Over the weekend, the worlds of NFL and entertainment intersected as Josh Allen, quarterback for the Bills, announced his engagement to actress-singer Hailee Steinfeld. The 28-year-old’s proposal took place in a beautiful setting featuring a floral arch and candles, which he shared on Instagram, earning a reaction from fans, including a “like” from Taylor Swift.
As congratulatory messages flowed in, fans quickly shifted their focus to Travis Kelce, the 35-year-old tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. Social media buzzed with encouragement for Kelce to propose to Swift, with comments like, “You next,” and “Your move bro.”
The romance between Kelce and Swift has been a hot topic since they were first spotted together in September 2023. Their relationship has ignited a wave of fan speculation and social media excitement regarding their potential future.
The Grammy-winning singer has been a noteworthy figure at the Chiefs’ games, recently witnessed during their narrow 19-17 win against the Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium. Swift’s enthusiastic support for player Kelce has significantly boosted NFL viewership, with many deeming her presence a lucky charm for the team.
Excitement Around Allen and Steinfeld’s Engagement
On a different note, Josh Allen’s engagement to Hailee Steinfeld has stirred public interest. The couple, who began seeing each other in May 2023, has maintained a largely private relationship. Their engagement has caught the eye of many, including Swift, who showed support by liking their announcement on Instagram.
Steinfeld and Swift share a close friendship, having collaborated back in 2014 for Swift’s iconic “Bad Blood” music video. This connection adds a layer of intrigue to the ongoing discussions surrounding the possible Kelce-Swift relationship engagement.
Fans of Kelce and Swift see Allen’s engagement as a potential signal for Kelce to consider his own romantic advancements. Social media is buzzing with speculations on whether Kelce might propose soon, especially with Swift’s highly anticipated Eras Tour concluding in Vancouver next week.
One Twitter user exclaimed, “Travis has to be next—imagine the engagement of the century!” Others noted the comparative nature of Kelce’s and Allen’s relationships, humorously suggesting Kelce should “step up his game.”
Concentration Amidst Romance
Despite the romantic buzz, both Kelce and Allen are focused on their football seasons. The Chiefs, fresh from their close win over the Raiders, are gearing up for an important December to secure their playoff place.
Meanwhile, Allen and the Bills, who previously dealt the Chiefs their initial defeat of the season in Week 11, face a chilly matchup against the 49ers this Sunday night in Buffalo.
What Lies Ahead for Kelce and Swift
As Swift nears the conclusion of her Eras Tour and Kelce strives for another Super Bowl title, fans are curious about the possibility of an engagement. Whether or not Kelce will take inspiration from Allen’s recent proposal remains uncertain, but it is clear that this high-profile NFL couple is set to keep making headlines.
