It turns out that even if your boyfriend is playing in the Super Bowl, you don't get free access to a suite to watch him play.
According to Travis Kelce, the Super Bowl luxury suite where his girlfriend Taylor Swift and her friends, including Ice Spice and Blake Lively, cheered him on back in February came with a very, very, very hefty price tag indeed.
As noted by ET, the price of said suite came up in a scene in Netflix's new football documentary Receiver. Travis Kelce is seen talking to San Francisco 49ers player George Kittle about the upcoming Super Bowl, and asks him if he's purchasing a suite for his family.
"You guys doing a suite?" Kelce asks. "No, I can't," Kittle replies. "Because they're f*cking 3 million dollars?" Kelce quips with a laugh.
While at first it may seem like Kelce is exaggerating the price tag, a little research proves that he is not. Hospitality company Suite Experience Group lists on their site that luxury suites for Super Bowl LIX (2025) will “range in price from $750,000-$2,000,000 (£579,000 - £1,540,000).” DAZN reports that prices for this year's Super Bowl suites reached a “peak at $2.5 million (£1,930,000)” but decreased as the game date approached.
This means that either Swift or Kelce paid somewhere in the neighbourhood of $3 million (£2.3 million) for their star-studded Super Bowl suite, and we're pretty sure it's the latter who signed the check. Back in February, a source divulged to TMZ that the suites cost “well over $1 million (£772,000)” and that Kelce was paying the tab for Swift and her crew, plus his friends and family, including his brother Jason and Jason's wife Kylie.
A recent viral column argued that Taylor is not a role model because she is unmarried and child-free.
That's definitely not a bargain, but, honestly, Kelce can afford it. The athlete signed a $34 million (£26 million) deal with the Kansas City Chiefs for another two years, making him the highest-paid tight end in the NFL and keeping him in KC for a bit longer. Swift can also afford it — the billionaire singer will keep adding to her ever-expanding collection of #87 merch, vintage sweatshirts, and Chiefs jackets, regardless of how much those suites cost.
