The news of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement rocked the entire world last week. Fans have been rooting for this love story from the very start. Now that the couple is engaged to be married, there’s one question on everyone’s mind. That question being, is a prenuptial agreement going to be signed?
Swift is one of the biggest pop stars in the world and has built up a massive empire for herself. According to Forbes, the “August” singer has a whopping estimated $1.6 billion valuation. Kelce, on the other hand, might not have billions to his name, but he’s no slouch either. The Kansas City Chiefs’ star player’s financial assets and investments have been growing a lot more recently.
Divorce lawyers have now weighed in on the matter of Swift and Kelce’s pairing and what a prenup between them could look like. One celebrity divorce lawyer, Chris Melcher, has called a premarital agreement an essential need before the marriage proceeds, especially for Swift.
“A premarital agreement will be essential to protect the intellectual property that Taylor creates during the marriage.”
Legal Experts Say A Prenup Would Be Critical For Swift And Kelce
Prenups are a tricky thing to discuss with your partner at times. But many experts are suggesting that it is the best course for one of the biggest pop stars and NFL players today. Taylor Swift has built up a reputation of being a bit of a mogul herself.
The “Love Story” singer has many revenue streams generating massive income. Whether you look at her several blockbuster tours, insane streaming numbers from singles and albums, and lucrative brand deals, it’s no wonder she’s a billionaire. Kelce has been racking up the figures himself with a huge $100 million New Heights podcast deal with his brother, Jason Kelce, and a slew of other brand partnerships.
It’s only natural to think about whether these famous superstars are going to protect their financial structure for the future. Legal experts have warned these two lovebirds about avoiding a prenup as well, since any creative work could count as joint property. This means that any new album from Swift, in the unlikely event of a divorce, would mean splitting royalties and ownership of her creative work.
Chris Melcher has described having to split intellectual property with former spouses as a nightmare scenario for other artists. So, perhaps both Kelce and Swift would be wise to heed the advice and discuss a premarital agreement.
How A Marriage Brings Money And Spotlight Into The Mix
All of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s fans are in great support of their engagement. The couple seems to be quite happy with each other as well. Swift seems to have gained more confidence as well since getting into a relationship with Kelce. The 14-time Grammy-winning artist has started turning heads with her looks for her upcoming album, Life of a Showgirl.
However, now that things are getting serious between them, it’s time to sit down and make the difficult decisions. Considering they’re both in the limelight, no one wants a messy situation if something unlikely were to happen after their marriage. However, we hope for nothing but the best for this couple.
