Speculation that Taylor Swift is engaged to Travis Kelce was sparked by the fact that fans noticed a telltale detail in some of the photographs that were taken during the closing party for her Eras Tour.
Per Page Six, following the posting of photographs from the get-together by the friend of the "Bad Blood" singer, Brittany Mahomes, on Instagram on Wednesday, a number of admirers with keen eyes observed that Taylor's ring finger appeared to be missing something.
In a single photograph, the Grammy winner was seen posing with Mahomes, fellow Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Lyndsay Bell, and her close friend Ashley Avignone, all while carrying a cocktail in her hand.
Liz Woods took to her Instagram Story to bring attention to the fact that Taylor's ring finger could have been partially obscured in the photographs.
"Because wearing an engagement ring after getting engaged at a party celebrating you sounds like the most perfect night ever!" Taylor responded to a question posed by another fan, asking why she would not simply remove the probable engagement band altogether.
Both the singer of "Fortnight" and Travis, who are both 35 years old, had a great time dancing the night away at her party, which also included Patrick Mahomes, Brittany's husband, and Ross Travis, a close friend of the tight end.
A collection of photographs was posted by Travis, which showed Taylor tearing around the dance floor while clutching a black microphone in her hand.
According to The Economic Times, the pop sensation sported a minidress by Balmain that was black in color and had crystal beading along the front. Her distinctive red lipstick, black peep-toe heels, and diamond earrings from De Beers that cost $36,000 were the accessories that she wore with this ensemble.
In the meantime, the Mahomeses, both of whom are 29 years old, are dressed up as Travis and Taylor. The pregnant former soccer star is wearing a silver fringed minidress, a matching "Karma"-coded jacket, and bedazzled knee-high boots.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs quarterback is wearing a full tuxedo with tails to pay homage to the outfit that Travis wore when he made a surprise appearance onstage during the third London Eras Tour stop in June.
There is no information on the time or location of the party, but it follows on the heels of Taylor's celebration of her 35th birthday the previous week and the conclusion of her record-breaking Eras Tour on December 8, respectively.
X users quickly shared their thoughts on the potential engagement between Taylor and Travis, with reactions ranging from excitement to skepticism. One fan asked, "Is it just me or is there something on Taylor's ring finger? Travis Kelce, is that you?" while another said, "If Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged, I'll be obsessed for life." A third follower claimed, "Taylor and Travis are definitely engaged, just hiding it."
On the other hand, a netizen wondered, "Why are we talking about engagement rings when there's a whole tour wrap-up to celebrate?" Another added, "Wouldn't surprise me if Taylor and Travis got engaged." while a fashion enthusiast admired Swift's dress, stating, "That dress she wore to the party was EVERYTHING ."
Business Times has reached out to Taylor Swift for comments.
