A Source Close to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Spoke Out About That Summer Engagement Report
For the second time in a month, Page Six ran a report claiming Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will be getting engaged soon. Within hours, The Messenger ran its own report debunking it. A source close to Kelce and Swift told The Messenger that “there are still no plans for an engagement. It’s still new, and they’re happy and still getting to know each other.” Swift and Kelce have only been dating for six months.
The clarification came after a source claimed to Page Six that Swift and Kelce were planning on a summer engagement. They had initially been considering a holiday one, that insider alleged, but decided against it and a Valentine’s Day proposal because “they don’t want it to seem like it’s rushed insanity.” That insider added that “Taylor and Travis discussed it, and there is a plan. They will get engaged on their one-year anniversary in July.”
Clearly not, per The Messenger’s insider, but that hasn’t stopped many people from trying to speculate how soon the couple will get engaged. Despite their romance being relatively new, some media outlets and fans have treated their getting married as a question of when, not if.
Swift’s publicist Tree Paine recently spoke out against this kind of gossip when responding to unverified celeb gossip outlet DeuxMoi’s assertions that Swift had secretly married her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn. Swift and Alwyn kept their six-year relationship very private but were never reported to have even been engaged.
“Enough is enough with these fabricated lies about Taylor from Deuxmoi,” Paine wrote. “There was NEVER a marriage or ceremony of ANY kind. This is an insane thing to post. It’s time for you to be held accountable for the pain and trauma you cause with posts like these.”
Should Swift and Kelce get engaged someday and want to share the news, they will share it. In the meantime, it is worth noting the only people who definitively know their future plans are them.
