Odds of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Announcing an Engagement Tilt With Big Moments, According to the Betting Market
Taylor Swift is out here making massive announcements. With a new album on the way, a stable relationship, and plenty of money, everything is looking really good for the iconic pop star. Fans are pretty excited about how things are going for their idol. Still, they all think one thing could make it better. For months, fans have been hoping that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce would announce their engagement. They’ve been looking for clues everywhere. While fans are sure the couple is endgame, betting experts weren’t convinced. The odds of an engagement this year rested far below 50% for a while. All of that has changed now, with the public now believing an engagement is imminent. Let’s see if the bookmakers agree.
Will Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift get engaged this year?
There are several factors that influence bookmakers’ setting of odds, especially on events like engagements. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s odds of getting engaged this year are influenced by what is going on with the couple at the moment, as well as where we are in the year. Kelce and Swift’s recent house hunting, Andy Reed’s comment about the pair’s “future wedding,” and the massive photodump of their summer together have all made bookmakers a bit more optimistic about the chance of Kelce slipping a ring on the pop icon’s finger. The fact that we are two-thirds of the way through the year makes an engagement in 2025 less probable, simply because there isn’t much time left to get the job done. According to Oddspedia, the odds are split, with a close to 50/50 chance.
Public opinion, however, is a bit different. Community members have voted on the likelihood of an engagement, and right now, the public thinks there is a 60% chance that the pair will announce their engagement before the year is up. Community buy-in rose swiftly following Swift’s announcement of her upcoming album on Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce’s podcast, New Heights. Clearly, if Swift is willing to share such big news on her partner’s family project, she must be all in on the relationship.
The relationship timeline and the timing of Swift’s announcement could mean an engagement is coming
Public opinion on their potential engagement is probably influenced by Swift’s album announcement. The couple’s important relationship milestone also factors in. The public first became aware that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were a couple in October 2023. Some fans thought her first appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs’ game was their first official date. Swift dispelled that rumor, though. During an interview with Time, she clarified that they’d been seeing each other for a bit before she took in a game. She said, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
Their actual first date likely took place sometime in August. Swift revealed that she agreed to a first date with Kelce shortly after he put her “on blast” on his podcast for not talking to anyone before or after her Eras Tour dates. The episode dropped in late July. The pair probably linked up in early August. Her album announcement might coincide with the couple’s two-year anniversary.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are entering typical engagement territory based on the amount of time they’ve been together. According to The Knot, roughly 53% of engaged couples date for between two and five years before taking the next step. An additional 30% announce their engagement after dating for less than two years.
