Travis Kelce didn’t spare much expense on his Valentine’s Day gifts for Taylor Swift.

The Chiefs’ superstar tight end reportedly splashed more than $US13,000 ($A20,000) on gifts for Swift, just days after winning Super Bowl 2024 and partying in Las Vegas.

Swift, who jetted back to America and travelled to Las Vegas from Tokyo for Super Bowl 2024 in the midst of her Eras Tour, recently travelled from Las Vegas to Melbourne, Australia for the next phase of her tour.

When she arrived in Melbourne, Swift was greeted by 250 eternity roses that were gifted by Kelce, according to The Sun, which were set in a “monumental round Parisian-inspired Hat Box” for a total cost of $US2100 ($A3210).

Swift soon received 250 more roses (another $2100) after the original arrived, according to the outlet, this time in hot pink.

Going along with the floral theme, Kelce also bought a handmade rose sculpture made by Perigold worth $US3100 ($A4740), the report added.

“Travis knows what she likes and is always wanting to send her lots of nice flowers,” a source told The Sun.

Kelce also reportedly bought gifts for the European leg of Swift’s tour, including a black beret from Dior for $US1100 ($A1680) and a Bottega Beneta handbag worth $US5100 ($A7800).

The two embraced on the field after the Super Bowl, the third Kelce has won with the Chiefs.

“You are so magical,” Swift said to Kelce, according to TMZ. “I’ve never been so proud in my life. I can’t believe you. How did you do that? How did you do it?”

Kelce has been generous elsewhere as well, as he donated $100,000 to the Reyes family, whose 8 and 10-year old daughters were shot in the leg during the Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooting, to support their recoveries.

Kelce said he was “heartbroken” after the shooting.

Swift earlier donated $100,000 to a fundraiser supporting the family of the woman killed in the shooting.

The GoFundMe page was set up one day prior, aiming to raise $75,000 for the family of Elizabeth Lopez-Galvan, who died in the shooting that also left 22 people injured, including several children.

“Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift”, read a message next to a $50,000 donation to the cause.

A second donation in the same amount was deposited minutes later.

A Swift’s aide confirmed to Variety magazine that the donations on the page were in fact the singer’s.
