(NEXSTAR) – Will Travis Kelce propose to Taylor Swift at the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas? A reporter asked him that very question on Monday.
“Is there going to be another ring besides the Super Bowl ring if you win this thing on Sunday?” the reported hinted during media day.
Unfortunately for fans of the power couple and bettors alike, the Chiefs tight end shook it off, saying only, “I’m focused on getting this ring, and that’s all that my mind’s focused on right now.”
For Kelce and the Chiefs, the Super Bowl on Sunday means a rare chance for a rematch against the San Francisco 49ers, who they beat in 2019 by a score of 31-20. Unlike in Super Bowl LIV, however, a new audience segment may be tuning in this year – fans of Taylor Swift.
The romance between Swift and Kelce, which NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he “couldn’t have scripted,” has been the talk of the league this season, with her appearances at Chiefs games generating intense interest from her legion of Swifties.
“She’s definitely brought a lot of new faces to the game, and it’s been fun to experience that,” the Chiefs tight end said. “She seems to be enjoying the games, and she’s a part of Chiefs Kingdom right now. It’s fun seeing her enjoy the game of football knowing that it’s kind of new to her life.”
Kelce wasn’t the only one fielding questions about Swift on Monday. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said the pop star “has been great. She’s a good girl and humble.”
And while she has focused much of her attention on her boyfriend and the offense, Kansas City linebacker Nick Bolton said the defense has begun feeling the love from Swift and her fans.
“I think she’s been great for Chiefs Kingdom and also just the sport of football,” Bolton said.
Front Office Sports reported Swift has generated a “brand value” of $331.5 million for the Chiefs and the NFL, citing data from Apex Marketing Group.
