Travis Kelce Cleverly Sidesteps Question About a Super Bowl Proposal to Taylor Swift

Forget champagne problems—the only problem Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has is how to deal with nosy questions from reporters during Super Bowl LVIII media week.

On Wednesday, a brazen reporter dared to ask Kelce about the possibility of him proposing to his pop star girlfriend, Taylor Swift, at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas this weekend.

The reporter asked, “Who’s getting a ring first, the Niners or Taylor?”

Kelce let out a short sigh and said, “I’m hoping I get this ring on Sunday, I know that.”

Next question.

As was anticipated, the Chiefs tight end has fielded countless questions about Swift in the week leading up to the big game, and he’s handled them all with grace, honesty and his signature charm. The blunt and intrusive nature of this reporter’s particular question, however, may have ever-so-slightly rubbed Kelce the wrong way.

Amid rampant speculation about when Kelce and Swift might get married—one NFL broadcaster keeps joking that they already are—the Chiefs star only has one thing on his mind going into Sunday’s matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, and that’s winning his third ring.
