Singer Taylor Swift and her Kansas City Chiefs beau Travis Kelce have not sealed the deal... yet!
The unofficially official first couple of the NFL who many affectionately dub "Tayvis," aren't headed down the aisle anytime soon. An insider close to the couple did not mince words when they denied the latest rumor that the duo were headed for marriage.
The couple have been dating for over a year now, with the "Closure" singer's presence being a pretty frequent fixture at Kelce's games with the Kansas City Chiefs. Before Kelce, Swift enjoyed a brief fling with The 1975's lead singer, Matty Healy. The musician was her first known public fling since the dissolution of her six-year relationship with "Conversations With Friends" actor, Joe Alwyn.
Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Were Thought To Get Engaged Last Summer
While the singer's 2024 has been pretty major, (her latest album, "The Tortured Poets Department" was released in April, and she continues touring on the 'Eras Tour'), her year has not been marked by an engagement announcement with her football guy!
Various reports detailed fan speculation about a possible Summer engagement, including that the big moment may have happened while she was on stage.
An insider revealed to Page Six that the big moment was set to happen while Swift was performing her proposal-fave 2010 classic "Love Story." The insider revealed Kelce would get down on one knee while the pop princess was singing "Marry me, Juliet/You never have to be alone/I love you, and that's all I really know," as The Blast previously reported.
The "Long Story Short" songstress was supposed to be "spending a lot of time in Kansas City" due to an impending engagement. The moment also could have happened privately away from cameras as well, because the source also detailed that "the wife of a top Chiefs exec" reportedly overheard Swift tell her friends she was already Kelce's fiancèe.
The Football Titan Denied He Was About To Be A Groom
The Kansas City Chiefs' Superbowl match back in February for many, but for some of the couple's admirers, the idea of Kelce proposing to Swift on his big night was a possibility.
The Kansas City Chief quickly shot down rumors that he and his gal were about to be wed, as The Blast previously reported.
"I'm focusing on getting this ring," Kelce told reporters at the time, referring to a Superbowl ring. "That's all my mind is focused on right now," he added, nipping the idea in the bud.

"Tayvis" is still going plenty strong! Swift recently came out to support her man play the New Orleans Saints after a string of missed games. Rumors that the pair had quietly broken up, and their split was why the "White Horse" singer was no longer hanging in suites also circulated before Kelce put them to rest.
The Swift and Kelce union is alive and well, but their union isn't a marriage; an insider is strongly shutting down further talk of an engagement after it was recently stirred by Troy Aikman's wordplay on Monday night!
According to TMZ, Aikman referred to Swift as Kelce's "Missus," seemingly inspiring a "whiplash" of new fan speculation.
Aikman later further explained himself by revealing he had heard 'Tayvis' "could very likely have been engaged"; The ESPN commentator revealed he had been "told" the information during an interview with the "Pardon My Take" podcast.
There Hasn't Been A 'Tayvis' Engagement
The aforementioned insider frankly put the rumor to rest!
"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. Two days ago everyone had decided they were broken up, now they’re allegedly secretly engaged? It’s whiplash-inducing," the source said to the publication.
The NFL star has spoken of Swift as recently as today on a new episode of "New Heights," detailing his gal's mission to improve his food palate, as The Blast previously reported.
Kelce also affectionately spoke about his lady's friendship with Blake Lively, sharing that he thinks the "It Ends With Us" actress is "cool." Praising mutual friends is seemingly an act of someone very much (still) in love!
