I agree that Kelce doesn't (yet) have the athletic track record or broad cultural status that Joe DiMaggio had. Maybe if Tom Brady were the man of the hour, it might be closer.
But I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Taylor Swift is bigger than Marilyn Monroe.
Swift's fan base is demographically broader (not sure how many female fans Marilyn Monroe had, but I suspect her admirers trended heavily male), and her musical talents will resonate far longer than those of Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe basically had a 12-year career before she died. Taylor Swift has already had a 15-year career, and I'm not sure she's even hit her peak.
