Proof Travis Kelce Was Planning Taylor Swift Proposal for Months

by

Travis Kelce was laying the groundwork months before he proposed to Taylor Swift.

It was Andrew Santino who disclosed that the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, unveiled his secret plan to propose marriage during their round of golf around April or May.

The comedian mentioned on the September 12th episode of Pardon My Take podcast that Travis claimed he would do something, but never specified when. He added, “I don’t like to nose around. We didn’t discuss the matter further.

He initially mentioned the topic, yet I didn’t follow up with questions about it later on. That doesn’t mean I’m uninterested, but I won’t be pressing for details like, ‘When is this happening? What’s the plan? What’s going on?’

He had mentioned something regarding that matter earlier, but since then, I didn’t probe further. It doesn’t imply indifference; I simply won’t ask follow-up questions such as ‘When is this taking place? What’s the schedule? What’s the latest update?’

Is it likely that Andrew expects an invitation to Travis and Taylor’s wedding? Although he might not be certain about attending the actual ceremony, he aspires to participate in some of the surrounding celebrations instead.

Andrew acknowledged he probably didn’t receive the invitation. He mentioned Trav as a close friend, someone he holds dear. Over the last couple of days, he had even played golf with his father, and they had video-called Trav to extend their congratulations.

He added, “Maybe I’ll catch a bachelor party invite, maybe…”

Taylor and Travis, who fueled relationship speculation during the summer of 2023, shared their exciting news of their engagement on August 26, posting a collection of images that depicted Travis proposing amidst a beautiful, rose-filled garden, bathed in shades of pink and white.

According to their shared Instagram post, it was revealed that the high school’s English and physical education teachers are set to wed.

However, it was disclosed by NFL star’s father, Ed Kelce, later on the same day that Travis had actually proposed to the Grammy winner some time earlier.

Ed shared with ABC News 5 Cleveland that Travis made his proposal roughly two weeks back. He took her out for what seemed like a dinner date, and instead of dining, suggested they have a drink together. This is where he popped the question, and it was quite romantic.

For a deeper dive into why Taylor and Travis were meant to be, keep reading…

Before Taylor Swift’s appearance at the Kansas City Chiefs’ game on September 24, 2023 turned into a major pop culture highlight for the year, it was already known that Travis Kelce had been a fan of the Grammy-winning artist.

The star tight end’s hidden relationship with Taylor became public knowledge through a teammate’s revelation in a TikTok video shared by the Chiefs in August 2023. At that point in time, it appeared they had been secretly dating.

Without a pause, before Travis could reveal his celebrity crush, it turned out to be wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling who blurted out, “Taylor Swift!

Travis smiled at the camera before holding his finger up to his mustache, saying, “Alright now!”

As a devoted fan, I myself had the privilege of being among the star-studded audience at Taylor’s groundbreaking Eras Tour. Interestingly enough, Travis was already there, long before our captivating love story began. Let’s delve deeper into that magical moment soon.

Although there’s a dreamy glint in Travis’ eyes, particularly when he watches Taylor during her performances at his games, Travis tends to be noticeable when compared to Taylor’s previous relationships.

She tends to be drawn towards individuals who are creative, such as actors like Joe Alwyn, Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Lautner, and Tom Hiddleston, as well as musicians including Calvin Harris, John Mayer, Harry Styles, and more recently, Matty Healy.

It’s possible that this change in her romantic life, involving the cheerful and playful sportsman who agreed on a new two-year contract worth $34.25 million with the Chiefs in 2024, feels like a fresh alternative for Taylor following the conclusion of her six-year very private relationship with Joe in April 2023.

It appears that the 10-time Pro Bowler’s desires have been fulfilled as he seemed to bring about his romantic relationship with the superstar by strongly focusing on it through intense desire, persistence, and open expressions of admiration.

On July 7, 2023, during the Kansas City stop of Taylor’s Eras Tour, Travis made headlines for his unsuccessful attempt to approach Taylor. In his hand, he carried a friendship bracelet with a special message – a number symbol that he intended for Taylor. However, it wasn’t clear whether the number was related to his jersey or phone number.

Although he asserted he felt “disappointed,” it turned out Taylor eventually tuned into his podcast instead of meeting him following the concert, as she admitted to TIME in December 2023.

Travis publicly praised me in a delightful manner on his podcast, which I found incredibly cool,” she reminisced. “Following this, we began spending a lot of private time together, a period that remained undisclosed to others. I’m thankful for this secret phase as it allowed us to deeply understand each other.

