Travis Kelce, the NFL star who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, has finally addressed the rumors surrounding his engagement to pop superstar Taylor Swift. The couple, who went public with their romance in September, has been the subject of speculation ever since. However, Travis has now set the record straight during a press conference ahead of the Super Bowl.
The rumors began when Page Six reported that Travis had asked for Taylor’s father’s permission to propose. An insider revealed, “Scott has been asked for his blessing and has wholeheartedly given it. And Travis has been talking to friends about a ring.” This news sparked excitement among fans, who eagerly awaited an official announcement.
A month later, Page Six published another report, this time quoting an insider who claimed that an engagement was imminent. “Taylor and Travis discussed it and there is a plan,” the source alleged. “They’re planning to get engaged on their one-year anniversary.” This news only fueled the speculation surrounding the couple’s relationship status.
During the press conference, Travis was asked if he had “another ring” on his mind besides the Super Bowl ring he might win on Sunday. Cleverly deflecting the question, he responded, “I’m focused on getting this ring. That’s all my mind is focused on right now.” While he didn’t confirm or deny the engagement rumors, his response hinted that an engagement might still be a little while off.
Despite not addressing the engagement directly, Travis took the opportunity to praise Taylor’s recent success at the Grammys. He called her “unbelievable” and acknowledged her historic achievement of winning Album of the Year four times. “I told her I’d have to hold up my end of the bargain and come home with some hardware, too,” he added. It’s clear that Travis is supportive of Taylor’s career and proud of her accomplishments.
As Taylor continues her Eras Tour in Japan, fans have been wondering if she will be able to make it to Las Vegas in time to support Travis at the Super Bowl. The Japanese Embassy has expressed confidence that Taylor will be able to attend the game despite the 12-hour flight and 17-hour time difference. In a statement, they said, “If she departs Tokyo in the evening after her concert, she should comfortably arrive in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl begins.” This news has brought relief to both Chiefs fans and Taylor’s loyal following, known as the Swifties.
While Travis didn’t confirm or deny the engagement rumors, his words and actions show his unwavering support for Taylor. As they continue to navigate their high-profile relationship, fans eagerly await any updates on their love story. For now, all eyes are on the Super Bowl, where Travis hopes to bring home a different kind of ring.
