Are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Engaged? Why We Think So

If you’re a Swiftie, a fan of the NFL, or just a human being, odds are you’ve heard all about the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce courtship over the last year and a half. Well, now there are rumors that things are heating up for Tayvis. Speculation began this week over an alleged engagement for the two, with photos from her Eras Tour themed birthday party looking somewhat…suspicious!

The Rumors

One eagle-eyed fan posted a photo to her own Instagram stories claiming it looked like Taylor’s ring finger (on that hand!) had been blurred.

When asked why Taylor wouldn’t just take off her ring for the party, the poster replied, “Because wearing an engagement ring after getting engaged at a party celebrating you sounds like the most perfect night ever!” And honestly, we couldn’t agree more!

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship

It all began back in July 2023 at the height of Taylor’s record-breaking Eras tour. Travis was in the audience for the Kansas City, MO show, and even made a friendship bracelet—a staple for Eras tour concert-goers—that included his phone number, as he shared on the July 26 episode of his podcast New Heights (which he shares with his brother, a fellow NFL star—now retired Philadelphia Eagle, Jason Kelce).

It wasn’t long before the pair were spotted together, with Taylor notably showing up at the Kansas City Chiefs game on September 24, 2023, at Arrowhead Stadium alongside Travis’s mom, Donna Kelce.

From there, the two have seemed inseparable, enjoying cozy dinners, trips to the US Open Finals, and even Travis’s third Super Bowl win in February 2024.

Why We Think Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce ARE Engaged

Aside from the fact that this pair has been nothing but totally loved up for the last 18 months, here are a few reasons why we think Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are indeed engaged!

  1. The Photos: It’s pretty undeniable—photos of that certain ring finger do look blurred!
  2. The Timeline: According to an internal study by The Knot, the average length most couples wait before getting engaged is around 15 months to two years, so these two are right on the money.
  3. The Chemistry: There’s no doubt these two have some serious rapport—some may say it’s So High School (sorry, we had to).

But What Will She Wear?

Now we’re up for a little speculation of our own. Like, what kind of bride will Taylor be? What style dress would she wear? Will her bridal party include bestie Selena Gomez, who also just got engaged?!

The Engagement Party

If you’re holding out for an official engagement party, we could totally see Taylor rocking this LWD to celebrate her (alleged!) engagement to Travis Kelce. She loves a good corset moment, and these pearl-embellished block heels are totally up her alley.

The Bachelorette Bash

Nashville is still one of the reigning bachelorette destinations, but we think it’s a little too close to home for the star—who has lived in Tennessee since she was fourteen. We think she’d choose to celebrate at another incredible destination, totally rocking looks like these!

THE Dress

Now, for the gown itself. We’ve seen Taylor in a number of stunning ball gowns over the years, and she’s been known to sport an Oleg Cassini design as well, so we think it’s the obvious choice for her to wear this billow sleeve wedding dress by Oleg Cassini.

And what’s a bridal look without a veil? This stunning cathedral veil with a sequin scrollwork trim would be a perfect match.

The Reception Look

After witnessing all the costume changes at the three-hour nightly Eras tour shows, Taylor is definitely gonna rock multiple looks on her big day—we can nearly guarantee it! Her reception look will bring a little more fun, flirty vibes than her ceremony gown. This one by Galina Signature is perfect with its removable sleeves and peekaboo lace back.

The Afterparty

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce aren’t the pair for keeping things lowkey—we definitely think they will keep the party going, and we think her after-party look will pull out all the stops! This fit-and-flare mini totally fits her style, and it’s just the right piece for all-night partying.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Vows

Seeing how Taylor has shared her life story with us over the past nearly 20 years, we know she’ll right her own heartfelt, touching vows to Travis when their big day comes. The way these couples managed to fit Taylor Swift herself in their own vows is something out of our Wildest Dreams (get it?)!
