Taylor Swift's celebrity status has long been a massive thing, but it has gotten to a point where she's crossed over into the sports trading card space.

In an auction that took place recently, it was shared that the rookie card of the pop artist Swift - long famous for the break-up-song and now for her Travis Kelce romance - had a $6,000 price tag when bought.

The Grammy award winning singer's "rookie" card shows Kanye West interrupting her 2009 VMA speech ... an odd moment to launch her incredible career. 

The "2011 Topps American Pie Taylor Swift/Kanye West Spotlight Foil PSA 9" auction receved notice from Will Stern, who wrote: "Swift's de facto rookie card is already shockingly rare. PSA has graded less than 200 of the base versions and just 20 have received PSA 10 designations. ... This sale represents the highest price paid for the card, in any grade or variation, ever.''

The writer said the card is destined to be "iconic.'' ... which would put the Kansas City Chiefs fan's card up there with some of the other memorabilia sold, which included both autographed editions of the 1994 Upper Deck baseball cards, one featuring Mickey Mantle, and the other featuring Ken Griffey Jr, which separately were bought for $7,800 and $8,100.
