For months, the romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has captivated fans worldwide, sparking constant engagement rumors and intense public interest. Though the two have been together for nearly a year, fans are eager to know if Kelce plans to propose—and many insiders and sources seem ready to offer clues.
December 2023: Seeking Permission?
In December, reports emerged from Page Six suggesting that Kelce might have taken a traditional approach by asking Taylor’s father, Scott Swift, for his blessing to propose. According to a source close to Kelce, Scott reportedly gave his wholehearted approval, and Kelce has been seen discussing plans for a ring with friends.
January 2024: One-Year Anniversary Proposal?
Rumors reignited in January, with sources speculating that the pair may be eyeing a summer engagement. An insider noted that Kelce didn’t want to make the engagement seem rushed by proposing on Valentine’s Day. Instead, according to the source, Swift and Kelce agreed to aim for a proposal on their upcoming one-year anniversary in July. “They’re planning it together,” the source shared, hinting at an anniversary engagement as a thoughtful approach to a significant milestone.
May 2024: Friends Anticipate an Engagement
As spring turned to summer, sources close to the couple hinted that a proposal was on the horizon. On May 17, Entertainment Tonight quoted an insider who reported that Swift and Kelce’s relationship was flourishing. “Their loved ones can see an engagement coming sooner rather than later,” they said, underscoring the strong connection between the two.
However, later in May, Us Weekly offered a different take. A source disclosed that Kelce was in no rush to pop the question, emphasizing that he takes the idea of marriage very seriously and wanted to carefully consider the decision. “Marriage is not something he’d jump into impulsively,” the source clarified.
August 2024: Mixed Messages from Friends and Associates
With fall around the corner, the engagement chatter continued. In August, Page Six revisited the rumors with a new insider claim, stating that an engagement seemed imminent. But the same report mentioned Kelce’s representative denying any formal plans. Intriguingly, a rumor surfaced that the wife of a prominent Kansas City Chiefs executive had told her friends in a suite that Swift and Kelce were already engaged, fueling even more speculation.
September 2024: The Future with Marriage and Family
By September, sources indicated that both Swift and Kelce were aligned on their long-term goals, including marriage and starting a family. Us Weekly spoke to a source who confirmed that both see marriage as a near-future priority, with Swift especially enthusiastic about the idea of settling down with Kelce. According to the source, Swift “has always been excited by the idea of marriage and starting a family,” but it took meeting Kelce to truly envision it.
As of now, fans can only wait and watch to see if and when the couple takes the next step. While the rumors continue to swirl, it’s clear that both Swift and Kelce are committed to each other—and that might be all that matters for now.
