Are wedding bells ringing for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce? Here's what Jessica Benson had to say
Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift engagement rumors (Getty Images) Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have once again ignited a frenzy online. The latest buzz? A photo of Swift used as the lock screen wallpaper on Kelce's phone—one that has fans decoding every pixel for signs of a secret engagement. What began as a simple Instagram post has quickly snowballed into something far more speculative, thanks to some eagle-eyed followers and a few intriguing details. Taylor Swift's ring gesture on Travis Kelce's lock screen sparks wild engagement speculation When Kelce recently posted a carousel of images featuring intimate moments with Swift, the internet went to work. Swifties were quick to hone in on one photo in particular—Kelce's phone lying casually on a table, revealing his lock screen. The image in question showed Swift making a peculiar hand gesture. While seemingly harmless to the casual observer, fans and media personalities saw more. Jessica Benson from Grind City Media fueled the flames by analyzing the shot in forensic fashion. 'If you were to zoom in on the phone that is sitting on this table… You can see the lock screen is a photo. And what does it look like Taylor Swift is doing in that photo on that lock screen? She's either fanning herself and doing the single-ladies dance, or she's showing off an engagement ring,' she explained. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Taman Serai Setia: SUV Sale, Click Here to See Prices Luxury SUV Deals | Search Ads Search Now Undo Memphis Scandal, NFL Training Camp, Are Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Engaged? | Jessica Benson Show Benson didn't stop there. She pointed to another image of the couple, this time donning matching 'Captain' and 'First Mate' hats aboard a luxury boat. 'To me, this picture of them, in these little nautical hats… This looks like an engagement party photo,' she said, adding that it closely resembled several engagement parties she had attended.

Since going public in 2023, they've become a power couple in every sense—balancing sold-out stadium tours and NFL dominance. Yet, for all the attention they command, Swift and Kelce have maintained an admirable level of discretion. With Kelce preparing for what could be a defining 13th NFL season, and Swift wrapping up her latest global tour, the couple appears content sharing glimpses of their life together—while keeping the deeper chapters to themselves. For now, the ring remains just a fan theory. But as Swifties know all too well, sometimes the best love stories are the ones told in subtle moments. FAQs: 1. When did Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift start dating? Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift began dating in September 2023. 2. How did Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift meet?
