Travis Kelce gets a 'dopamine hit' from $1m car collection – but it could mean trouble for Taylor Swift, says expert | The Sun

TRAVIS Kelce has bagged a world-famous pop star and has been looking giddy with love showing off his relationship with Taylor Swift.

But a psychologist has warned while the romance looks promising, given the NFL star's car hobby, any "lavish thrills" he has for the singer may wear off.

Travis, 34, has a nearly $1 million car collection including a Rolls Royce, a GMC SUV Truck, an Aston Martin, a Range Rover, a Chevelle, and a Mercedes Benz.

Since the football star began wooing Taylor, 33, he has already taken her out for the odd spin.

In September, the NFL star and the Shake It Off singer left Arrowhead Stadium in his Chevelle 408 Stroker after a Kansas City Chiefs win.

And on Monday, the couple headed out for dinner in Kansas City in the football player's Rolls Royce.

Psychologist Jo Hemmings said owning cars as Travis does offers a "reward hit" away from the field.

Travis mentioned the collection during his podcast, New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.

Speaking of having one at a fundraiser, he said: "I won't bring all of them.

"But I'll have the old school and then one or two of the more modern cars that I've got."

In an exclusive interview, Hemmings told The U.S. Sun: “Travis is used to huge success on the field and beating his rivals.

“Having such an extensive car collection will give Travis the same dopamine and reward hit that he gets on the field.

“But he can not predict the next dopamine hit in football.

"His cars are a much more predictable and stable reminder of how good that makes him feel."

Hemmings warned Taylor could eventually find Travis's hobby "ridiculous."

“If a partner like Taylor does not get this, or share the collecting passion, it might seem bewildering and ridiculous for her," she said.

“The problem is that each new car provides him another more lavish and exhilarating thrill.

"Let us hope Travis also does not feel the same way about his girlfriend.

"These thrill feelings can eventually wear off."

Taylor and Travis are no strangers to lavish lifestyles.

The couple have been spotted out dining at expensive venues in New York and getting out of pricy SUVs.

Taylor has been photographed hopping onto her private jet.

On October 13, the Grammy Award winner stayed over at one of Travis' sprawling homes.

Hemmings suggested the pair seemed like a decent match.

“In essence, I think they are pretty similar people," she said.

"Travis enjoys showing off his car collection, and Taylor appears to be enjoying being shown off in them.

“For some men at the top of their professional game, like Travis, cars are a means of expressing their identity and personality.  

"Even showing off his new girl as he is doing and she is accepting all this.

“The type of car they drive or collect can reflect their taste, values, and status.

“It is very likely to be a material expression of what he has achieved and he likes the admiration.

"Travis might even like being the envy of others."

Hemmings noted that her boyfriend's hobby could mean pressure over time.

“Travis would need to take care," she said. “A car collection can take up a lot of time, attention, and commitment.

“That can also put a strain on a relationship.

“Over time, Taylor might feel like she is being neglected in some way due to Travis’s passion for cars.

"Then she better deal with it — gently but firmly.

“They can work towards a more healthy balance in their relationship.

“I imagine that Travis has plenty of staff to take care of his cars.

"He is unlikely to be spending precious time valeting them or tinkering under the hood.

"But he would be looking at them, driving them, and feeling pride in owning them.

“Taylor might also love the care and consideration that Travis takes when deciding which car to take her out in.

“She may even end up enjoying seeing him happy the same thrill of owning a collection of expensive cars."

Hemmings added: “For this new couple, there does seem to be a lot of the, ‘if you’ve got it, you might as well flaunt it’ approach.

“They are openly celebrating their successes professionally and personally— and also ostentatiously.
