When Taylor Swift and her American football boyfriend Travis Kelce were spotted wearing matching tennis bracelets last week, it sent their fans into a frenzy.
But for some of her loyal followers, dubbed “Swifties,” it’s just not the right kind of diamond jewelry — and they’re now begging Kelce to “put a ring on it” during next weekend’s Super Bowl.
About 170 million people watched the sporting event held in Las Vegas last year. Thanks to Swifties’ tuning, this figure is expected to be crushed next Sunday.
Her followers are hoping that Kelce, 34, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, will get down on one knee if his team triumphs against the San Francisco 49ers.
Social media is flooded with fans hoping for a proposal. One wrote: “It would be a fairytale ending to a fairytale season if Travis wins the Super Bowl and then proposes to Taylor. Come on Travis – just do it!’

Swift, 34, will perform in Tokyo, Japan, on Saturday night, but will board a private jet and use the 17-hour time difference to arrive in Las Vegas well before next Sunday’s 3 p.m. kickoff
Another said: ‘Who else is in favor of the post-game proposal?’

The Japanese Embassy in the US even released a statement reassuring fans that the singer would be able to make the game in time.
Proposal speculation reached a fever pitch last week after it was revealed that Kelce commissioned the matching diamond-encrusted tennis bracelets with the initials TNT (for Taylor ‘n’ Travis).

During the Super Bowl, Kelce will play in a game that could bring in a record number of viewers
A source who works for the NFL said: “The ratings have been up all year thanks to Swifties tuning in to see Taylor in the stands.
“We expect Super Bowl records to be shattered because of the ‘Taylor effect.’ A proposal would be the icing on the cake and become an iconic Super Bowl moment.”
Sports Illustrated magazine even published a Super Bowl issue with a cartoon of the couple leaving one of Las Vegas’ famous wedding chapels on the cover.
Last year, more than 100,000 couples got married in Las Vegas, dubbed the “wedding capital of the world.”
Sam Joffray, CEO of the Las Vegas Super Bowl Host Committee, said, “Maybe keep all eyes on the wedding chapels?”
