He can still be the guy on the Chiefs.
“Swift and Kelce may wish to include terms fostering confidentiality and privacy,” Leutto, who does not represent either party, told us. “This may include non-disparagement or non-disclosure terms related to their relationship.”
However, Luetto explained that there are “some exceptions” to the enforceability of those provisions under the law.
“In Taylor’s case, she would likely not want to include provisions limiting her from singing about her relationship in songs, particularly since there is always so much speculation about the subjects of her songwriting,” Luetto said.
Swift is known for singing about her exes and partners in her music, including several songs about Kelce in 2025’s “The Life of a Showgirl,” and some biting lyrics about exes Joe Alwyn and Matt Healy on 2024’s “The Tortured Poet’s Society.”
Similarly, the legal eagle shared that celebrities often want to limit and clarify what constitutes as community/marital property to “avoid future claims to their creative work.”
“Particularly when it comes to sequels and prior projects,” she said. “For example, if Taylor had re-recorded one of her albums during marriage, there would be an argument that the re-record was partially a marital asset.”
An NDA included in the prenup could also prevent the singer and Kansas City Chiefs star from divulging the terms of their agreement to anyone else, aside from their respective legal representatives and accountants involved in the execution of the prenup or potential dissolution proceedings.
“Similarly, they may include terms requiring mediation or, in states where permitted, the use of a private judge for any dissolution proceedings,” Luetto said, adding, “For a high-profile couple like Swift and Kelce, privacy provisions of this nature would be particularly valuable in shielding the details of any potential dispute from public scrutiny.”
With the billionaire Grammy-winner having a much higher net worth than millionaire Kelce, Swift may also be responsible footing his bill.
“When one party is worth significantly more than the other, prenuptial agreements frequently provide that the wealthier party will pay all of the couple’s living expenses while the less wealthy party preserves their separate estate,” Luetto said.
Some agreements are also structured for the wealtheir preson to gift or transmute a portion of their estate to the community or to the other party’s separate property.
This would allow “each party to maintain investments and assets during the marriage,” Luetto said, noting, “The amounts transmuted or gifted often increase over time, reflecting the duration of the marriage.”
In this A-list couple’s case, Luetto said its likely they would not combine their estates when they tie the knot.
“Given the complexities of their respective estates — and the lengths Swift has gone to in order to buy back her masters and protect her music catalog — it is likely that any prenuptial agreement would keep their respective estates entirely separate, regardless of any efforts made by either party to enhance the other’s estate during the marriage,” Luetto said
However, they could include terms allowing them to enter into joint ventures during their marriage.
“They would simply need to clarify their ownership interests in any jointly held assets on a case-by-case basis,” Luetto explained.
Because they each own multiple properties in different states, the duo can also include clauses that state which jurisdiction’s laws will be interpreted and enforced if there is a dispute in the future, which are called “choice-of-law provisions.”
Swift has homes in New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Los Angleles while Kelce has properties in Leawood, Kansas, Missouri and Florida.
