 At the same time that Travis Kelsey is enjoying his budding romance with pop star Taylor Swift, he's also enjoying his growing real estate portfolio. The NFL star, also known as T-Swift's current love interest, recently purchased a $6 million home in Kansas City, Missouri, which is apparently a major upgrade from his other residents. Kelsey bought the fancy new digs for better privacy while dating Taylor because those they are out of control. As public fascination with the new couple continues to grow, it's no surprise that the athlete is serious about protecting their relationship. The new paparazzi-proof mansion is set inside a gated community, a nearly 3.5 acres of land at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, and inside spans 17,000 square feet. Kelsey's latest estate is far more secluded than his other home in Kansas City, a 4,200 square foot home in the city's Briarcliff West neighborhood that he purchased for $995,000 in 2019. Chief's tight end Travis Kelsey recently scored a Kansas City mansion for $6 million, which is a significant upgrade from his former pad. Kelsey has been linked to superstar Taylor Swift since September, and the couple has been going quite public, with Swift showing up to multiple Chief's games this year, as well as some other couple outings. At first, there were rumors that it was Swift looking to purchase a home in Kansas City, but now we know it was Travis. Taylor reportedly just went with him to view it. The decision to invest in a new estate came after Swifties allegedly began flocking to his former home, and Travis was becoming uneasy with how accessible this property was to fans and paparazzi. This new mansion, being in a secure and gated community, is a way to protect Travis and Taylor's privacy. According to the New York Post, Kelsey was also a little self-conscious with his pretty modest pad and wanted something a bit more grand to impress his new love interest. I mean, with Taylor's insane real estate portfolio, who could blame him? Well, Travis's new crib is located in the upscale community of Leigh Wood, and as mentioned, his suburb is completely gated. The grandest estate sits on nearly 3.5 acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, and it's way more secluded than his other home in Kansas City, which was set in the Briar Cliff West neighborhood. The athlete's new, fanciest estate measures nearly 17,000 square feet, and includes six bedrooms and six bathrooms. According to the listing, the mansion was originally built in 1998, and underwent a massive renovation thanks to Wolfgang Trost Architect and builder Harry Roth. The gated entrance opens to a dramatic circular driveway, while inside, there's an equally dramatic foyer with soaring ceilings. The mansion is any entertainer's dream, and boasting an impressive chef's kitchen, formal dining room, media lounge, wine cellar, and full bar. There's also a ton of living areas for Travis to unwind after game day, or for him and Taylor to cozy up in. You'll find a handful of sporty amenities on the property, such as a lighted tennis court, pickleball court, mini golf course, and a practice screen, plus, of course, a swimming pool. There's also a garage where the Ohio native will presumably store his 1970 Chevelle 408 Stoker convertible, the now famous getaway car. Outside, the expansive backyard is anchored by the Beverly Hills style pool area, with plenty of space for lounge chairs, umbrellas, and more. Well, there's also a waterfall and a hot tub to boot. Swift has traveled to Kansas City twice to watch her new bow play, and the coming and goings of the couples have attracted a lot of attention. And nosy fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the couple have reportedly started swinging by Kelsey's warmer home, which is visible from the street. Kelsey has added a few properties to his portfolio in the years since getting signed to the Chiefs. The two-time Super Bowl champs scooped up his former Kansas City house after his 2019 Super Bowl win, located in the Briar Cliff West neighborhood. At the time, Kelsey paid under a million dollars for the 10,000-square-foot crib, which features five bedrooms, two baths, a fitness room, movie theater, and a swimming pool. Travis' stunning customized estate is situated in the utterly luxurious Briar Cliff West community, and it cost him $995,000. Originally constructed in 1984, Travis' home underwent a massive renovation back in 2007, when the entire main floor and upper level were redone with additional features like travertine tiles, new lighting, updated appliances, and granite counters. In addition to owning a home with an eat-in kitchen, Travis' 10,000-square-foot residence also boasts a charming formal dining space located directly in the center of the house. Elsewhere, there are five full bathrooms as well as two half-bass and seven-bedroom. The most noteworthy of all is, of course, the primary suite, which, in addition to a sitting area, also features a private balcony from which to enjoy the Kansas City scenery. Other exclusive amenities are said to include a wet bar, kitchenette on the second level, a recreation room, gym, and a wine storage space with built-in bar. Of course, if you'd rather spend your time outside, there's options for that too. Not only does Travis' deck sport breathtaking views of the surrounding treetops, it also makes for the perfect alfresco dining area. There's even a large swimming pool out back accompanied by a gazebo and all of those trees while they ensure Travis has as much privacy as he could want, but clearly not enough to protect him from those swifties. As gorgeous as this home is, it's not the only place Travis owns in the area, so we're gonna have to take a look at his second apartment, downtown. According to the New York Post, Travis Kelsey will sometimes choose to shack up in a luxury condo in downtown Kansas City, rather than head back to the suburbs. Now, he's owned apartments in the city before, but this is the most recent one here. Built in 2015 and located at one light luxury in the Power and Light District, this building features 25 stories of living space. Situated in the heart of Kansas City, the major selling point about this address is its location. It's prime for visiting local restaurants, shops, concerts, and clubs. In fact, the building even provides direct access to the local grocery store. Photos of Travis's actual apartment interior aren't widely available, but the condo has provided model images that just show you how nice it is. For instance, the main living suites provide floor-to-ceiling windows along the entire outside wall to give amazing views of the downtown skyline. Other features include cement ceilings, hardwood floors, and white walls, which provide the perfect canvas to allow a renter to add their own personal touch. As for the kitchen, well it might be tiny, but it does provide all the necessary space and tools for a bachelor like Travis used to be to get by. So I don't know if it'll suffice now that he's a taken man, but it does have a small kitchen island where he can enjoy the occasional meal, and elsewhere you'll find a dining area surrounded by warm wood columns and a series of wine racks built into the walls. If that's not decadent enough for you, Travis's unit also includes access to a fireside lounge that functions as a home theater, and he can hide upstairs to their rooftop to partake in the panoramic views of the city or to a dip in the amazing pool. After looking at Travis Kelsey's new love nest, or where we assume he'll be spending plenty of time with Taylor Swift, what did you think? Do you agree that his new Kansas City mansion is a huge upgrade? But before we go, answer this question for me.
