Travis Kelce Drops Taylor Swift Love Bomb at Chiefs Event with Mahomes

With the NFL season set to kick off soon when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Baltimore Ravens, one might expect Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce to be fully focused on the upcoming game and season. Yet, it seems his girlfriend Taylor Swift is still very much on his mind.

On Wednesday night, while on stage with Patrick Mahomes and other Chiefs stars at the team’s annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Loews Kansas City Hotel in Missouri, Kelce made a comment revealing just that. Mitch Holthus, the voice of the Chiefs and the event’s host, expressed his affection for everyone on stage.

Both Mahomes and Kelce reciprocated the sentiment with ‘I Love Yous’ of their own. However, when Holthus asked Kelce if his love for him was greater than his love for Swift, the tight end amusingly replied, ‘Maybe not,’ which drew laughs from the entire crowd before the conversation shifted back to football.

But that wasn’t the only time Swift was mentioned. Chiefs pass rusher Chris Jones joked that a Lombardi Trophy wasn’t the only thing he hoped to bring back to Kansas City; he also wanted ‘more Swifties.’ Kelce reassured his teammate, ‘They’re on the way.’

These comments come amid rumors about Kelce possibly purchasing an engagement ring for Swift. On the eve of the new season, NFL insider Adam Schefter hinted that Kelce may have bought an engagement ring, just over a year since his romance with Swift began.

Schefter, a highly reputable sports reporter, playfully interrogated ESPN host Laura Rutledge when she reacted to news about Kelce buying a racehorse with a Swift-themed name by quipping that he is yet to buy a ring. ‘Wait, I have a question,’ he said. ‘Laura, how do you know that Travis Kelce didn’t buy an engagement ring?’

Rutledge replied, ‘I don’t know. Do you know? Are you gonna break some big news here?’ Schefter, looking coy, added, ‘I’m just saying that you said he didn’t buy an engagement ring, and I’m wondering how you have that information.’

Two-time NFL champion Booger McFarland then chimed in, ‘Whoah, whoah, whoah… the awkward silence right there speaks volumes. Schefty, do you know something? America wants to know.’ But Schefter responded, ‘All I did was ask a question about how Laura knew he hasn’t bought an engagement ring. That’s all I was doing.’
