LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Travis Kelce admits he has been thinking about
a ring, the Super Bowl variety he hopes to win on Sunday when his
Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers and not the
engagement one for girlfriend Taylor Swift that has social media
buzzing.
Speculation Kelce might get down on one knee at centre field after
the Super Bowl and pop the question to his pop superstar girlfriend
has had Swift's army of fans known as 'Swifties' in a tither and
hardcore football fans scratching their heads.
One jeweler is ready to hand over a $1 million engagement ring if
Kelce does decide to propose but the only ring he is focused on is
one he has to earn on the field.
"I'm hoping I get this ring (Super Bowl) on Sunday. I know that.
Man," Kelce told reporters on Wednesday.
Of course if Kelce is to propose then Swift would have to be at
Allegiant Stadium on Sunday and that remains a big question mark
with the pop icon performing a concert on Saturday in Tokyo.
Kelce was not giving anything away on Wednesday and seemed genuinely
confused about where Swift was exactly as her Eras Tour winds its
way through Asia.
"She's focused on entertaining the, uh, the crowd out in, I think
it's Singapore right now, or I think that's in a few weeks," fumbled
the All-Pro tight end. "But I know she's out in Japan, Tokyo,
maybe."
Kelce will have to grab a little bling of his own on Sunday if he is
keep pace with Swift, who last Sunday scooped the Grammy award for
album of the year for an unprecedented fourth time.
Gambling sites are getting in on the action as well, posting a
number of Swift prop bets -- side wagers unrelated to the game --
including will she or won't she make it to the Super Bowl on time.

"These bets are crazy," laughed Kelce. "She's just
working on entertaining them, making sure she's, she's ready for her
performances and everything.
"The Super Bowl will worry about if she can make it."
Kelce has taken the romance hysteria in his stride and good humor
acknowledging that his celebrity level has sky rocketed since he
began dating the planet's hottest entertainer.
"Being worldwide is way different than just being famous in Kansas
City," acknowledged Kelce. "You just got to embrace it.
"The more you fight it, the more pissed off you might get or more
negative you might start thinking.
"I'm a guy that likes to think about things in a positive way and
you know what, for a week, why not go through all this craziness and
showcase my story, my family and everybody that has got me to this
point."
