Travis Kelce Responds to Questions About Proposing to Taylor Swift

Kelce had playful responses for journalists eager to know if he was ready to take the next step in his relationship with Swift. One reporter directly asked Kelce, “Are the rumors true? Are you proposing to Taylor at the half? At halftime,” to which the footballer answered, “Wouldn't you like to know.”

He was later asked twice in a row whether he planned to give Swift a ring. Amused by the repeated questioning, he told reporters, “Man, back to back, you guys are crazy.”

Travis Kelce never gave a direct response to the proposal question, a move that has stirred chatter from fans. “He's not interested in marrying her or else he would've proposed by now,” one person claimed bluntly. A user who believed marriage simply wasn't in the cards, stated, “That's a big no.”

Another fan added, “She's not gonna marry him. He knows it, that's why he shifts away from it.” Some questioned whether a proposal at the big game was even desirable. “No girl would want that,” one person commented.

Meanwhile, a fan who hoped an engagement was on the horizon wrote enthusiastically, “Well it would be about time….this relationship needs a stamp! Hope it’s soon.” However, not everyone felt the urgency to put a ring on it, as one fan pointed out, “Leave them alone…no rush… they seem happy just the way they are.”

Some were more concerned about timing, with one person writing, “Hopefully not during the Superbowl. That should be private.” Finally, a few sided with Kelce for avoiding the topic, as a fan remarked, “Dude that is private information I don't blame him for dodging the questions.”

Kelce was more forthcoming about other questions concerning his relationship with Swift. When asked about the upcoming game, he acknowledged the challenge of being apart from his girlfriend during the playoff season.

Kelce admitted that, although he wasn't there to support her during that time, he believed the time apart played a role in their success. The 35-year-old also reflected on how both of them value the tangible aspects of their relationship and expressed that the connection they share is undeniable.

Kelce also discussed his desire to keep up with Taylor Swift's work ethic. He joked, “I better hold up my end of the bargain, right?” adding, “I mean, if she's out here being the superstar she is, never taking no for an answer, and always working her tail off, I better match that energy for sure.”

On a lighter note, Kelce shared his favorite dish that Swift makes when asked what meal of hers would fill him up for the big game. He said, “She is quite the cook. I would say, man, I'm a breakfast guy, man. Her pop-tarts are unbelievable, man. Her homemade pop-tarts are unbelievable.”

Kelce and Swift have been sparking online conversations with the way they consistently show up for each other at events and in their personal life. On December 18, 2024, Kelce reportedly threw a surprise party for Swift, which prompted speculative comments from netizens who noticed something about one of her fingers.

The couple danced the night away at the Eras-themed surprise party, which reportedly marked the end of the musical star's incredibly successful and record-breaking $2 billion Eras Tour.

Their party was a spectacle of glitz and style, with Swift commanding attention in a black Balmain halterneck minidress priced at approximately $3,991.07 (£3,190). The intricately designed piece featured metallic threading and a sweetheart neckline, exuding elegance and sophistication.

Silver sequins and crystals traced a line down the center, and the dress's flared skirt and stretch-knit fabric added a playful yet refined touch. Swift paired her ensemble with long diamond earrings, delicate diamond rings, and a pink beaded friendship bracelet — a signature accessory from her Eras Tour.

Her iconic red lipstick, cat-eye makeup, and chic ponytail completed the look. The event's dress code embraced the spirit of the Eras Tour, with guests showcasing outfits inspired by the “Bad Blood” singer's musical journey.

Kelce wore a version of the iconic “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” costume he debuted onstage during Swift's London Eras Tour show in June 2024. The sleek black suit with tails evoked a timeless elegance, punctuated by details that tied perfectly into the evening's celebratory theme.

Swift's gal pal Brittany Mahomes, glowing in her pregnancy, donned a silver fringe minidress paired with bedazzled cowboy boots, a clear nod to Swift's “Fearless” era. Meanwhile, her footballer husband Patrick Mahomes mirrored Kelce's ensemble.

In a playful homage to the “Reputation” album, Ashley Avignone accessorized her look with a replica reptile draped around her neck, while Lyndsay Bell embraced the “Lover” era with a pink outfit.

Kelce's doting mom Donna Kelce joined in on the fun, too. She dazzled in a sparkly maroon top and pants as she set the dancefloor ablaze alongside fellow revelers.

The venue itself reflected the evening's theme, with details such as a large illuminated “ERA” sign, friendship bracelets, and lit-up accessories scattered across tables. Additionally, guests indulged in a curated themed drink menu.

Photos also showed Kelce with a microphone in his hand, making a heartfelt speech, which added a personal touch to an evening that celebrated Swift's monumental success.

Fans were quick to dissect the snapshots from Swift's surprise party, sparking a frenzy of speculation online. Many zeroed in on one particular detail — her ring finger.

“she straight up has her ring finger blurred who else is calling a Travis Taylor secret engagement [sic]??” penned someone on X, who shared close-up photos of the star holding her drink.

Another added, “Is it me or does it seem like Taylor is going out of her way to not show her ring finger on right [sic] hand?”

Theories about a possible engagement continued to gain momentum, with yet another observer commenting, “pretty sure Taylor Swift is engaged 💍 so happy for her travis seems to really adore her & respect her career the queen of romance songs deserves a happily ever after [sic] 🥰.”

“OK, but does anyone else feel like Taylor's ring finger was edited in every photo that's come out from this party 🤨👀,” wondered a netizen, while a spectator confidently declared, “oh so Taylor is ENGAGED engaged huh [sic].”

Someone else questioned, “Is that a ring on THAT finger??? Is she showing us something???” “Why does Tay's ring finger look blurred?? 😳 🤔,” pondered one user. Another echoed, “Is it me or is Taylor Swift ring finger blurred. [sic] Zoom in the photo it's blurred. She's engaged 💍🤍?!?”

Others celebrated the relationship between the pop star and the football player with heartfelt remarks. “no man has ever loved taylor swift the way travis kelce loves taylor swift [sic],” asserted one admirer, while another implored, “Put a ring on that woman's hand, Travis! 💍.”

Responding to the comment, an Instagrammer replied, “I think it's already there – zoom in on the right finger. It's been blurred.”

With a loving boyfriend who threw her a party and an incredibly successful career, Swift must be on cloud nine, especially after her triumphant Eras Tour, which featured a series of record-breaking shows.

During her final “Lover” speech of the tour, Swift reflected on the monumental journey. “We have toured the entire world … we have had so many adventures. It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I've ever done in my entire life,” she shared, as captured in a fan video posted on X.

The numbers behind the Eras Tour underline its historic significance. According to The New York Times, the tour sold a staggering $2,077,618,725 in tickets — a feat that represents double the gross ticket sales of any other concert tour in history.

Swift's production company, Taylor Swift Touring, also reported that over 10 million fans attended the shows, with the final tally reaching 10,168,008 concertgoers.

As Swift, who recently turned 35, takes a well-deserved break and fans continue to speculate about her future with Kelce, one thing is certain: The pop icon is concluding 2024 on a high note, both personally and professionally.
