But how did he get his own dating show in the first place? Well, despite a five-year, $46 million contract extension with the Chiefs\u2014which the show frequently references as a sign of Kelce\u2019s relevance\u2014Kelce says that in those days he was strapped for cash.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u201cI turned down the show about 100 times\u2026it felt like,\u201d he said on the podcast The Pivot this year. \u201cI was having so much fun buying whatever the hell I wanted to, going wherever the hell I wanted to. I wasn\u2019t financially looking at this as, you know, I need to have money down the line. There were times in the offseason, I was avoiding the rent lady. It was that bad.\u201d So finally he gave in: \u201cI heard about this situation where I could make six figures in two weeks, and I was like, Uhhh. And 50 ladies? I\u2019m like, This is actually starting to sound a little better.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VanityFair\/status\/1715346428757745774\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">src<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>If there was a &#8220;Catching Taylor Swift&#8221; reality show, who do you think would be a contestant? <\/i><br type=\"_moz\"\/> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com\/127088988.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before romancing Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce was the star of \u2018Catching Kelce,\u2019 a 2016 dating show in which 50 women competed for his heart.
