Taylor Swift Jay Biggerstaff-Imagn Images

Global pop sensation Taylor Swift has been public with her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce for over a year and are even spending Christmas together. The two are arguably the biggest couple in the United States at the moment, and many fans have been desperate to know when Kelce will pop the big question.

However, what many fans didn’t realize is that the couple could consider a secret engagement out of the spotlight.


Now, there’s increased speculation that that’s exactly what happened earlier this month.

Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, shared a photo from an Era’s tour-themed party, and many believe that the party was held to celebrate the couple taking the next step.

A picture where Swift flashed her right hand didn’t show a ring, but some fans believe that she blurred out her new rock.

“Hey. Um, guys? Do you feel like the pics with her hand are… blurred? Or am I hormonal,” one fan wrote on Instagram.

There have been reports throughout the last several months that the two have become increasingly close and consider one another whenever they’re considering making a big move.

With the holidays around the corner, this could mark the perfect time for Kelce to lock things down with a ring. However, it’s worth noting that no official reporting has confirmed an engagement just yet.
