Chiefs president reveals his promise to Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift to never ‘monetize’ off their relationship
Kansas City Chiefs President Mark Donovan revealed he promised Travis Kelce not to profit off his romance with Taylor Swift.
“I told Travis, ‘Look, we are going to treat you and your relationship with the same respect that we treat any other player or coach’s relationship,’” the businessman shared on Monday’s episode of “Up & Adams.”
“It’s a relationship. We’re not going to monetize it, we’re not going to go out there and go crazy.”

Donovan explained that Swift is never shown on Arrowhead Stadium’s broadcast boards, unlike other news outlets that flash her on-camera.
“For a couple of years, all those shots you see in the stadium. He scores a touchdown. He makes a catch. It goes to Taylor,” he said.
“Especially the first year. We never showed Taylor on our big boards in our stadium, never. It was respectful. We’re not going to do that.”
Donovan emphasized that he’s not interested in “taking advantage of [Kelce and Swift’s] relationship.”
Mysterious Taylor Swift installation pops up on Sunset Boulevard
Swifties are making their way to a mysterious Taylor Swift-themed installation in Los Angeles.
The display at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Holloway Drive left fans speculating about what the “Life of a Showgirl” songstress could be teasing.
The setup features cutouts of the singer, including one showing Swift from behind in a “Fearless” dress while holding her guitar in front of a gold, glittery backdrop.
Another cutout captures her singing into the microphone during the Eras Tour while performing her hit 2024 track, “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.”
The pop-up, wrapped in a barricaded sidewalk perimeter, also includes promotional banners with the Disney+ logo and the titles of Swift’s upcoming docuseries and concert film.
Her releases — “End of an Era” and the “Final Show” — are both set to premiere on Disney+ on Dec. 12.
Sabrina Carpenter gushes over being the only featured artist on ‘bestie’ Taylor Swift’s ‘Life of a Showgirl’ album
Sabrina Carpenter is still in disbelief that she was chosen as the only featured artist on Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” album.
“Ten-year-old me, for so many reasons, could not believe it — to hear our voices together,” the singer told Variety Wednesday.
“We definitely realized it was special, but I would have never been like, ‘Hey, bestie, put me on a song,’” the “Espresso” hitmaker quipped.
“She was so gracious to think of me for a song that spoke to our life experiences in such a real, genuine way. It really sums up what so many young women in this industry go through.”
Carpenter is featured on the album’s title track, and the two Grammy winners definitely know a thing or two about the life of a superstar.
Fans watched their friendship bloom as the “Manchild” singer opened up for Swift on her record-breaking Eras Tour. Last month, the besties were also spotted having a glam girls’ night out at one of NYC’s trendiest spots, The Corner Store.
Taylor Swift’s top Spotify listeners received a very special message from the pop star this week.
Those who streamed her music the most this year were treated to a video when opening their 2025 Spotify Wrapped on Wednesday.
“Oh, hey! So if this is popping up on your phone, then chances are you listened to a lot of my music this year on Spotify. It’s Taylor, by the way,” Swift’s message began.
“Thank you for doing that. Thank you for all your support with ‘The Life of a Showgirl.'”
The singer teased there’s “a lot of reminiscing” on the way with her new docuseries, the “End of an Era,” and concert film, the “Final Show,” both premiering on Disney+ on Dec. 12.
Toward the end of her video, the “Fate of Ophelia” songstress wished her fans a “wonderful holiday season” and shared one final message of appreciation.
“I’m so grateful for you. Thank you for everything,” she concluded, blowing a kiss to the camera.
Last year, Swift was crowned Spotify’s “Global Top Artist” for the second year in a row, with 26.6 billion streams worldwide.
However, she was dethroned this year by Bad Bunny.
The Super Bowl 2026 performer reached 19.8 billion global streams and previously held the title for three consecutive years.
