Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's relationship poised for next step
Travis Kelce is reportedly close to proposing to Taylor Swift. The Chiefs star tight end, who has three Super Bowl wins, is planning to get engaged to the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter soon, sources told Page Six.
Kelce has been searching for the perfect ring and even sought Swift’s father Scott’s blessing, which was given wholeheartedly.
Swift, currently on her record-breaking The Eras Tour, has been performing worldwide since 2023.
The tour will conclude in Vancouver on December 8. During a break in August, she plans to spend significant time in Kansas City with Kelce before resuming her tour in October.
Kelce and the Chiefs are gearing up for the upcoming NFL season, starting September 5 with an AFC Championship Game rematch against the Ravens.
Swift and Kelce's relationship began last fall after she attended a home game at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium.

Swifties upset with Travis Kelce for walking out with Morgan Wallen
Since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce went public with their relationship last year, Swifties have wholeheartedly embraced the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and the team itself but Morgan Wallen is making them change their stance.
Despite their busy schedules with Taylor’s Eras Tour and Kelce’s football commitments, the couple has made the most of their time together.
Taylor has been a regular at Chiefs games, and Travis has frequently attended Taylor’s concerts, even making a surprise guest appearance during a London show.
Travis’s unwavering support for Taylor and her career has endeared him to Swifties, with fans reacting positively to their romance.
However, his latest move has stirred some discontent.
Morgan Wallen recently performed in Kansas City as part of his 'One Night At A Time' tour.
On the second night, Kelce, along with Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and defensive tackle Chris Jones, joined Wallen as he made his way to the stage. This has not sat well with some Swifties, who are less than thrilled with Kelce's association with Wallen.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce express disdain for the idea of time apart
Travis Kelce has had to distance himself from Taylor Swift to focus on the upcoming NFL season, and according to a source close to the couple, both are anxious about handling their time apart.
They’ve become so codependent that even a few weeks apart is distressing for them. Taylor, 34, and Travis, 34, first sparked dating rumors when Taylor was seen cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end in September 2023.
She joined him and his teammates for post-game celebrations, and Travis later praised her on his 'New Heights' podcast. By October, they were publicly seen holding hands at a Saturday Night Live afterparty.
“They’ve both gotten so codependent the idea that they won’t see each other for even a few weeks is totally sickening for them,” the insider revealed.
Now, with Travis preparing for the NFL season and Taylor gearing up for a European leg of her Eras tour next month, their relationship faces another challenge.
Taylor is worried about potential temptations for Travis, despite trusting him completely. Similarly, Travis is concerned about the attention Taylor might receive from other men.
“Taylor is especially freaked out because she’s always got this fear of other women trying to get at Travis hanging over her head,” the source explained. “She trusts him and he’s not done anything to make her worry, but the reality is he’s a guy and there’s always temptation.”
With Travis unable to follow Taylor on tour due to training camp and Taylor’s tour dates extending over the next month, they will be navigating a period of long-distance in their relationship.

Family of freed American Alsu Kurmasheva to miss Taylor Swift concert
Miriam Butorin was set to celebrate her 13th birthday at Taylor Swift's concert on August 3, but she's missing it for a heartwarming reason.
Her mother, Alsu Kurmasheva, a Russian-American journalist, was released from Russian detention on August 1 in a historic prisoner swap involving Russia, the US, and other Western nations.
Kurmasheva, who had been detained since October 2023 on charges her family and employer deny, was part of a complex swap that also included Americans Evan Gershkovich and Paul Whelan.
President Joe Biden announced Kurmasheva’s release at the White House, where he led a birthday song for Miriam.
Kurmasheva was reunited with her family at Joint Base Andrews late August 1, hugging Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris before embracing her daughters and husband.
Despite missing the concert, Miriam’s family remains hopeful for future opportunities to see Swift live.
Her father, Pavel Butorin, who had purchased the tickets in anticipation of Kurmasheva’s return, expressed that July 30 was an incredible day, filled with the joy of reuniting with loved ones.
