Travis Kelce has not been subtle about his clear admiration for girlfriend and international pop sensation Taylor Swift.

From publicly declaring his affection for the singer to attending multiple tour dates overseas, the tight end isn't shy when it comes to supporting the singer. 

It's no surprise, then, that Kelce spent an exorbitant amount of money on a gift to mark the end of the European leg of Swift's Eras Tour. And, unfortunately for boyfriends everywhere, he has set the bar impossibly high. 

Here's everything to know about Kelce's latest declaration of love to his beau, including why he sent an absurd number of roses to the singer.

Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift gift, explained

As first reported by the U.S. Sun, Kelce ordered 51 boxes of red roses for Swift upon the final show of the Eras Tour's European leg in London on Aug. 17. Of course, the number of boxes isn't random — the tight end has seemingly become attuned to his girlfriend's use of subtle hints and easter eggs.

Swift's European voyage only had 48 shows in the end — however, without the cancellation of three shows in Vienna due to a foiled terrorist plot, the artist would have played 51.

Allegedly, Kelce left a note on the gift commending his girlfriend for the success of her tour so far: "Making history, congratulations, legend. Enjoy tonight as if it was the first concert ever. It will be another unbelievable show!"

The singer is in for some downtime with a three-month break before her final set of shows begins in Toronto on Nov. 14. In that time, Swift "plans to head straight to Kansas City to be with Travis" and hopes to attend "four or five games," according to the Sun.

How much did Travis Kelce's gift to Taylor Swift cost?

Purchased from Million Roses, Kelce bought 51 batches of preserved red rose arrangements. Each hand-crafted black box comes with 60 to 70 roses that can last up to three years — that's between 3,060 and 3,570 total flowers. 

The Million Roses Deluxe arrangements run for $616 apiece, meaning Kelce spent a hefty sum of $31,416 on the gift. 

This isn't the first time the tight end has spent a pretty penny on Swift recently. After her dates in Vienna were slashed, Kelce reportedly sent nearly $6,000 worth of treats to comfort the singer who has since spoken out about the events in Austria
