Taylor Swift is reportedly increasing security at Travis Kelce’s $6 million mansion in Kansas City after the property was targeted by an international crime gang. The incident came to light following a brazen robbery in October, during which thieves made off with approximately $100,000 in jewelry, $220,000 in cash, Kelce’s first Super Bowl jersey, and a watch that has since been recovered in Rhode Island. The break-in, which lasted less than 15 minutes, has sparked an FBI investigation as concerns mount over the safety of NFL players amidst rising crime rates.
Despite the unsettling situation, Swift plans to spend the upcoming holiday season with Kelce, showing her support as he navigates a busy schedule with the Kansas City Chiefs, who are vying for a third consecutive Super Bowl title. A source close to the couple indicated that Swift is eager to experience the Chiefs’ pursuit of another championship and will be spending quality time with Kelce through intimate dinners and holiday baking.
The crime wave affecting NFL players is alarming, with Kelce’s teammate Patrick Mahomes also being targeted just a day before the break-in at Kelce’s residence. The two were playing against the New Orleans Saints during that time. In response to the robbery, Kelce has taken measures to enhance his home security, including upgrading his security system and installing reinforced locks. Swift, known for her meticulous approach to security, is also traveling with her own security team during her stay.
Kelce, 35, has kept a low profile regarding the robbery, while Mahomes expressed his frustration at a recent press conference, emphasizing the unwelcome nature of such incidents. The investigation into the break-ins remains ongoing, with authorities working to determine the extent of the crime gang’s operations.
As the Chiefs prepare to host the Houston Texans this Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium, the team faces uncertainty surrounding Mahomes’ participation due to a high ankle sprain sustained in a recent game against the Cleveland Browns. Following the Texans game, the Chiefs will travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers on Christmas Day, rounding off the regular season against the Denver Broncos on January 5.
Swift’s determination to support Kelce during this challenging time reflects the couple’s commitment to each other amid the pressures of their respective careers. As they brace for the holiday season and the upcoming NFL games, both will undoubtedly prioritize safety and security while cherishing their time together.
