Travis Kelce ‘has no plans on proposing to Taylor Swift anytime soon’

Two weekends ago, Travis Kelce traveled to Paris to see Taylor Swift’s concerts, then they had a four-day minibreak in Como, Italy. They seemed to enjoy their time together, so much so that a source told Entertainment Tonight: “Taylor and Travis are doing amazing, and their loved ones see an engagement coming sooner than later. They make a great match and there’s no question about that.” For months now, there’s been engagement talk and talk about how Taylor knows Travis is The One. Of course, she also just released an album full of songs about Matt Healy, songs which she performs constantly in her concerts. So, a mixed bag of “signals.” As it turns out, maybe all of the engagement talk is coming from Taylor’s side, while Travis’s side is more like “slow your roll, snake fam.”

There are no engagement rings in Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s direct future, multiple sources tell Us Weekly.

“Travis has no plans on proposing to Taylor anytime soon,” one insider exclusively shares. “It’s not even on his radar. Marriage is something he takes very seriously and not something he would ever just jump into without giving it some careful consideration.”

The source tells Us that Kelce, 34, “cares very deeply” about Swift, 34, but when it comes to a proposal, “he’s just not there yet.”

Questions about the future of Swift and Kelce’s relationship continue to rise as online fan chatter and a separate report also fueled proposal speculation. The couple’s recent romantic vacation to Lake Como — in between Swift’s European Eras Tour dates — also added to the rumors.

[From Us Weekly]

I tend to believe that Taylor played these kinds of games with Joe Alwyn too, dropping hints and speculation about an engagement on the horizon, publicly applying pressure that she wanted to get married. And we know how that ended up. Granted, this is just my gossip vibe – it’s perfectly possible that Taylor isn’t ready or she doesn’t care about a proposal. But that ET story felt authorized from her team, and it also feels like Travis’s people are publicly pushing back on it.

Meanwhile, Page Six reported that Travis will rejoin Taylor during the Portugal leg of the Eras Tour. They also plan on flying to Monaco on Sunday for the Monaco Grand Prix. Sunday is also the start of the French Open, btw. In case you’re wondering where my focus will be starting May 26th. Rafa Nadal’s last Roland Garros!

    Don’t keep up with them but have they even been together a year? Why the rush?

    • OliviaOne says:

      I feel like this is a nothing burger article. Anyone could have written this at any time taken any quotes out or in context. But it pays the bills ’cause Taylor still on no.1 this week, no?

    • Kebbie says:

      Less than a year. And they’ve spent 95% of that time apart. She’d fly in for a game and fly out the next day. They’ve spent very little time together. A few short vacations and maybe a few weeks together after the football season ended. An engagement would be absolutely insane at this point.

    • Hanna says:

      I’ve got married (eloped in Vegas) after 8 months of dating and we are still happily married after 20 years.they can do it if they want to, when you find the right person no need to wait around.

      • Bettyrose says:

        I knew my partner was the one almost immediately. There’s no set timetable that works for everyone. But I still hard cringe, especially these days, at the image of a woman passively waiting for a proposal.

  2. Barbara says:

    I don’t believe for one second that Travis or his friends are running to Us Weekly, of all publications. It’d be like believing the National Enquirer.

  3. VilleRose says:

    Well they haven’t been dating for even a year yet? Let them enjoy this time getting to know each other. It probably wouldn’t be wise while she’s in the middle of touring and he’s still playing football. When would they ever have time to plan a wedding? Travis doesn’t have that many football playing years left, he’s 34 and his brother retired at 36. I know some football players play into their early forties but I think Travis will follow his brother’s lead. He’ll want to go out on a good note like his brother. I think if they do last and get engaged, it’ll be when Taylor is not touring and when Travis is no longer playing football? They’ll always be busy even when Travis retires from football (he is definitely setting up a post football career for himself). But what do I know, they could get engaged tomorrow and get married at one of Taylor’s tour stops this year.

    • Eurydice says:

      Mandatory mini-camp starts the second week in June, so his schedule will start tightening up, too.

  4. Bettyrose says:

    Just what we need on the heels of Travis’s teammate trying to put us all in burkas, speculation that a high powered insanely successful woman is begging for a ring.

    • KeKe Swan says:

      What’s the rush? My husband and I were together 10 years and only got married because of Covid. Afterwards we were like, “What took us so long?!” But all this societal pressure to jump the broom is so … IDGI. That old Sting song “The secret marriage” is the one I live by. The marriage in your heart is the one that matters. Lol! And can’t you imagine what a bridezilla she might turn out to be?! 🤣😂🤣

  5. CatMum says:

    They haven’t been together for very long. Perhaps the New Relationship Energy is wearing off. Or perhaps it’s all made up goss. Who can say?

  6. Denise says:

    Ouch!

    Taylor loves to feel wanted and loved, I wonder how this makes her feel

  7. Emily says:

    Should Taylor not perform her new songs? None of them are love songs to Matty btw. Smallest man who ever lived is scathing.

