Are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce really engaged?
The reports of an engagement surfaced as former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman claimed he’s heard plenty about it.
This all started when Pro Football Hall of Famer turned Monday Night Football analyst Troy Aikman accidentally referred to Swift as “the Mrs.” when ESPN’s broadcast of the Chiefs game against the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football.
Then, on an episode of the Pardon My Take podcast, Aikman was heard saying he had been told Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce “might” be heading to the altar.
“Someone actually reached out to me today and said they might actually be engaged,” Aikman said on the show.
“So I might have broke the story.”
However, the claim of the high-profile engagement has been shot down by a confirmation from TMZ.
“It’s not true, and the recent erratic and unfounded speculation on this couple is just proving that media and overzealous fans do not know what’s going on with them and shouldn’t make wild assumptions based on zero facts,” the source said. “Two days ago everyone had decided they were broken up, now they’re allegedly secretly engaged? It’s whiplash-inducing.”
For Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, they have some time to spend together since the Chiefs are now on their bye week.
The tight end revealed that he has plans for the break but refused to reveal them on his podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.
His brother Jason asked if he is “going to tell anybody” about “the plans,” to which Travis replied, “No, but if any of it comes out I’m sure we’ll talk about it on the show.”

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.
Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.
“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.
“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.
That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.
The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
