Taylor Swift has shown her support for Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld after the couple announced their engagement on social media this week. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen popped the question to Hailee Steinfeld, the acclaimed actress and singer, whom he has been dating for nearly 18 months.
The romantic proposal took place last Friday, with Allen getting down on one knee in a stunning coastal setting, creating a picture-perfect moment as he asked Steinfeld to marry him.
The couple shared their exciting news with the world a week later, both posting the same beautiful photo of the proposal on Instagram. The image captured the joy of the moment, with Allen kneeling before Steinfeld against a backdrop of blue skies and waves. Their joint post quickly gained traction, receiving nearly two million likes at the time of writing, as fans and friends rushed to congratulate them on their special moment.
Among those who showed their support was none other than pop superstar Taylor Swift. Known for her own high-profile relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce, Swift dropped a like on Allen and Steinfeld’s engagement post, subtly offering her congratulations to the newly engaged couple. Swift’s fans were quick to notice her quiet show of support, adding a touch of celebrity magic to the couple’s already shining moment.
Swift’s boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, had already extended his congratulations as well. Kelce not only liked the post but also left a comment for his fellow NFL star and his fiancée. “Congratulations,” Kelce wrote, adding applauding and raised-hands emojis to celebrate the occasion.
Kelce’s comment did not go unnoticed by the Swifties, who were quick to react to his well-wishes. In typical fashion, Taylor Swift’s devoted fans swarmed Kelce’s message with replies, with many of them making the same playful suggestion—that Kelce would be the next NFL star to propose.
“You next,” read several responses, which collectively garnered over 2,500 likes. Other fans added comments like, “I see you,” and “Trav, your move,” playfully urging Kelce to take the next step in his own relationship with Swift. Another user humorously chimed in, “You wish that was you huh,” implying that Kelce might be getting ready to pop the question to the 14-time Grammy Award winner.
Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld were first linked in May 2023, not long after Allen’s split from his longtime girlfriend Brittany Williams. The pair made headlines when they were spotted together in New York City, marking the beginning of their public romance.
Since then, they have enjoyed trips to destinations like Mexico and attended high-profile events such as Paris Fashion Week. However, for the most part, they have chosen to keep their relationship relatively low-key, avoiding too much attention from the media.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating for over a year, with Swift making their relationship public when she attended a Kansas City Chiefs game for the first time in September 2023. Since then, the couple has become a fan favorite, with Swift regularly appearing at Chiefs games to cheer on her boyfriend.
Just this past Friday, she was at Arrowhead Stadium once again, where she watched Kelce and the Chiefs secure a narrow 19-17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Swift arrived at Arrowhead ahead of the Week 13 matchup in her signature red-themed outfit, showing her support for the Chiefs. She was seen walking to the VIP suites alongside Kelce’s mom, Donna, just days after spending a loved-up Thanksgiving with her boyfriend.
This marked Swift’s sixth appearance in the VIP suite at Arrowhead during the 2024 season, solidifying her role as one of Kelce’s most enthusiastic supporters.
While Allen and Steinfeld have kept much of their relationship out of the spotlight, Kelce and Swift have embraced their status as one of the NFL’s favorite celebrity couples, with Swifties and football fans alike eagerly following their every move.
With Allen and Steinfeld now engaged and Swift’s fans urging Kelce to follow suit, it seems the NFL and the entertainment world are blending in ways that are as romantic as they are entertaining.
Only time will tell if Kelce decides to take the plunge and make Swift the next pop superstar to get a proposal from an NFL star.
