Kansas City Playlist: Travis Kelce's Dumpy Mansion Reconsidered

Tonight we briefly consider the fate & fortunes of our betters as the NFL's best publicity stunt reaches its illogical conclusion.

Our contention . . .

FROM TAYLOR SWIFT'S PERSPECTIVE . . . TRAVIS KELCE'S NEW DIGS MIGHT BE NOTHING MORE THAN ANOTHER GLORIFIED FLYOVER COUNTRY BARN!!!

Given recent global inflation . . . $6.9 MILLION doesn't buy as much as it did when the baller started his playing days.

In fact, that's a pretty big chuck on Kelce's $57.25 MILLION contract when we talk about taxes and the small army it would require to maintain the palace. 

Now let's look at even greener grass . . .

"Swift has been shaking off doubters ever since, amassing eight diverse pads, ranging from a $150 million penthouse in Manhattan’s TriBeCa neighborhood to an 11,000-square-foot historical landmark in California. "

Take a closer look if only because this link will remind readers to take a longer lunch break and ignore demands to work harder for less pay . . .

Don't worry . . . It gets worse . . . 

The reality is that Kelce's paltry pad is a slum as far at Taylor Swift is concerned and even if a nice visit with Paddy & Brit is just a car ride away . . . The Kansas City metro isn't exactly packed with excitement for the international jet set. 

And this leads us to a tragic conclusion . . .

In the grand scheme of things, in terms of net worth and so much more . . . We can't help but ask:

Is Taylor Swift "slumming" by dating Travis Kelce?!? 

Again . . .

This line of questioning might sting more if the whole thing wasn't just another corporate deception inflicted on the American public . . . Very much most presidential elections and the government surveillance device masquerading as your phone. 

On the other hand . . . Maybe "romance" isn't dead . . . Just fleeting. And this brief affair will give Kelce EPIC stories to share into his old age when he finally settles down with some TV news hottie "meteorologist" who will be impressed with budget tens of millions and a brief glimpse into the lives of people who REALLY run the planet.

And all of this inspires our www.TonysKansasCity.com playlist tonight on the topic of love & money. 

An all-time classic from the O'Jays sets the mood and provides a soundtrack whilst the plebs count other people's cash . . .

Another old school song reminds us that class conflict and dating life isn't anything new . . .

Forgive our sins . . . But this Brit new wave cover from 1979 is more weird and wonderful than most songs that Swifties celebrate . . .

A 90s throwback just for giggles given that this chart topper doesn't really hold up over time . . .

Let's finish on an upbeat note tonight . . . This Aussie classic defined pop culture conceptions of love & cash for a generation and gives us a peek into the psyche of most millennials in the West.

And so, given that this was a garbage week for blogging but not so bad for site traffic . . . We want to thank loyal readers for sticking with us and hope that everybody has a safe & fun Saturday night.
