The duo have been together since August 2023

Travis Kelce is reportedly 'worried' about proposing to Taylor Swift, with a source revealing that the NFL star is 'overthinking it' behind the scenes.

The duo have become one of America's biggest power couples since they first started dating back in 2023.


Engagement rumours swirled before the Super Bowl in February, only for Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs team to crash to defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans.

The couple have been keeping a low profile ever since that loss, with Swift booed while sitting next to rapper Ice Spice, something that's believed to have caused her anguish.

According to Heat, Kelce wants to propose to Swift. However, he's 'worried' that he needs to get the moment just right to please both the singer and her army of fans around the world.

A source is quoted as saying: "Travis wants the proposal to be unforgettable, like something out of a movie.

"He knows Taylor’s had some pretty romantic moments in her life, and he wants to top them.

"The pressure is intense because not only does he have to wow Taylor, but he also has to impress all the fans too.

"The whole world is watching and judging and constantly talking about when and where this will happen, it’s a lot to handle.

"He’s worried about the timing, the location, even what he’s going to wear, it’s sweet, but he’s definitely overthinking it."

There have been rumours that the duo have considered splitting. However, the outlet says that their relationship is still going strong, even though they've been limiting their public appearances.

The source added: "He’s been secretly working with a jeweller to custom design one and bouncing ideas off her closest friends to make sure it’s perfect, so this is definitely happening soon.

"Her friends are all sworn to secrecy, but they’ve been dropping hints to Taylor, so she knows it’s coming, it’s just a matter of when."

It is currently unclear if the couple live together, though Kelce did seemingly hint that was the case while speaking to his brother, Jason Kelce, on their New Heights podcast.

While Kelce is worried about the proposal he's not the only one, with Swift 'nervous' about the saga dragging on.

The insider continued: "Taylor has every faith that Travis will pop the question eventually, but it is making her a little nervous that it’s dragged on so long.

"The talk amongst her friends is that she’d love them to be officially engaged by the start of the football season, but that’s only a few months away and so she’s resigned to the possibility that he may put it off until after that.

"Bottom line is that Travis has the entire summer to do this but he’s not one to respond to pressure or expectation – that’s a big reason why he’s held off this long already and is still waiting for the perfect moment.

"And of course the longer this goes on the more the expectation builds, which they both find enormously irritating at this point, truth be told.

"People in their world know better than to nag them at this point, even though Travis’s brother Jason likes to tease him and his team-mates have been taking bets amongst each other about when he’ll do the right thing and get down on one knee.

"But overall, they’re being left alone and not pestered about this stuff, at least not as much as they were up until a few months ago."

The Chiefs will begin their pre-season on August 10 when they do battle with the Arizona Cardinals.
