What gift Taylor Swift REALLY got from boyfriend Travis Kelce at surprise Eras party amid engagement rumors

Taylor Swift got the surprise of her life from her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, after he successfully rounded up her closest friends for an Eras Tour-themed wrap party.

In addition to organizing the party, the 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs found a special way to honor the pop star, also 35, by gifting her the final “22” hat.

The footballer, who was dressed in the same tuxedo and top hat he wore when he joined her on stage at Wembley Stadium in London last summer, sweetly presented her with a black fedora, similar to the one she gave away to one of them. lucky fan during her Red set at every tour stop.

The Cruel Summer hitmaker appeared touched by the gesture as she smiled and looked at him admiringly as he placed the hat on her head.

Kelce made sure every possible detail was present at the bash, from friendship bracelets and a light-up concert to green velvet capes available for guests to don and dance in, like the one she performed in during her Evermore-era set.

Swift’s longtime friend, Ashley Avignone, posted the photo of Swift getting the 22 hat in a sweet Instagram slideshow, which included several new party photos.

“When she thought she was going to a small, quiet dinner, but it was actually a huge surprise party with her friends and family, props included,” Avignone captioned her post.

In photos from the party, which took place last Friday, eagle-eyed fans claimed the hitmaker’s left ring finger looked ‘blurred’, while others suggested she purposely hid her finger from view.

This immediately led to a wild theory that Swift might have purposely “hidden” an engagement ring, with investigators concluding that Swift wasn’t ready to reveal the news that her NFL star boyfriend, 35, had finally popped the question.

A source provided insight into how the rumors inevitably fall across Kelce’s lap, despite his best efforts to stay away from the gossip — and how they contribute to the pressure he faces from his family.

“He reads some of these stories because it’s unavoidable,” the source explained exclusively to DailyMail.com. “And he finds some of it hilarious because he knows how much the world wants this to happen. Sometimes it can be overwhelming for him.”

The Kansas City Chiefs star’s family has been teasing the star about the ongoing rumors, easing the outside pressure while adding some of their own.

The source added: “His family is joking with him about a wedding and pitting him against his brother, whose wife is already delivering more and more babies.

It seems like the couple is getting through it together, finding the humor in the situation.

“Taylor and Travis find it extremely humorous that they have been engaged every day since meeting,” a friend of the singer revealed exclusively to DailyMail.com.

The source continued, “These engagement rumors started from day one and they don’t know how they can even have a public involvement at this point.”

The well-placed source noted that the constant public attention the couple’s relationship receives has all but ensured that their engagement will be a private engagement.

“Travis will have to go to extremes, but it won’t be a public spectacle,” the source added. “They’re both aware that the whole world is so eager for an engagement, and even though Taylor wants a white wedding one day, her friends just feel like people should chill out and let them be a couple.”

The source made it clear that the couple is in no rush to take things to the next level, continuing, “When the time comes, people will know about it. But they will keep some things private and will have elaborate plans to ensure secrecy.

‘They don’t worry about those close to them leaking information, because people who know them respect this.

“When and if Travis lets this happen, it will be for Taylor, and Taylor only.”

Elsewhere, a third insider confirmed that the couple are ‘well informed’ about the level of speculation surrounding the hopes of their engagement, with Swift having far more experience with this level of public scrutiny.

“Travis and Taylor are well versed in pop culture and when it comes to them, they are well informed about it if they don’t find out for themselves,” the insider explains.

The insider continued, “And because of the out-of-control nature of engagement rumors, they both hear about them all the time.

“It’s just a part of their life that they don’t think about because it takes away from how special it will be when it actually happens.”

The insider explained that the couple is definitely on their way to taking this next step, but noted that it could come at a time fans wouldn’t expect.

“Travis has ideas, he would like to be engaged and married to Taylor, he is in love. She is in love with him,” the insider said. “They’re very busy though because her tour just ended and he’s still looking for another Super Bowl.”

The insider continued, “It’s going to happen, but when people least expect it, on their own time and no matter how likely it is, Taylor still wants to be surprised.

“Travis has ideas, but he won’t rush into seeing them through because when he does it, it will be on his own terms and it will be the most special moment of his life.”

Swift has been dating Kelce since the summer of 2023 and they have faced repeated engagement rumors since they went public with their romance.

The couple was forced to put the speculation to rest in October after Monday Night Football commentator Troy Aikman accidentally called Swift Kelce’s “missus” on air.

“It’s not true and the recent erratic and baseless speculation about this couple just proves that the media and overzealous fans don’t know what’s going on with them and shouldn’t make wild assumptions based on zero facts,” she said. a source close to the couple. TMZ.

Talks of a possible proposal reignited earlier this month after a source told Us Weekly that Swift “would love to get engaged” but that the couple is “in no rush.”

Swift wrapped up her record-breaking Eras Tour on December 8 after nearly two years on the road.

Swift celebrated her 35th birthday on Friday, December 13, and Kelce threw a spectacular bash to celebrate her record-breaking concert, which raised $2 billion.
