TMZ: Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce have no plans to get engaged this summer

Last week, Page Six ran a story in which sources insisted that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have a secret plan to “get engaged” this summer. Sources claimed that Tay and Trav are already all-in on their relationship but they don’t want people to think that they’re rushing things or getting carried away. It felt bullsh-tty to me, and now TMZ is saying something else entirely. Their sources say Taylor and Travis are far from even considering an engagement. Taylor’s big focus is on the international legs of her Eras Tour, and it sounds like she wants to see how the long-distance thing goes before locking anything down. Which is honestly pretty smart?

People really should pump the brakes on all the engagement talk between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce … ’cause we’re told a proposal isn’t forthcoming in the near future either. Sources close to the couple tell TMZ … there’s absolutely no engagement in the works between Taylor and Travis right now — despite some reports suggesting they’re racing to the altar. To the contrary, we’re being told TK ain’t getting on bended knee anytime soon.

There were rumblings this week people in Taylor’s camp had T-Swift and Trav pegged for an early summer engagement, but we’re being told that’s just not the case. In fact, our sources tell us some folks on the inside of this don’t think it’ll go the distance.

We’re told some members of their inner circles see Taylor and Travis as still being in a honeymoon phase, of sorts — and they say it’s just too early to tell if they’ll ever advance past the dating stage.

Hear that … that’s the sound of Swiftie bubbles bursting, and premature wedding bells going silent.

Our sources also point out their about to enter a very challenging stage of their relationship — Taylor’s continuing her international tour starting in February, which will have her overseas for several months. Of course, once his NFL season is over, Travis could join her at times — but folks in their orbit are saying let’s see how they deal with the really long distance before jumping to engagement talk.

Neither Taylor nor Travis has been engaged before, and it sounds like that won’t change any time soon.

The good thing about a relationship between two thirty-somethings is that they’ve already got their romantic histories and they know what they want and don’t want. They’ve got a good idea of what they’ll put up with and what compromises can be made. But the other side of it is that you do sort of get set in your ways and maybe you’re not willing to make space in your life for a real partner. It’s just something to think about – while this TMZ story has the feel of coming from Team Kelce, I wonder if Taylor also has some mixed feelings about commitment, especially this soon in the relationship.

    While I am thoroughly enjoying watching this relationship from the sidelines, rushing it along to getting married feels premature. She’s about to embark on the biggest tour of her career–twice as long as what she just finished doing this year, going all over the world. It’s a huge logistical project. And they have not been dating THAT long. I could see her or him both wanting folks to calm down about wedding bells.

    I say that and I’d be thrilled if they did get married, whenever that happens. I think he’s really good for her. I had no exposure to him before they got together, but they seem to work well.

    Say what you will about Tay, but this woman controls the narrative. Nothing is happening here that she hasn’t considered from every angle and signed off on. I do think this is headed toward long term because she’s allowed it to be such a public spectacle and encouraged fans to feel invested in it, but who even knows if marriage is her thing. If a big announcement comes this year it’ll be that they’re buying a home together. IMHO.

  3. I think they are both old enough and have had other relationships so they know exactly what they want. They both are busy with their careers and hers involves lots of travel so maybe they want to see how it goes being apart for periods of time. They will figure it out but in the mean time they seem to be having fun and enjoying themselves.

    Every time I see these headlines about them breaking up or getting married, it reminds me of her Lavender Haze lyric – “the only kind of girl they see is a one night or a wife.”
    An astute although not that groundbreaking an observation, but it’s interesting to see that narrative play out in real life. A lot of media really does only have two narratives in their playbook regarding celeb relationships.

  5. Emily says:

    This is very reasonable and probably could have gone without saying. Travis and Taylor getting engaged this summer would be more shocking.

  6. Jais says:

    The stories are weird to me. If they get engaged, whenever that may be, the couple will be the first to know, not TMZ or page 6. This just feels like noise for clicks.

    Travis won’t be a football player forever so he won’t have a crazy game schedule to adhere to forever. He’s 34 (I think?), he has less than a decade of football left in him. That’s not being mean, it’s just the truth about athletes. He could transition to sports broadcaster/commentator but he would not have to travel to every single game necessarily? Taylor on the other hand–she’s like Madonna, she could be touring and performing for decades to come. She’s the one with the traveling career that will most likely endure. I’m sure they’ve talked about this reality if they’re serious and locked in.

    Anyone that believed that gossip in the first place is complete weird. These two hardly know one another. They usually only spend weekends together, and spent 10 days face to face in a row MAXIMUM. They haven’t even had two months of face to face contact. All the people saying they’re in their 30s, they’re going fast, they know what they want are engaging in fantasy. People can go fast at any age. This couple are still getting to know one another. Not sure why people won’t let it be that. Half of this relationship is sustaining the PR part of it, the other half is trying to establish something real. It will probably go down in flames because the weirdos won’t let it be, and because the PR arm is doing too much.

    LOL anyone else cringing at the incorrect “their” in the article?

    It has to suck to be a celebrity and not have the ability to date and have fun. Everything doesn’t have to end in marriage, they could be good friends enjoying each other’s company.

    • Hell Nah! says:

      The wealth would be an amazing perk, but at their level of celebrity and fame, it would certainly suck not to have the freedom and the privacy to get to know each other and see where it lands organically. The constant PR dance must be exhausting for all involved.
