00:00For many, it doesn't matter if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl this coming Sunday.
00:04The real question is, will Travis Kelce propose to Taylor Swift at the big game?
00:09Two reporters brought this up during a press conference on February 3rd.
00:13Kelce's responses? You could definitely call them deflections.
00:17His response to the first was,
00:19"...anyone special. A Super Bowl ring? Yeah, next question."
00:24His response to the second was even more avoidant.
00:27"...back to back, you guys are crazy."
00:29Obviously, the clips have blown up on X and sparked dialogue about what his evasiveness — and
00:33mild annoyance — means in regards to his relationship. To gain better insight, Nicki
00:38Swift reached out to Tracy Brown, CSP body language expert and behavior analyst, who broke
00:44down Kelce's reaction. Reporters seemingly put Kelce on the spot with questions about his proposal
00:49plans, but they didn't get the last laugh. According to Brown, the usually chipper NFL
00:54star pre-planned his curt responses in anticipation. She explained,
00:59"...my thought is that he knows exactly what he's doing here. Planned avoidance. What we
01:03see here is a classic deception technique of repeating a few words and faked confusion."
01:08Further dissecting Kelce's response, she continued,
01:11"...when you repeat the words, that buys time to think about the answer.
01:15The confusion gives the impression he doesn't know more about the topic.
01:18And then he shuts down the conversation and asks for the next question."
01:22In other words, it's all a clever ruse. Of course,
01:26Kelce's non-response doesn't mean that he doesn't have plans to propose to Taylor Swift eventually.
01:31It just means he didn't want to discuss the topic at that particular moment.
01:35For those holding out hope, there have been rumblings that a proposal isn't exactly off the
01:39table, even if it might not be right around the corner. A source shared with Us Weekly in December
01:442024,
01:46"...Taylor does feel like Travis is the one, but jumping in is not her style.
01:50That's just not how she does things. Marriage is a big deal, and she wants it to be forever."
01:55That said, they're still committed to soaking up each other's energy outside of their busy careers.
02:00Another insider said,
02:02"...Taylor and Travis are eager to spend quality time together because that's when
02:06the little nuances about someone's personality and habits come into play.
02:09They will learn so much about each other."
02:12To be clear, Kelce had no problem waxing poetic about his romance with T. Swift
02:16outside of the intrusive proposal questions. First off, Kelce proved that he's still the
02:21biggest Swifty. When asked about his plan to recruit non-Swifty NFL fans,
02:26Kelce responded with the only boyfriend-approved response,
02:29"...Who's not a Swifty?"
02:31In some factions of fandom, that response trumped a proposal. But we digress.
02:36Meanwhile, another clip shows Kelce happily rattling off random commentary about their
02:40relationship, starting with a little praise for her crazy work ethic.
02:44"...I mean, if she's out here being the superstar she is, and never taking no for an answer,
02:49and always working her tail off, you know, I better match that energy."
02:53Then came the hype for her cooking skills.
02:55"...She is quite the cook. I would say...man,
02:59I'm a breakfast guy, man. Her Pop-Tarts are unbelievable, man."
03:02And apparently, they also share a passion for manifestation.
03:05"...We love to manifest things, for sure, and you can't say it's not real because we're here,
03:10right? So, whatever she was doing, I'm sure it'll help."
03:14We think we speak for all Swellsea fans when we say that we hope they manifest
03:18an epic marriage announcement sometime in the near future.
