Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift plan to get engaged in the summer after holding off over the holiday season out of fear it would seem like ‘rushed insanity’, according to reports.
Rumors of Kelce popping the question to Swift first began to circulate at the start of last month, with many speculating as to whether the Kansas City Chiefs star would propose on his girlfriend’s 34th birthday – which came on December 13. When that failed to materialize, The Messenger reported that Travis will not be getting down on one knee anytime soon despite fans clamoring for him to make things official with the pop sensation.
However, it may not be such a cruel summer for those fans after all. According to Page Six, there is a feeling in Swift’s inner circle that she and Kelce are planning to get engaged this summer. It is believed the loved-up couple, who have dominated headlines since going public with their romance back in September, held off on Travis proposing through the holidays because ‘they don’t want it to seem like it’s rushed insanity.’
They are expected to apply the same logic on Valentine’s Day, despite talk of the NFL tight end marking their first celebration together with an engagement ring. An insider is quoted as saying: ‘Taylor and Travis discussed it and there is a plan.’ There is said to be a buzz that the pair will get engaged on their one-year anniversary in July, having first met a few months before Swift attended her first Chiefs game in September.
The singer and songwriter revealed in an interview with Time that they began hanging out after Kelce admitted trying and failing to give her his phone number on his New Heights podcast in July. ‘We started hanging out right after that,’ she said. ‘So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. ‘I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game. We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.’
Kelce and Swift spent the holidays together and were seen sharing a kiss at a glitzy New Year’s Eve party after the latter watched her boyfriend and the Chiefs beat the Cincinnati Bengals 25-17. The following day Travis was seen driving Taylor to one of his other properties in Kansas City as they recovered from the party on New Year’s Day. The football star is also feeling the pressure ahead of Valentine’s Day, after briefly mentioning the pressure that comes with trying to find the right gift for his girlfriend while carrying out an advertisement for E-commerce company Etsy on his latest New Heights episode. ‘Whether you’re feeling the Valentine’s Day pressure like [brother] Jason and I,’ Kelce admitted, ‘or trying to figure out the right gift for a significant other, Etsy is the go-to destination for adding that special touch.’
