Travis Kelce’s overbearing Christmas gift to Taylor Swift revealed

Travis Kelce has chosen to give his girlfriend Taylor Swift the gift of “safety and security” for Christmas, according to sources who explained that the star has installed a security room in his $6 million mansion in Kansas City.

The move comes after Kelce’s property was targeted by thieves in October while the NFL star and Swift were at a game at nearby Arrowhead Stadium.

Naturally, the couple was shocked by the home invasion in which the thieves – who also raided the home of Travis’ teammate Patrick Mahomes – walked away with $100,000 in jewelry, $20,000 in cash and the player’s first-ever Super Bowl jersey.

An insider opened up about why the Kansas City Chiefs tight end felt it was time to make renovations to the home he and Swift spend time in together, stating that Kelce wanted the couple to always be able to enjoy a “good night’s sleep ‘. when located at his home.

“As the holidays approach, Travis has gone to great lengths to ensure the security system and security staff in his home are invincible,” the source revealed exclusively to DailyMail.com. “The best gift he can give them both is safety and the assurance that they will always have a good night’s sleep.”

Swift will spend a lot of time with Kelce in Kansas City in the coming weeks as the demands of the NFL season increase and the Chiefs pursue a third straight Super Bowl title.

The insider went on to talk about the new security measures Kelce has put in place at the home, continuing, “In addition to a team of skilled security protecting the perimeter and surrounding grounds of his home 24/7, he has also installed a security room during his renovations. , which also includes an underground man cave.

‘He has installed a state-of-the-art security system where every possible access, including all windows, is protected.’

The source added: ‘The burglary was a huge wake-up call for them, and they will spare no expense when it comes to their safety.’

The NFL star’s renovations came after a source previously confirmed to DailyMail.com that the star would not be selling the property despite the shocking security breach.

The burglary at Kelce’s lavish $6 million home in Leawood, Kansas occurred on October 7 – the same day the Chiefs defeated the New Orleans Saints in Arrowhead as Swift, 34, watched from the stands.

“This was a calculated burglary and Taylor and Travis are not taking any chances,” an insider said at the time. ‘The intruders knew exactly when the house would be empty and could easily see that she was at the game he was playing.

‘They knew how long to carry out the heist depending on the end of the game.

‘After the match [the couple] stayed in a hotel and since then they have taken drastic measures including a more advanced home security system and reinforced locks, etc.”

The situation was an unwanted reminder of Swift’s own confrontations with intruders. In January, a man was arrested after trying to open the front door of her Manhattan townhouse in New York City.

The insider confirmed that Swift was not the target of the attack on Kelce’s mansion, and noted that Swift and her family always feel safe when she is with the NFL champion.

“Taylor feels safe when she is with Travis and he is by her side,” the insider added. ‘Her family feels safe when he is with her.

‘And they will both now feel incredibly safe in his home, as they also have 24-hour armed security staff to ensure something like this never happens again. They spare no expense.’

Mahomes and Kelce both live in the suburbs of Kansas City, about a half hour from Arrowhead Stadium.

Kelce moved into his new home in Leawood last year, while the Mahomes family lives in Belton, Missouri.

The burglars reportedly targeted Mahomes’ home around midnight on Oct. 6, just over a day before the Chiefs faced the Saints at Arrowhead Stadium.

All parties have put the dramatic event behind them, with Swift deciding to host Kelce and his family at her Nashville home over Thanksgiving.

And last week, Kelce threw his girlfriend an epic Eras Tour-themed party to celebrate the end of her record-breaking tour and her 35th birthday on December 13.

Swift wrapped up her record-breaking tour – which grossed $2 billion – on December 8 after nearly two years on the road.

Despite previous reports that she was “exhausted” after performing nearly 150 shows, Swift seemed excited to celebrate her special day with the likes of Brittany and Patrick Mahomes.

Kelce’s good friend Ross Travis – a former NFL player himself – uploaded the photos to his Instagram with the caption: “Epic night for an Epic run!”

In one of the images, Travis and Taylor looked friendly as Ross Travis sang into a microphone. He captioned the photo on his Instagram Story: “Eras completed, congratulations Tay!”

The other showed Taylor herself dancing with the microphone in her hand while Kelce stood close to her.

Brittany Mahomes first shared photos from the party on her own social media account on Wednesday afternoon.

Kelce and Swift celebrated their one-year anniversary in July, after officially meeting a few months before Taylor attended her first Chiefs game in September 2023.

The singer and songwriter previously explained to Time Magazine that they started dating after Kelce admitted he tried and failed to give her his phone number.

“We started hanging out right after that,” she said. “So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for because we got to know each other.

“I think some people think they saw our first date at that game. We would never be psychotic enough to initiate a first date.’

Meanwhile, fans hope to see if the romance can inspire new music like Swift was seen making multiple trips to Electric Lady Studios in New York earlier this year.

At this time, it is still unknown whether she was working on new music or making progress on her journey by re-recording all the songs from her first six albums.

She only has two albums left to re-record her debut album, Taylor Swift, and her sixth release, Reputation.
