Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have been dating for nearly a year (I’m rounding up, leave me alone!) and naturally some fans want to know when Travis is gonna pull out a ring and say “Marry me, Juliet, you’ll never have to be alone I love you, and that’s all I really know.”
The answer? No one’s business, to be quite honest, but that hasn’t stopped everyone from talking about it. And when I say everyone, I mean sources, insiders, friends, and even Travis himself. Multiple times!
Due to being truly committed to the Taylor Swift + Travis Kelce discourse and wanting to procrastinate on the rest of our responsibilities, we’ve rounded up literally everything everyone’s said about a possible engagement. Enjoy!

What “Sources” and “Insiders” Say
December 2023: Page Six spoke to a “source close to Kelce” who claimed Trav asked Scott Swift for his permission to propose to Taylor. Ahem: “Scott has been asked for his blessing and has wholeheartedly given it, and Travis has been talking to friends about a ring.”
January 2024: Page Six reported “there’s buzz around Swift’s camp” that Travis and Taylor will get engaged in the summer, and Travis only didn’t propose on Valentine’s Day because “they don’t want it to seem like it’s rushed insanity.” Their source added, “Taylor and Travis discussed it and there is a plan. They will get engaged on their one-year anniversary in July.”
May 2024: An insider told Entertainment Tonight on May 17 that “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.”
But then just a few days later on May 21, a source told Us Weekly that “Travis has no plans on proposing to Taylor anytime soon. 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.”
What Friends and Family Say
Travis’ mom Donna Kelce was asked about a potential engagement by CNN and said “It’s totally up to them, them being happy, we don’t know anything, for right now, I’m sure he would call me up and tell me, and I haven’t heard anything yet. That’s all you want for your children is happiness, nothing else matters.” Just a mom momming!
Meanwhile, Travis’ Chiefs teammate Harrison Butker straight up said “I hope they get married and start a family.”
Finally, a sentiment I can relate to.
What Travis Says (Because Yes, He’s Spoken Out!)
First, there was the time he was minding his own business at a Super Bowl press conference and a reporter (some might say boldly) asked him “Is there going to be another ring besides the Super Bowl ring if you win this thing on Sunday?” Travis’s response? “I’m focused on getting this ring, and that’s all that my mind’s focused on right now.”
Then, Travis was chatting about NBA player Victor Wembanyama on his podcast New Heights, and after saying “You can’t tell me that dude wasn’t made in a fucking lab over there in France. Lab-grown diamonds, that’s a lab-grown fucking NBA player,” he said—slightly under his breath—“Can’t wait til I fuckin’ make one.”
Note: Travis’ brother Jason responded with “Don’t do this. Do not give any of these other conspiracy theorists anything else to latch onto, please.”
And most recently (we’re talking June 2024), Travis was asked by Jason Sudeikis when he’s “gonna make an honest woman” out of Taylor, and simply smiled his way through the question.
