Rumors continue to swirl about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s potential engagement, with comedian Jason Sudeikis jokingly questioning Kelce about his plans during a comedy sketch at a charity event in Kansas City. Sudeikis referenced Chiefs player Harrison Butker’s controversial “homemaker” speech and joked about Swift not needing to work anymore, leading Kelce to simply smile and play along with the jokes. While some fans on TikTok felt Kelce may have looked uncomfortable during the exchange, others believe he was aware of the comedic nature of the skit.
The Butker speech, in which he encouraged women to embrace traditional gender roles, sparked backlash last month when he quoted Swift’s song “Bejeweled” and referred to her as “my teammate’s girlfriend.” Kelce addressed the speech on his podcast, stating that he does not agree with Butker’s views but considers him a great person and teammate. Kelce did not mention the Swift quote in his response. Some fans speculate that Kelce may have already proposed to Swift during a recent trip to Lake Como, Italy, noting a photo of Kelce with a smile and chin rub as a possible hint.
Swift and Kelce’s relationship has been the subject of much speculation, with reports suggesting that an engagement may be imminent. A source shared with Entertainment Tonight that Taylor and Travis are doing well and that their loved ones anticipate an engagement in the near future, citing their compatibility as a couple. Despite the ongoing rumors, neither Swift nor Kelce have confirmed any engagement plans publicly. The pair was recently spotted enjoying a romantic boat ride on Lake Como, adding fuel to the speculation about a possible proposal in the works.
During a charity event in Kansas City, Sudeikis jokingly prodded Kelce about potential engagement plans with Swift, referencing Butker’s “homemaker” speech in a playful manner. Kelce’s reaction to the jokes was met with mixed perception from fans on social media, with some noting his discomfort at certain moments. However, others believe Kelce was simply playing along with the comedic nature of the skit, as he smiled and responded in a lighthearted manner. As speculation about their relationship continues, Swift and Kelce have remained tight-lipped about any potential engagement news.
In response to Butker’s controversial speech, Kelce expressed his disagreement with the views presented while acknowledging Butker as a good person and teammate. The speech, in which Butker referenced a Taylor Swift song and encouraged traditional gender roles, received criticism for its outdated and sexist messaging. While Kelce did not address the specific Swift quote mentioned in the speech, his comments reflected a stance against promoting such values. As the discussion around Kelce’s alleged proposal to Swift persists, fans remain eager to see if the couple will confirm any engagement news in the near future.
