As an NFL insider, Adam Schefter has been known for breaking all sorts of news from the biggest league in the world. But his latest nugget of information actually might regard the biggest pop star in the world.
With the kickoff to the new NFL season just over a week away, Schefter may have dropped a massive hint regarding the relationship between the Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce and global music sensation Taylor Swift — did the superstar tight end purchase an engagement ring?
During an appearance on ESPN, Schefter jokingly questioned host Laura Rutledge when she reacted to news about Kelce buying a stake in a racehorse named Swift Delivery by quipping that he hadn’t bought a ring yet.
“Wait, I have a question,” he said. “Laura, how do you know that Travis Kelce didn’t buy an engagement ring?”
“I don’t know. Do you know? Are you gonna break some big news here?” Rutledge replied.

Scheftler paused before saying with a coy look: “I’m just saying that you said he didn’t buy an engagement ring and I’m wondering how you have that information.”
That’s when co-host and former player Booger McFarland stepped in.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” McFarland began. “The awkward silence right there speaks volumes. Schefty, do you know something?
“America wants to know.”
Schefter kept up the coy act, remaining tight-lipped if he knows anything about the subject.
“All I did was ask a question about how Laura knew he hasn’t bought an engagement ring,” Schefter said. “That’s all I was doing.”
The exchange sparked a predictable frenzy online with fans trying to pry the truth out of Schefter.
“Schefter *trying* to maintain a poker face after asking THE question,” one user on X replied.

“Asking what the people want to know so did he?!!!” a third posted.
Marriage speculation has swirled around the couple, who have been dating for about a year.
