Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, NFL star tight end Travis Kelce, is in a position to be the quarterback’s best asset, not his competition.

But that changed over the weekend when Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen announced his engagement to pop star and actress Hailee Steinfeld, making them football’s newest dynamic duo.

Kelce innocently congratulated the couple in the comments section of their joint Instagram post, prompting users to speculate when he would get down on his knees for Swift.

Kelce’s “Congratulations!!!” The comment, which generated over 11,000 likes, also generated nearly 150 comments, many of which suggested that Kelce would be the “next” to propose.

“Your move bro,” one user wrote. “You’re next,” several people commented. “Okay, are you next? The world is looking forward to this…” one person asked. “The couple in this picture is the Temu version of you and your future wife @taylorswift,” joked another.

Others marveled at the insanity of the comments section, including one ardent defender who wrote: “He should be able to congratulate his friend without people acting crazy,” and later: “Very strange and intrusive, stop it.” “To bother him, he just congratulated his friend.”

A representative for Kelce did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Swift, who is friends with Steinfeld, also liked the post.

Swift made her relationship with Kelce public in September 2023 after the “Bad Blood” singer attended one of his games at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. “When I went to that first game, we were a couple,” she told TIME about how their relationship progressed. “I think some people think they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to start a first date hard.”

Swift was featured on camera more than a dozen times during this game and continued to be seen frequently at all subsequent events in which she attended.

Near the end of her Eras tour, Swift was joined by her father, Scott, and Kelce’s mother, Donna, to watch the Chiefs beat the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday.

Since the couple started dating, there have been rumors that the relationship was for publicity purposes. Although Kansas City Chiefs president Mark Donovan debunked that narrative in late November.

“I’d like to say it was a marketing strategy, but it’s an authentic relationship and we’re lucky to have it and it’s only been good for us,” he continued CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “I think the best thing I can say about the entire relationship … and the impact it has had on us is that Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan. And that’s important to our fans and our fan base,” and it’s important to us, and we’ve tried to respect that.
