Almost a decade ago, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce played a game of “Kiss, Marry, Kill” in a playful interview — and fans are now seeing it in a whole new light.
Back then, he faced a tough choice between pop icons Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Ariana Grande. Little did he know that one day, he would propose to Taylor in a romantic garden in Lee’s Summit, Missouri.
The clip, from a 2016 AfterBuzz TV interview, has resurfaced following Travis and Taylor’s engagement announcement, and fans are having a field day with the old footage.
The Game That Had Fans Talking
During the game, Travis struggled with the impossible decisions. “Damn, that’s messed up.
I don’t wanna kill any of them,” he said. But eventually, he chose to “kill” Ariana Grande with a laugh, give Taylor a peck on the lips, and marry Katy Perry.
“Kill Ariana, unfortunately. Love you, but you’re gone,” he joked.
Then, without skipping a beat, he added: “Taylor to kiss and… what was the last one? Katy Perry would be to marry.”
Fans immediately noticed the irony once the engagement was announced. “He been in love with her for so long.
He [was] manifesting,” one fan commented online. Another joked, “PLAY THIS AT THE WEDDING.”
Katy Perry and Taylor Swift’s Past Tensions
Of course, Travis’s choice may have had some complications considering Katy and Taylor’s history.
The two pop stars had a widely publicized feud that inspired Taylor’s 2015 hit “Bad Blood,” which stemmed from a dispute over backup dancers and tour conflicts.
But time appears to have healed old wounds. Earlier this year, Katy praised Taylor’s Sydney concert and described their catch-up as “so lovely,” proving that former rivals can indeed move past their drama.
The Engagement Announcement
Travis and Taylor confirmed their engagement last week with a joint Instagram post, two weeks after Travis secretly proposed.
The couple, who have been dating for two years, shared romantic engagement photos taken in a rose garden — a picturesque setting that captured the moment perfectly.
The caption read: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” followed by a dynamite emoji, hinting at their playful “TnT” nickname.
Fans Get a Close-Up
The newly engaged couple made a public appearance for the first time after the announcement at a college football game in Kansas City on August 28.
Taylor proudly showed off her stunning engagement ring — reportedly worth between $700,000 and $1,000,000 — while sipping a drink, giving fans a clear view of the dazzling diamond.
A Love Story in the Making
From playful games on TV nearly a decade ago to a real-life engagement, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s romance has captured the public imagination.
Fans are delighted to see the NFL star and pop superstar take their love story to the next level — proving that sometimes, playful choices can hint at the future in the most unexpected ways.
