When you’re dating one of the world’s biggest pop stars (who also happens to have recently achieved billionaire status) the pressure to deliver the perfect birthday gift must be pretty intense. But Taylor Swift‘s birthday gifts from Travis Kelce this year prove that he knows exactly how to rise to the occasion—even if it means spending an astonishing amount!

According to the U.S. Sun, Kelce spent nearly $175,000 on Swift’s 35th birthday presents. But what exactly did this six-figure birthday splurge look like? For starters, Kelce kicked things off with a romantic gesture that would make any Swiftie swoon. While getting flowers usually means a nice bouquet from your local florist, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end kicked things up about a thousand notches by sending Swift 35 luxury arrangements from The Million Roses—one for each year of her life. This gesture alone carried a price tag of $19,325—and it was just the beginning of Kelce’s lavish birthday surprise for his girlfriend.
The real showstoppers came in small packages—you know, the kind with designer logos. According to the U.S. Sun, Kelce went all out with some seriously jaw-dropping jewelry picks. First up: a rose gold Day-Date 36 Rolex worth $60,350, because apparently, the billionaire pop star could always use more reasons to sing about midnight! The NFL star also got a series of meaningful pieces from Tiffany & Co., including a personalized gold split cuff featuring a heart engraving on the inside, priced at $22,000, and a $25,000 Elsa Peretti open-heart bracelet. Last but certainly not least, Kelce also went shopping at Van Cleef & Arpels, where he chose several pieces from their iconic Alhambra collection: a long necklace ($35,500), vintage pendant ($8,200), and matching earrings ($4,150).
“Thirty-five years old is a very important birthday, and he wanted to make things really special for this special occasion,” a source close to the couple told The U.S. Sun. The timing of these gifts was extra meaningful, seeing as how Swift has just wrapped her record-breaking Eras Tour in Vancouver. “The last few months have been very intense for the both of them, and now they just want to enjoy each other,” the source added.
Despite having to make an appearance at a mandatory Kansas City Chiefs Christmas party—where he was honored with a Walter Payton Man of the Year nomination—Kelce made sure to prioritize his girlfriend’s special day. Page Six reported that he left the team event early just to spend private time with Swift, proving that even with all of these extravagant purchases, sometimes the most meaningful gift is simply being present.
This marks birthday celebration number two for the couple, and we can’t help but wonder: if this is how Kelce celebrates 35, what on earth does he have planned for future milestones?! One thing’s certain: when it comes to making Taylor Swift’s “wildest dreams” come true, Travis Kelce seems to know exactly what he’s doing!
