can you imagine being in a relationship where you make $34 million and you’re still the broke boyfriend?” Kimmel joked, before pointing out Swift’s major Billboard Hot 100 accomplishment following the release of her 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department.
He congratulated the star on being “the first artist in history to occupy all of the top 14 spots on Billboard’s Hot 100 list,” noting that “29 of the 31 tracks on her new album are in the top 50.”
“I feel like Taylor Swift at this point, if she wanted to, could win the Kentucky Derby,” Kimmel concluded. Watch his full monologue below.
Travis’ mom also opened up to Martha Stewart about why her sons tend to be forgetful about Mother’s Day.
Donna Kelce is still a big fan of son Travis’ relationship with Taylor Swift.
The Kelce matriarch sat down for a special Mother’s Day episode of The Martha Stewart Podcast, where she opened up to the lifestyle guru about why her NFL star son has found so much compatibility in his high-profile romance with the Midnights singer.
“They’re both friendly. They’re both generous. They’re both loving. They’re both caring individuals,” she reflected.
“You never know,” Donna added of the couple’s possible future together. “Time will tell.”
Taylor certainly has some big shoes to fill when it comes to becoming a Kelce daughter-in-law. Travis’ older brother, recently retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, has been married to his wife, Kylie, for six years, and the couple shares three daughters: Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1.
“[Jason] got so lucky. She is amazing,” Donna raved of her daughter-in-law. “Kylie is just one of a kind. I can’t say enough things about her. She holds the house together and she is an amazing woman.”
However, it seems neither Kylie, nor Taylor, can help keep Donna’s sons on track when it comes to remembering Mother’s Day. She joked that while her boys are usually extremely devoted, the early May holiday tends to slip through the cracks.
“They always remember my birthday, and they’re very generous at giving me gifts and things like that, trips and what have you, and taking care of Mom,” Donna shared. “I don’t have anything that I can complain about