    They’ve been dating 10 months. Not wanting to get married “anytime soon” isn’t the same as not talking about marriage. The source is questionable. ET, which ran the engaged soon story, is a Tree approved source.

    • Callie says:

      Thank you…I am ripping my hair out at the ‘she’s singing love songs to Ratty Healy’ every night narrative 😭 These are the furthest things from love songs (That said TTPD essentially birthed these crazy shippers who spread the rumors that normies are hearing and it’s up to Taylor to shut them down firmly if it is bothering her and/or Travis enough).

      I don’t think a proposal at 10 months when you’re 34 is unreasonable, just like I wouldn’t think waiting to engaged is unreasonable! BUT this article was really nasty in its approach. I don’t believe that he would authorize someone to talk so dismissively-bordering on-cruelly. The quotes make it sound like he doesn’t view their relationship seriously at all and that totally contradicts other things that he has said and done.

    • Juju says:

      Thank you for calling out that TTPD is not love songs! I have to say it’s got some of the harshest lines she’s ever written. Like “ You didn’t measure up
      In any measure of a man” is a very pointed reference that most men would take very personally. No wonder MH acted like he hadn’t heard the album!! 🤣

  8. manda says:

    I know next to nothing about TS and TK, as people, but I can’t imagine they will ever get married. They seem like very different people. Like, she strikes me as a person that reads books, and I’m betting he really does not.

    • Eurydice says:

      I can’t say about their personal reading habits, but Travis’ philanthropy supports STEM education and Read Across America.

    • Miss617 says:

      The “she’s smart, he’s dumb, she reads, he doesn’t” outlook of their compatibility is so simplistic and overlooks A LOT of other personality traits that they DO have in common. They’re both extreme extroverts/friend collectors, both still extremely close with their parents (she has at least one parent at each of her shows, same for him at his games), they both have an insane work ethic, and both value generosity/giving back (unless you’re trying to do business against her, then you get nothing, lol).

    • lucy2 says:

      I don’t know that much about them either, but my guess is they will get engaged, but not for another year or so.

    • windyriver says:

      “…she strikes me as a person that reads books, and I’m betting he really does not.”

      You could say the same thing about Harry and Meghan. In fact, Harry did say so in Spare, when Meghan told him about doing an Eat, Pray, Love summer, and he was like, “say what?”

      But they seem to have turned out alright.

    • Looper says:

      Doesn’t TS fuel this kind of in her song about them???

    • Cass says:

      Opposites attract is a thing

  9. fineapplewinner says:

    I’d believe ET over Us Weekly, every time. But either way, I think people should dial down the pressure on these two. I love them together but I think people can get a bit too intense about them.

    Anyway, I really don’t get how singing songs from her new album on tour is sending mixed signals? Obviously she was going to tour the album and it’s not like her TTPD set includes any love songs.

  10. Teee says:

    Co-dependent Karen is so JLo.

  11. Callie says:

    The verbiage and tone used by this “source” is callous…it would reflect very poorly on Travis IF true. However, I don’t believe it is true…it honestly sounds like someone with an axe to grind wanting to hurt one/both of them. Hit piece vibes. It also doesn’t match up with Travis’ public actions and words about Taylor. Not to mention most of US Weekly’s scoops about this couple have been wrong or gotten important details wrong. I just don’t think the source is legitimate and the magazine has a LONG way to go to become credible.

  12. BritinBoston says:

    This US Weekly story is so bogus – all it does is make Travis look like an ass (or cause strife in the fandom) because Taylor is out there on stage yelling about her love for him, which adds the layer of trying to make her look desperate or manipulative. It plays into the storyline that gossip pages want – there is trouble, there is a mismatch in wants, so that they can write about it. The line saying “it is not on his radar” is what tips me off that it is fake. Of course it is on his radar (I have no idea how much but it is not nothing), because that is inconsistent with everything we can see with our eyeballs and what he has said directly or indirectly on his podcast. It is just trying to stir up trouble.

  13. Elle says:

    While they seem to genuinely care about each other, they are also 34 and at the height of their careers, knowing that at least for him, he will likely be slowing down soon. I doubt either of them are in a rush to get married after less than a year of dating when they are both so busy. At least I hope that is what they are thinking, haha. This is meant to as no offense to anyone that did get engaged quickly. When you know, you know. But it’s kind of hard to know when you’re both traveling for work all of the time and under the spotlight. I can’t imagine!

  14. ariel says:

    All the engagement talk creeps me out. Only because they have known each other less than a year. And i realized in my 20s, dealing with roommates, you don’t really even start to know someone until you’ve shared a bedroom with them for a year and a half. And these two busy people spend a lot of time apart.
    They look happy and like they are having a good time and are crazy about each other. And good for them.
    But even when there is love- that doesn’t mean a long term relationship will work out- life gets in the way. And she in on tour into 2025, and he is trying to do a never been done 3-peat at the superbowl. They both have full lives. – though i think that is part of what may make it work.

