Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been together for nearly two years now. That’s long enough for someone (the internet, basically) to start asking when Travis is going to pull out a ring and pop the question. Are they engaged?

Are they secretly engaged? Or is this just a romance in the slow-burn stage?

Well, no one really knows—except, apparently, everyone in their inner circles. And hey, if you're like us and thriving on gossip and good distractions, here’s a roundup of everything that’s been said (and not said) about a potential Kelce-Swift engagement. Enjoy!

Plans for an Engagement? What Plans?

In February 2024, a source told Us Weekly that Travis and Taylor are totally on the same page about taking the next step. But here’s the thing: they’re currently living their best “private life,” and loving every moment of it. The insider shared that after Taylor wrapped up her Eras Tour and Travis ended his NFL season (let’s be real, we’re still not over the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss), they just wanted to enjoy their time together, free from the chaos.

“Just doing nothing at all has been a dream for them,” the source said. Sounds like the dream, honestly.

And as for Travis, well, after last year’s hectic schedule, he’s ready to take things a bit slower. According to an insider, Travis really wants a great 2025/2026 NFL season and not have his relationship with Taylor steal the headlines. After all, learning the hard way that too much attention isn’t always a good thing, he’s more focused on his game than a wedding game for now.

The Ring Countdown: Ready or Not?

Things get a little more interesting when we peek into what’s happening behind the scenes. According to Life & Style in April 2024, Travis is apparently very eager to speed things up. So much so that he’s reportedly told Taylor he’s totally down for kids before a wedding.

Talk about not wasting time! Apparently, Travis’s “fatherly instincts” go into overdrive when he’s hanging out with his nieces, and his inner circle has been going on and on about how he’d be a fantastic dad. That’s sweet... but will there be a wedding first? We’re waiting for that update.

The Proposal Gossip Timeline: From Hinting to Denials

December 2023- Page Six reported that Travis had asked Taylor’s dad, Scott Swift, for his blessing to propose. So... how’d that go? Well, according to their source, Scott said yes (he’s apparently all in on the idea), and Travis had already been chatting with his buddies about rings.

January 2024 – Rumor Mills went wild with word from Page Six that Taylor’s camp was buzzing about an engagement planned for summer. Apparently, Travis just didn’t want to rush things and opted out of proposing on Valentine’s Day (because that would be too predictable). Instead, the couple allegedly planned to get engaged on their one-year anniversary in July. Sure, sure... we’re watching.

May 2024 – The sources from Entertainment Tonight were singing a different tune, saying things were looking amazing between Taylor and Travis, and that an engagement “could happen sooner than later.” Ah, the classic “someday soon” engagement tease.

May 2024 (Again) – But just days later, Us Weekly dropped a bombshell: Travis has no plans for a proposal anytime soon. Apparently, marriage is something he takes very seriously and would never rush into. Well, that certainly cleared up the confusion! Or did it?

August 2024 – Page Six couldn’t resist another engagement update, saying it was “happening soon.” But of course, Travis’s reps quickly denied there were any official plans. Gotta love the back-and-forth!

September 2024 – Us Weekly reported that Taylor and Travis definitely see marriage in their future, and both want kids. A source added, “Taylor has always been excited about marriage... she just hadn’t found The One until now.”

October 2024 – The buzz escalated with reports that “a countdown” had begun for the engagement. No pressure, guys.

December 2024 – Fast forward, and Us Weekly is back with two sources: one said that they’d “love to be engaged,” but aren’t rushing it, while another pointed out that Taylor “wants it to be forever.” Apparently, the proposal won’t be a flash-in-the-pan moment. Wise choice.

Mom’s Thoughts & Super Bowl Press Conference Drama

It wouldn’t be a celebrity relationship without a mom moment, right? Travis’s mom, Donna Kelce, was asked by CNN about the possible engagement, and like every good mom, she kept it chill:

“It’s totally up to them, as long as they’re happy,” she said. “We don’t know anything for right now. I’m sure he’d call me and tell me if something big happens, but I haven’t heard anything yet.”

Translation: No insider info from Mom... yet.

But don’t forget Travis’s Chiefs teammate Harrison Butker, who didn’t hold back when asked about the couple’s future. He straight-up said, “I hope they get married and start a family.” He’s probably already practising his best-man speech.

The Press Conference Heard ‘Round the World

And who could forget the iconic moment during a Super Bowl press conference when a reporter tried to stir the pot with a big, bold question:

“If you win the Super Bowl, will there be another ring? You know... besides the Super Bowl one?”

Travis, ever the pro, didn’t flinch. With a smile and a perfectly timed pause, he responded: “I’m focused on getting this ring, and that’s all that my mind’s focused on right now.”

Cue the collective sigh from fans who just want some clarity, please. But, honestly, is that so hard to respect? Let’s let the man focus on winning first.
