ESPN wonders if Travis Kelce bought Taylor Swift an engagement ring

ESPN is all in on engagement speculation when it comes to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love story.

“NFL Live” anchors debated the matter — which fans of the Grammy winner have speculated on since news broke last fall of her romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end — on Tuesday’s broadcast.

“Travis Kelce made a big purchase recently. No, not an engagement ring, but it was Swift-adjacent,” quipped Laura Rutledge, referring to news of Kelce’s new racehorse named Swift Delivery, adding, “I like it.”

“How do you know that Travis Kelce didn’t buy an engagement ring?” Adam Schefter asked.

“I don’t know. Do you know?” asked Rutledge. “Are you gonna break some big news here?”

“I’m just saying, you said he didn’t buy an engagement ring, and I’m just wondering…” responded Schefter.

The Super Bowl champ and hitmaker, both 34, went public with their romance last September. They’ve since taken their relationship global, with Kelce regularly popping up at international legs of the singer’s record-breaking Eras Tour.

In May, a source told Entertainment Tonight the stars’ “loved ones see an engagement coming sooner than later.” However, an insider swiftly told Us Weekly engagement was “not even on [Kelce’s] radar.”

“Travis has no plans on proposing to Taylor anytime soon,” said the latter source.

The pair went Instagram official in July in a selfie featuring Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte at one of Swift’s Wembley stadium shows. Later that weekend, Kelce joined Swift on stage.

Taylor Swift brings UK stabbing attack survivors backstage at Eras Tour

20 August 2024 at 17:47

Taylor Swift shared a “magical” evening with two girls involved in the deadly stabbings that took place at a Taylor Swift themed dance yoga class in Southport, England.

Swift invited the children on the London stop of her “Eras Tour” and spent time with the pair backstage after the show. Photos of the sweet moment were posted by the mother, Sami Foster, in a TikTok captioned, “You drew stars around my scars   ….,”

The montage of snaps shows the family posing with the Grammy winner, a moment Foster describes as “pure happiness.” “Making the most magical night possible for us all. thank you for bringing Hope & Autumn pure happiness last night & always.”

Previous videos on Foster’s TikTok page show the family have been long time fans of the “Karma” singer and had attended the Eras Tour several times already.

On July 29, the girls were two of several affected by an attack that took place inside a dance school when 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, armed with a knife, started stabbing those inside. Three child victims identified as Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Alice Dasilva Aguiar were killed and 10 other were injured.

The attacker was charged with murder, 10 counts of attempted murder, and possession of a bladed article.

On August 1, Rudakubana appeared in court for the first time where the judge did not set bail. “You are remanded into youth accommodation detention until proceedings are completed,” the judge told Rudakubana, per the Liverpool Echo. “I am not granting you bail today.”

After the incident, Swift reportedly sent gifts and balloons to the hospitalized victims. In the wake of the attack she wrote on her Instagram stories, “These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families.”
