Could wedding bells be ringing for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift? That was the burning question on ESPN's NFL Live, where a discussion about the 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end's recent purchase led to some speculation about his personal life.
On Tuesday, August 27, host Laura Rutledge pointed out Kelce's latest investment, a racehorse named Swift Delivery. "Travis Kelce made a big purchase recently," she teased. "No, not an engagement ring, but it was Swift-adjacent."
That's when NFL insider Adam Schefter jumped in with a curveball, pressing his colleague on her certainty about the ring — or the lack thereof. "How do you know that Travis Kelce didn't buy an engagement ring?" he probed, sparking an exchange that left viewers wondering if the 35-year-old reporter was sitting on some blockbuster news. Rutledge's response only fueled the fire: "I don't know, do you know? Are you going to break some big news here?"
After giving each other the side eye, Sheftner, 57, clarified, "I'm just saying, you said that he didn't buy an engagement ring and I'm just wondering how you got that information."
Following a long pause, football analyst Booger McFarland noted "the awkward silence" and then posed a question: "Do you know something, Schefty? America wants to know." Without missing a beat, Sheftner replied, "All I did was ask a question about how Laura knew he hadn't bought an engagement ring. That's all I was doing."
Rutledge capped off the exchange with on a cheeky note, saying she'd take a second look at the footage to decode Schefter's elusive hints: "I'm going to go back and rewatch this and analyze everything that your face does, Adam."
ESPN shared the debate on X (formerly Twitter), and it didn't take long for fans to enter the chat.
"Definitely a question worth asking! 😄," one user mused.
"They have to get married! He is a legend," another fan insisted.
"If they don't get married she never will," commented a third.
"Asking what the people want to know 🩷 so did he?!!! 💍" queried another.
The lovebirds, who began dating in late August last year, went public with their romance in September 2023. Swift was seen at 13 Kansas City Chiefs games — her lucky number — cheering on the football star. In a reciprocal gesture of support, Kelce attended several of the "Cruel Summer" singer's Eras Tour shows across the U.S. and overseas, even joining her on stage during a London performance in June.