    I think they look happy, and if they want a life together i hope they get it

  15. Normades says:

    I think Travis was the rebound from Matty and not Matty from Joe.

    • Anne says:

      ?? Are you for real? A rebound would not have survived crazy schedules and long-distance, hate from extreme right-wingers/rabid sports fanatics/her crazy stans, intense media scrutiny, over a period of 10+ months!! It would have flamed out way earlier. But on the rare chance Taylor would be using Travis to get over Matty she has serious problems and probably no one can help her 💀 I’m not saying that Taylor and Travis are forever, but the idea that she is rebounding when she has been with Travis longer than Matty at this point is silly. Especially when the songs about Matty are not actual love songs and Travis already has two.

  16. MaisieMom says:

    I don’t think this article is coming from either Travis or his peoiple, or anyone close to him actually. Even if it’s true that engagement is the furthest thing from his mind, he wouldn’t want that stated in a publication like this one. And definitely not in the rather callous tone it takes.

    Based on their actions, it’s clear these two are serious about each other and the relationship. That doesn’t mean they’re heading to the alter, but it does mean they want to protect what they have. If Travis took issue with the engagement rumors, he would talk to Taylor about it, not some magazine.

    For my part, I don’t think this is true. They’re both 34 and have had long-term relationships. They’re both family oriented. I would bet that they’ve discussed the prospect of marriage already. Which doesn’t mean it’s happening any time soon, or at all. But it is not “off their radar” completely.

  17. Michelle says:

    I think Taylor and Travis are already engaged or are very close to it. She wouldn’t be so public about her love for Travis if their relationship wasn’t locked down. Travis flies all over the world to her concerts, when he is very busy. They would not be making such major efforts to see each other if they were not in it for life. I think the Entertainment Tonight story was prep for engagement announcement and the US story was trying to news jack off speculation about an engagement.

    • Bettyrose says:

      But if they’re engaged, how can the sexist media continue to portray her like forlorn woman hopelessly waiting for her prince? What next? Marriage, children? Continued unprecedented levels of success? But there’s gotta be some way we can spin this to portray her as a woman unfulfilled.🤔

    • Ange says:

      Really? She’s public about all her relationships! She only tones down the ones where the bloke puts his foot down, like Joe.

  18. Charlotte says:

    JFC people! These are two very wealthy grown-ass adults, and no one should be “waiting for a proposal!”
    They’ll need lawyers and prenups, and this should be a grown up conversation about building a marriage, not about some stupid “fairy tale” photo op engagement. (I mean they can certainly do that if they want, but if Taylor’s about empowerment like she says she is, perhaps we can change the conversation and dial back the engagement as a photo-styled event in and of itself).
    Signed, your Auntie Charlotte, happily not married to her dude for decades now …

  19. JoanCallamezzo says:

    I think they got secretly engaged while in the Caribbean. I think they are a fantastic match, so much in common, they are great for each other. When you know you know. The Kelce brothers are big green flags.

  20. LarkspurLM says:

    It just clicked for me that Travis looks just like Ben Napier from Home Town HGTV!

  21. MaryContrary says:

    They’re 34 not 24, so I would think (since they do seem to want kids) that this would be more fast tracked. But my guess is that they still want to have dated a year plus.

  22. Mandy says:

    BS clickbait, end of. I take everything I read with a grain of sea salt. I Stan their relationship and hope for the best.

  23. Flamingo says:

    Travis doesn’t seem mature enough to even entertain the level of commitment needed for marriage. It will be years before something like that happens. I will assume post-retirement from the NFL if they make it that long.

    From all the photos, he seems like a fun and attentive boyfriend for “Tay” as he calls her on the New Heights podcast.

    But they haven’t even been dating for a year. I get the clickbait and traffic that drums up for articles about them. But this really is a nothingburger.

  24. Walking the Walk says:

    Love that people are still arguing that her latest album wasn’t about Matt Healy LMAO. Anyhoo. Yeah, I doubt either of them wants to get engaged right now.

  25. JFerber says:

    Well, I certainly hope this is not coming from Travis, but just reading the headline got me all in my feelings on Taylor’s behalf. (F-ck him if this is true, though!)

  26. Notjust says:

    I don’t get why an adult woman would play strategic games with the gossip media to drop hints at her equally adult boyfriend about wanting to get married.
    Seems incredibly dumb and stupid, especially if you can just, you know, talk about it together?

  27. Shirurusu says:

    I don’t think he wants to get married anytime soon. Here for a good time, not a long time. He gets attention and deals being with Taylor but I don’t think it’s serious, sorry for her if that’s what she actually wants. Also he’s an athlete at the top of his game so the chances of him not cheating are pretty slim…

    I’ll be very surprised if they make it down the isle…
