Taylor Swift’s game-day outfits at recent Kansas City Chiefs games have sparked a wave of speculation among fans about a potential engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce.
Swift and Kelce, both 35, have been dating since the summer of 2023. Their romance quickly became a cultural phenomenon.
Ever since, fans have been speculating that Taylor Swift is secretly engaged, analyzing everything from her cryptic social media posts to subtle outfit choices for clues.
Taylor Swift Sparks Engagement Rumors With Game-Day Accessory Choices
The latest buzz began earlier this month when the pop superstar donned leather gloves during the Chiefs' game against the Houston Texans.
Observant fans couldn’t help but wonder if Swift was trying to conceal something special. “Not a lot of people in that suite wearing gloves. Could Taylor be hiding the ring?!” one fan asked on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
Another added, “Us: OMG, we’ll know if she has a ring on that finger. Taylor: What if I wear gloves?”
A third fan joked, “Swifties want to know: are the gloves hiding a ring? Caitlin [Clark was] not wearing gloves. Was Taylor colder than Caitlin?”

The rumors gained even more traction on Sunday when Swift accessorized with Louis Vuitton gloves while celebrating the Chiefs' victory against the Buffalo Bills. The team’s win secured their spot as AFC Champions and punched their ticket to the Super Bowl. Swift joined Kelce on the Arrowhead Stadium field, cheering for her boyfriend’s success in the tunnel.
Amanda Hirsch, host of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, highlighted the gloves on her Instagram Stories, writing, “Do we think Taylor is hiding an engagement ring under those gloves?”
Interestingly, Swift arrived at the game with bare hands and only donned the gloves when she took to the field, further fueling speculation.
This isn’t the first time Swift has been at the center of engagement rumors. Fans previously noticed a seemingly blurred hand in photos from her Eras Tour wrap party, leading to similar questions.

Taylor Swift showcased her signature game-day style with a head-to-toe Louis Vuitton look for the occasion. She sported a $5,000 monogram jacket, a $550 black beanie, red tights, a trunk-inspired chain wallet priced at $2,850, and $1,760 high-heeled ankle boots — all adorned with the iconic Louis Vuitton logo.
Her ensemble was completed with her go-to accessory of the moment: a $32,000 Panthère de Cartier watch. She added a touch of elegance with a gold coin necklace, a chain bracelet, and a black pleated mini skirt, which may be the same piece she wore at last year’s AFC Championship game for luck.
Swift’s preference for Louis Vuitton’s logo-heavy designs has become a standout trend this season, making appearances not only at NFL games but also during date nights with Travis Kelce and other outings.
Swifties Are Convinced Taylor And Travis Are Engaged
This is by far the first time fans speculated about an engagement between the pop star and the NFL player. In August 2024, Taylor Swift fueled the rumors during a concert in Warsaw, Poland. The singer’s subtle gesture—adjusting her left ring finger while smiling brightly—has reignited fan theories that wedding bells might be in her near future.
According to an insider who spoke with Page Six, Kelce is gearing up to pop the question in a way that mirrors one of Swift's most iconic songs. “Travis is planning on pulling out a ring and saying, ‘Marry me, Juliet, you’ll never have to be alone. I love you, and that’s all I really know,’” the source claimed.
Adding fuel to the fire, a “wife of a top Chiefs exec” was reportedly overheard telling friends in a suite that the couple is already engaged.
Taylor 'Feels Safer' With Travis Than 'Anyone She's Ever Known'
In October 2024, Page Sixreported that Kelce might be planning to propose soon. A source revealed at the time, “She feels safer with him than anyone she’s ever known. She knows he would do anything for her, and physically she feels protected by him, which she loves.”
For now, the gloves remain on, and fans are left to wonder: Is there a diamond under there?