In other words, as Taylor made clear to TIME, we wouldn’t ever be reckless or insane enough to consider the September 24 game as our inaugural date.

Ever since she’s been dating Travis, Taylor Swift has increasingly been spotted in public more often – this includes social outings with friends around New York City, as well as enthusiastic appearances at various award ceremonies such as the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards and the 2024 Grammy Awards.

However, the occasion that generated the most buzz about her was when she sat in Travis’ suite during the San Francisco 49ers home game against the Chicago Bears on September 24, 2023.

Instead of avoiding the spotlight, Taylor enthusiastically yelled “Come on, let’s do this!” as Travis scored a touchdown. Even Travis acknowledged that he was surprised when Taylor agreed to join him, given her previous reluctance.

On his New Heights podcast a few days later, Travis expressed admiration for Taylor, saying she had shown some real courage by showing up. He was impressed by the fact that everyone in the suite only had positive remarks about her, including her friends and family.

“She looked amazing,” he added. ” It was definitely a game I will remember, that’s for damn sure.”

Ever since then, Taylor and Travis have frequently been spotted together, holding hands during their romantic outings worldwide. They’ve also paid numerous visits to a festive bar in Kansas City, openly displaying affection along the way.

After sharing with TIME magazine that she stepped away from the limelight following Kim Kardashian’s widely publicized phone call leak in 2016, Taylor Swift will be making appearances every night from now on, if she so chooses.

She remarked, “Time is fleeting; seek excitement. Spending many years confined to my home is a choice I can’t reclaim. I’ve become more trusting compared to how I was six years ago.

Travis made no qualms about discussing his past interactions with Taylor on his September 27, 2023 podcast, but he also emphasized that he intends to respect his personal life boundaries in future discussions.

He acknowledged that he attracted a lot of attention due to his actions, stating, “I went ahead and wore the friendship bracelet and shared with everyone how disappointed I was about not meeting Taylor.” However, he clarified that he had no intention of providing a detailed account of their relationship.

He clarified that his personal life is private and he values the privacy of both himself and the other person. He’s been having a good time lately and particularly enjoyed this past weekend. Moving forward, he plans to confine conversations about sports and using phrases like ‘alright nah’ to those settings.

In a November 2023 interview with the Wall Street Journal, he reaffirmed his determination to maintain a laid-back attitude.

Everyone around him was advising, ‘Be careful not to mess this up!’ He replied, acknowledging their concerns, ‘Yes, understood,’ to the outlet. Regarding the media attention, he emphasized that the most important thing for him was ensuring he didn’t say anything that could drive Taylor away.

However, just because he hasn’t managed to keep quiet about his girlfriend doesn’t mean he’s been able to refrain from discussing her in public. He has acknowledged her role in the increase of his jersey sales and described her as “amazing” following an instance where she was jeered by New England Patriots fans at a December 2023 game.

He confessed to the Wall Street Journal that he isn’t typically one to use many words. Being with Taylor, witnessing her intelligence, has been incredibly thought-provoking. Every day, I find myself learning something new.

Similar to Taylor, who has a strong bond with her mom Andrea, Travis comes from a close-knit family that includes his parents, Ed and Donna Kelce.

In a remarkable turn of events, Donna gained widespread admiration in early 2023 as she became the first mother to have her sons competing against each other in a Super Bowl. This extraordinary occasion unfolded when Travis squared off against his elder brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, in the highly-anticipated championship game that month.

As a devoted fan, I could never have imagined such a remarkable sequence of events: them excelling through high school, college, and the professional leagues, both being selected for the Pro Bowl, and then participating in the Super Bowl. To top it all off, this unbelievable twist unfolded before us. It’s surreal, indescribably special, and almost too good to be true for our family.

For two and a half decades after marrying Ed, Donna separated from him. During this period, she simultaneously raised her two sons by sporting a unique Eagles and Chiefs jacket with both black and red hues.

Following the Super Bowl, during which the Chiefs outperformed the Eagles, Travis and Jason became quite sentimental as they reminisced about having the experience with Donna.

When Jason spotted his mother, he became quite emotional,” he shared during the episode of the ‘New Heights’ podcast. “It was an incredibly thrilling experience…for a whole week, she seemed to be at the pinnacle of happiness.

In simpler terms, Travis said, “She was the undisputed champion,” emphasizing that she excelled consistently throughout.

Similar to Taylor and her sibling Austin Swift, Travis shares a unique bond with his elder brother Jason, who served as an inspiration for him to take up football.

