“A lot of money here”: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s fairytale engagement comes with serious prenup talks

When Travis Kelce slipped a ring on Taylor Swift’s finger last week, the internet exploded with celebration. But beyond the dreamy engagement photos and viral hashtags, a practical question is already dominating the conversation: will the couple sign a prenuptial agreement? According to one top celebrity attorney, the answer is almost certainly yes.

Privacy and money will be at the heart of a Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce prenup

TMZ consulted high-profile divorce lawyer Jonathan Levin, who explained that the Swift-Kelce union isn’t just about love—it’s also about protecting privacy and massive financial assets. “We’re talking about a lot of money here,” Levin emphasized, noting that both Swift and Kelce have built multi-million-dollar empires through music, sports, and endorsements.

For a pair constantly in the spotlight, the issue of privacy looms just as large as dollars and cents.

Levin explained that in the event of a divorce, traditional court proceedings would become a media circus. To avoid that, “they’ll probably select a private judge, a retired judge, or a binding mediation.” That setup ensures both sides can settle disputes quietly, away from the flashing cameras and courtroom leaks.

Why separation of property is standard in celebrity prenups

Beyond privacy, Levin noted that celebrity prenups follow a tried-and-true formula: “they keep everything separate and clarify separate property, so it’s cleaner if they have to dissolve the marriage.”

This clarity not only protects both stars’ independent wealth but also prevents future legal entanglements over who owns what.

There’s another layer too—planning for the future. Should Swift and Kelce decide to start a family, Levin pointed out that the last thing they’d want is custody or parenting battles playing out in a public forum. A prenup allows them to set expectations early and avoid the fallout of highly publicized disputes.Also Read: Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s big day may not include Chiefs teammate after sexist comments ignites outrageFor Swifties, the thought of “dissolving the marriage” is almost unthinkable. Still, Levin insists he “doesn't see a world where those papers go unsigned.” Love may be the foundation of this engagement, but when two of the world’s biggest stars come together, legal protection is part of the package.
