Did Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce already take the next step in their relationship?
Kelce gave fans a peek into his offseason adventures with a July 24 Instagram post, sharing a photo carousel that featured several snapshots—including a few with his girlfriend of two years. But, one image in particular caught fans’ attention: his phone lock screen, which showed a picture of the couple.

But what really sparked speculation was the way Taylor posed, holding up her hands with what looked like a glimmering ring, igniting rumors of a possible engagement.
Sadly for fans who were hoping for an engagement, E! News has confirmed that the bling in question wasn’t an engagement ring, but rather Travis’ Super Bowl rings.
Though Taylor wasn’t sporting a ring from the three-time Super Bowl champion, the post did signal a new chapter in their relationship: Travis officially made things Instagram official. Since Taylor first attended one of his games in October 2023, Travis hasn’t shied away from discussing their relationship.
"You want to keep things private, but at the same time, I'm not here to hide anything," he said during a June 2024 episode of Bussin' With The Boys. "Like, that's my girl, you know what I mean, that's my lady, so I'm proud of that."

But more than anything, Travis has been taken with Taylor herself. He shared that what truly drew him in was her authenticity.