Alongside their successful football careers in the NFL, Travis and Jason ventured into a new endeavor by starting their podcast titled “New Heights” in September 2022. This venture not only reinforced their bond but also boosted their financial standing.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it as: “I’ve found that this new approach provides us with a consistent block of time, approximately two to three hours, each week where we engage in open and honest conversations about our experiences during the games and throughout the rest of the week. It’s almost become like therapeutic sessions for me.” (February 2023)

In simpler terms, they didn’t physically encounter each other until 2023, but there were some unseen connections linking them prior to that point.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: In my circle, Miles Teller is a cherished friend. In fact, the charismatic star of Top Gun: Maverick and his wife Keleigh Sperry were graciously invited by me to be part of the music video for “I Bet You Think About Me” from my album Red (Taylor’s Version) in 2021. What an incredible collaboration that was!

In the meantime, Travis participated in a golf practice session alongside Miles and Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes, preparatory to the American Century Championship in 2022.

Miles shared a picture of us all on the golf course, captioning it as “Swing hard and swing well.” Travis showed our strong friendship was still going by re-sharing the photo and saying, “As if we’ve never taken a break!!!

Since Miles is known as a dedicated fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, maybe he used his connections to arrange a real-life meeting between Travis and Taylor.

On September 24, 2023, Taylor went to the game all by herself. However, when she watched the Chiefs face off against the New York Jets at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey on October 1, she was accompanied by a group of celebrity friends.

She was joined by her close friends Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman, along with Sophie Turner, Sabrina Carpenter, and Antoni Porowski from Queer Eye.

Though attending the game was a clear demonstration, Ryan’s action of following Travis on Instagram held an even stronger implication.

Apart from participating in four Super Bowls and triumphing in three of them (no big deal!), Travis has additionally hosted Saturday Night Live, demonstrating his ability to manage intense scrutiny gracefully.

It appears simple, yet Taylor’s songs, such as “Peace” and “The Archer,” express her concern that her celebrity status might become overwhelming for a potential partner.

According to Taylor, the situation depends on who you’re associating with. If they have strong reservations about it, one might find themselves concealing things or taking evasive actions. However, Taylor isn’t fond of this scenario because it makes them feel like they’re trying to avoid law enforcement or something similar. Taylor prefers not to feel like a fugitive, as if they need to hide their relationship out of fear.

“I feel like if you can be in a relationship and have it seem normal, that would be good.” 

In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Travis demonstrated that he’s well-equipped to handle the stress that comes from marrying a powerful figure like Taylor.

He stated, “I’ve never encountered someone who radiated that particular energy, and haven’t had experiences related to it. However, I’m not avoiding or shying away from anything associated with it either.

He remarked, “She is constantly under intense public scrutiny, as if viewed through a magnifying glass daily. Paparazzi are always outside her home, her favorite restaurants, and even after every flight she takes. Yet, she continues to live and enjoy life. When she behaves in such a manner, I make sure not to act out of the ordinary.

Demonstrating a romance worthy of a movie, fans were ecstatic when footage emerged during a concert in Argentina, November 2023, showing Taylor running into Travis’ arms for an affectionate kiss after their performance. This heartwarming moment was followed by a sweet surprise for Travis when Taylor altered the lyrics of her song “Karma” to reference him as “the guy on the Chiefs,” with his attendance alongside her father, Scott Swift, adding to the emotional impact.

Attending 13 stadium events in support of each other during their first season together – Taylor even flew directly from her Tokyo performance to watch the Super Bowl – demonstrates just how committed they are as a couple.

Taylor shared with TIME that we’ll be there cheering him on as he pursues his passion, showing solidarity and support. It’s quite the opposite for some couples who go to great lengths to hide their relationship from others. But we couldn’t be prouder of each other.

If her attendance at NFL games bothers you, rest assured, there’s no animosity between you and Taylor worth mentioning.

She mentioned that a camera, located about half a mile away, is somewhere unknown to her, and she’s unsure when her presence might be captured for broadcast. This leaves her uncertain about how frequently she might appear on screen – whether it’s just once or multiple times. All she wants is to support Travis. She expressed concern that if she’s appearing too often, it might irritate some fathers, Brad-types, and Chads.

Travis was born in—are you ready for it?—1989. Screaming, crying, throwing up, etc.

Regarding Killa Trav’s birthday on October 5th, did you realize it coincides with the birthdate of Taylor Swift’s late grandmother, Marjorie Finlay? Interestingly, she was the inspiration for her song “Marjorie” from the album ‘evermore’ in 2020. If we weren’t aware, one might think this could be a symbolic connection…

She’s loved him three summers now, honey, and she’s going to get ’em all.
