Taylor Swift‘s legion of diehard fans have not tired of speculating about Travis Kelce getting down on one knee and popping the question to their beloved songstress.
But is the Kansas City Chiefs star actually about to propose?
On the eve of the new season, NFL insider Adam Schefter dropped a major hint that Travis may well have purchased an engagement ring just over a year since his romance with Taylor began.
Schefter – one of the most reputable reporters in the sport – jokingly 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?’
Scheftler paused while looking very coy before adding: ‘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 said: ‘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.’
The ESPN reporter’s hint has sparked a frenzy online, with fans adamant that he knows something that we don’t.

Another posted: ‘Schefter *trying* to maintain a poker face after asking THE question’.
A third commented: ‘now that’s interesting’.
‘Oooh i see it,’ said a fourth.
While one speculated: ‘Maybe he did’.
Despiter Schefter suggesting an engagement could be on the cards, it is believed Kelce won’t propose to Swift until the couple have agreed a prenup.
A source quoted by Life and Style revealed Travis and Taylor are ready for the next step, but the NFL legend will not pop the question until financial terms are in place for if they were to ever split up.

‘This is a lot further along than either Taylor or Travis would care to admit, since they’ve considered themselves unofficially engaged for a while and are both 100 percent committed to spending the rest of their lives together and starting a family,’ the source is quoted as saying.
‘The formalities are just their schedules that have gotten in the way, as well as the logistics of a prenup, which is obviously complicated by the vast amounts of money involved on both sides.
‘There’s just no way Taylor would walk down the aisle without a prenup. They both want it figured out before Travis gets down on one knee.’
