Travis Kelce probably attached a lyrics-NDA to his prenup with Taylor Swift?

I don’t doubt that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce signed a prenup before their wedding. My guess is that prenup negotiations began soon after Travis’s proposal, and that neither party was offended. Everything we know about Taylor and her business sense indicates that she would protect her assets. Everything we know about Travis is that he’s well-managed and pretty smart about money. He’s worth about $90 million, and she’s worth $2 billion (probably more). So what does their prenup actually look like? Well, some random lawyer thinks that the financial part of the document is probably pretty cut-and-dry, but that Travis probably attached some kind of lyrical NDA to the prenup. As in, if they ever divorce, Taylor can’t write songs about him.

She has a reputation for dissing ex-lovers in songs with soulful but thinly veiled barbs shortly after break-ups. But heaven forbid Love Story singer Taylor Swift ever splits with Travis Kelce, because she might find that somewhat trickier in this case.

As the double-branded couple prepared for their over-the-top Madison Square Garden wedding in New York City, the attorneys were feverishly at work. And that means that their alleged celebrity prenup to end all prenups could potentially have a privacy clause that hampers the $2billion songstress from picking over the relationship in her lyrics, a top Manhattan divorce attorney has told the Daily Mail.

Any such quirky demand might be one of many in an expected 40-page document spelling out the individual wealth and expectations of America’s hottest couple as they seal their fortunes. Or, more romantically, get married – as they did on Friday, in a lavish ceremony officiated by comedian Adam Sandler. For despite being worth an estimated $90million, 36-year-old NFL legend Kelce’s money pot and earnings potential is severely outgunned by that of his new wife, who is the same age.

Top New York City divorce attorney and prenup expert Jacqueline Newman believes that despite some interesting wrinkles, the legalities of who has what after a split could be fairly straightforward. ‘I think the prenup is actually going to be a pretty simple document – what’s his right now will be his and what’s hers is hers,’ she said.

Newman, who specializes in ultra-high net worth divorces and matrimonial negotiations from her Manhattan office, continued: ‘If they put money into a joint asset using joint names, like a home, they’d both get back what they put in plus any appreciation.’

Experts believe the same degree of separation would go into future earnings, where Swift still has the potential to surpass those of her gargantuan 21-month Eras Tour whose 149 shows in five continents grossed $2.077billion in ticket sales. She also jealously guards her other intellectual property and paid a reported $360million to retrieve the masters of her first six albums.

So to the question of three-time Super Bowl winner Kelce getting a share of future earnings after any split, Newman said: ‘My guess is not. Unless they decide to do something together in some capacity. She values her output greatly and I believe there will be a very clear document that says what she creates in the future is hers. Similarly, he’s got creative things that he would obviously want to retain. I believe they will be very respectful.’

I agree with the guess/assessment that the financial stuff is pretty simple. I don’t even think Travis is a golddigger in the traditional sense – he sees the value of being WITH Taylor and being married to her. This isn’t some kind of pump-and-dump scheme where he’s looking to eventually get some kind of quick divorce settlement. He wants to build his brand side-by-side with Taylor and he’s clearly in it for the long-haul. All that being said, I hope he did add a clause to the prenup about Taylor’s song lyrics.

    I hope he did NOT!

    Does Travis wear a Toupee? Why is his hair a different color, length, and style in each/different photo I see of him? Both look and act like lumberjacks!

  3. LBB says:

    There is NO way she would sign off on that rider to a pre nup.

  4. Graphinya Heather says:

    I wonder if the pre nup includes who gets the MAGA friends

    If he’s smart, he did, although that would affect her future potential earnings. But she could have attached a fidelity clause that included nullifying the lyrics NDA if breached, before agreeing to attach the lyrics NDA to the prenup. She didn’t become a billionaire by following bad business advice. She will protect her assets and any potential future earnings.

      Yeah if there is any truth to this then I’m sure there are caveats galore, and I’m sure it goes both ways – he can’t use things in his podcast or whatever might be out in 5-10 years if there is a divorce.

  6. Mightymolly says:

    Oh please. The divorce album will be one part maudlin Sinead and one part victorious Cher, neither of which requires giving identifiable details about the ex.

  7. Flamingo says:

    I can imagine a clause is they can’t speak badly about each other in the press. Which the media spins to sound like lyrics.

    I doubt Travis would try to suppress her artistry. Or would Taylor allow it. Other than Dear John, which she swears wasn’t about John Mayer, but totally was about John Mayer. It’s not like she is going to have a record named Travis and diss songs for a whole record if they divorce one day. But I mean if she did I would be cool with it 🙂

    They are just two big entities and the prenup just keeps it from being messy and dealing with big assets and contracts they sign for big money.

    You know what, I trust them to got this or simply stay together. Look at their families, there is no drama even though both sets of parents are divorced. In my opinion that speaks volumes.

  9. Ameerah M says:

    Ain’t no way she signed something that included that – her entire career is built on writing songs about exes. It’s her bread and butter.

    His glow down should be studied.

    Putting aside the fame and the money for a second, and even T&T themselves -> if I was an artist I would be incredibly offended if the person I was marrying wanted to be entirely excluded from that art form. AND if I was marrying someone who was an artist I would never ask to be excluded from it. Like, at a high level, what an incredible thing to have your relationship preserved within art even if it’s the not so great parts.

    Hopefully at some point you’ve moved on enough to really appreciate those moments for good or bad and maybe even any art that came from it. And even if you are never happy about the art that comes out of it, you can still at least respect the artistry of the person who you cared enough about to be in a relationship with.

    I mean, if you’re THAT concerned about it what are you planning to DO that would get written about?
