No Swiftie wants Taylor Swift to die at the altar waiting for someone to give her a token of their devotion that’s more substantial than a paper ring, so there’s a big market for rumors about Taylor getting engaged. When Travis Kelce entered the picture, he was about to become the proud owner of a third significant ring, so the Super Bowl champ was perfectly cast in the role of the guy who would finally get down on one knee.
In December 2023, a source told Life & Style that Kelce’s proposal could happen that month at Taylor’s birthday bash. “That’s what everyone, including Taylor, is hoping for,” the insider said. While the singer didn’t start wearing any special new bling on her hand after she celebrated turning 34, fans got some additional engagement gossip before the month’s end. According to Page Six, Kelce had made the old-fashioned move of requesting a proposal blessing from Taylor’s dad, Scott Swift.
In January 2024, the Daily Mail jumped in with its own exclusive reporting about Kelce’s purported plan to pop the question. The outlet claimed that he was mulling over the idea of presenting Swift with some bejeweled bling that was deeply meaningful to him. A source shared, “He has thought of having a lyric or a quote engraved on the band … and he has also floated using some of the diamonds from his Super Bowl rings.”
