Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is no stranger to bold declarations, both on and off the field. Back in January 2019, during an interview with Dan Patrick, Kelce's unfiltered candor stole the spotlight.
Fresh off a gut-wrenching AFC Championship loss to the New England Patriots, Kelce faced an intriguing hypothetical: if given a choice, would he prefer an engagement ring or a Super Bowl ring?
"Right now, I'm looking at that Super Bowl ring," Kelce responded without missing a beat, his competitive spirit unmistakable. At the time, Kelce had yet to secure the coveted championship ring, and his Chiefs were still striving to dominate under their newly minted quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.

Would Travis change his ring choice for Taylor?
Fast forward to today, and Kelce's trophy case includes three Super Bowl rings. But his personal life has taken an equally headline-grabbing turn. Currently dating global pop sensation Taylor Swift, fans can't help but speculate: would Kelce's answer be different now?
Kelce's 2019 interview also delved into his love life, sparked by the mention of his reality show Catching Kelce. The show's winner, Maya Benberry, was once the object of his affections, but their relationship fizzled by 2017.
Kelce then embarked on a high-profile romance with social media influencer and sports journalist Kayla Nicole, declaring at the time, "I am in love. I have found love. Yes, love has found me."
No sign of an engagement ring... yet
However, that chapter has since closed, and Kelce has found a new partner in Swift. The couple has been making waves since mid-2023, with rumors swirling about a possible engagement-or even wedding bells.
Given Kelce's 2019 priorities, fans are left wondering if he's ready to trade in thoughts of a fourth Super Bowl ring for a diamond engagement ring. And what would Swift, known for her fiercely independent persona, think of his earlier stance?
While neither Kelce nor Swift has confirmed any plans to tie the knot, their legions of fans eagerly await the next chapter in this power couple's story. Whether it's another championship run or a trip down the aisle, one thing's certain: the world will be watching.
