The couple has fueled engagement speculation with several public appearances.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are not currently planning a wedding despite engagement speculation.
Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, was put on the spot during a comedy sketch at the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend charity event in Kansas City on June 1, 2024. Jason Sudeikis, known for his role in Ted Lasso and his past SNL appearances, asked Kelce about making an 'honest woman' out of Taylor Swift during the sketch. Kelce has been dating Swift since summer 2023 and the couple has fueled engagement speculation throughout the spring with several public appearances.
Despite nearly reaching their first anniversary, Kelce and Swift are not currently planning a wedding. A source told Us Weekly in May that Kelce does care 'very deeply' about Swift but is not ready to propose yet. Another source previously noted that the couple still has much to learn about each other before walking down the aisle.
Sudeikis' question came during a sketch where he and fellow comedians Robert Smigel and George Wendt joked about Kelce's relationship with Swift, as well as his NFL career and team commitments. The skit was reminiscent of an old SNL favorite featuring Chris Farley, Sudeikis, Smigel, and Wendt.
The Big Slick Celebrity Weekend charity event is held annually to raise funds for Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.

The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy and a dichotomous depiction. The appeal to authority occurs when the author cites Jason Sudeikis' opinion on when Travis Kelce should propose to Taylor Swift, as if his opinion holds any relevance or expertise on the matter. The dichotomous depiction is found in the statement 'She just got to Kansas City, boys. Jesus!', implying that Swift either needs to commit to the city or leave Kelce alone, presenting a false choice between those two options.
CNN — Fans of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce curious about where the couple’s relationship is headed can thank Jason Sudeikis for trying to get them closer to some answers.
Also in costume, with a false mustache dangling off his top lip, Sudeikis interrupted to ask Kelce a tough question about a topic he definitely had no plans to discuss.
The remark seemingly referred to a recent controversial commencement speech made by Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, in which he said he would venture to guess that the majority of women are 'most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world,' rather than their careers.
