Travis Kelce returned from his summer trip to Europe with Taylor Swift bearing over $130,000 worth of gifts for his Kansas City Chiefs teammates, according to reports.
Kelce enjoyed a whirlwind summer with Swift after joining his girlfriend on her international Eras Tour in London, where he even got up on stage himself for a cameo at Wembley Stadium.
The loved-up couple also jetted off to other European countries during the Chiefs tight end’s offseason, with Italy reportedly proving one of his favorite destinations.
He loved it so much, in fact, that he returned for preseason training camp with Italian-inspired gift boxes totaling more than $130,000 for his fellow Kansas City players.
According to the US Sun, Travis fell in love with Italy after visiting dreamy tourist spot Lake Como with Taylor over the summer, meaning he wanted to give his teammates a taste of what he experienced.
‘It’s the start of the training camp and Travis is super excited and wanted to show some love and appreciation to his teammates,’ a source close to Kelce is quoted as saying.
‘He always does this at the beginning of every season, but this year he wanted to do a special thing, and got them a little package of presents for each player and for some guys on the staff.’
Kelce is said to have arrived for training camp with 65 gift boxes for his teammates, which included a number of expensive fine Tuscan wines.
He reportedly shelled out a total of $19,500 on the 2021 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia red wine, with each bottle costing $300.
Bottles of the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Piaggione by Salicutti, which cost roughly $150 each, set him back a total of $9,750.
The legendary Kansas City star also made sure to treat his colleagues to some high-end accessories from luxury Italian designer Bottega Veneta.
He spent close to $34,000 on slick passport holders which were priced at $520 each, as well as almost $72,000 on calfskin leather travel pouches that cost $1,100 each.
Kelce splashed the cash on gifts for his teammates five months on from their second straight Super Bowl triumph in Las Vegas.
The Chiefs are looking to pull off a historic ‘three-peat’ in the upcoming season, which has never been done in the history of the NFL.
Swift, meanwhile, is currently in Poland for the latest leg of her Eras Tour.
According to reports, Travis and Taylor enjoyed Italy so much that they recently began house-hunting for a love nest in Lake Como.
