Travis Kelce is set to make his third consecutive Super Bowl appearance with the Kansas City Chiefs. But while his focus is locked on the Lombardi Trophy, speculation is growing that the star tight end may have something even bigger planned – a proposal to Taylor Swift.
Swift, who has been Kelce‘s biggest supporter throughout the season, is expected to cheer him on from the stands at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday.
But fans aren’t just waiting to see if the Chiefs win. Many are wondering if Kelce might get down on one knee should his team secure their historic three-peat.
Proposal rumors
The 34-year-old was asked directly during Super Bowl Opening Night on Monday if a proposal was on the horizon, and while he didn’t confirm anything, he didn’t deny it either.

“Wouldn’t you like to know,” Kelce teased, leaving fans guessing.
He also spoke about his and Swift‘s seemingly storybook romance, giving insight into what makes their relationship work.
“I think we both love to manifest things,” Kelce said. “You can’t say it’s not real because we’re here, right?”
Kelce credited Swift‘s dedication to her career as a source of motivation for him, admitting that her work ethic pushes him to be better on the football field.
“I better hold up my end of the bargain,” he joked. “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.”
Despite the buzz surrounding a potential Super Bowl proposal, sources close to the couple have indicated that any engagement would likely be a private affair.
According to insiders who spoke to DailyMail.com, Kelce‘s family playfully pressures him about wedding plans, especially in comparison to his older brother, Jason Kelce, who is already settled down with his wife and children.
“His family jokes with him about a wedding and pits him up against his brother whose wife is already popping out more babies,” the source revealed.
However, both Kelce and Swift seem to be laughing off the speculation, taking the constant engagement rumors in stride.
“Taylor and Travis find it extremely humorous that they have been engaged every day since they got together,” a friend of Swift shared.
