Travis Kelce recently made headlines when he was asked during a press conference about his plans to propose to Taylor Swift. His sly response, “Wouldn’t You Like To Know,” sparked excitement among fans and fueled speculation about the couple’s future, with some suggesting a surprise proposal at the Super Bowl.

Fans are sharing theories, including one that envisions Kelce proposing on the field after the Chiefs win and announcing his retirement shortly after.
The script theory gained traction in 2023, when a fake "leaked" Super Bowl score went viral, leading many to believe the NFL’s outcomes are predetermined. Along with these fan theories, there’s also speculation about the NFL’s marketing strategies, particularly its efforts to grow its female fanbase by aligning with high-profile personalities like Taylor Swift.

00:05Will there be love in the air, or is this all a part of the alleged NFL script? Let's dive in.
00:11During a recent press conference, Kelce was hit with a question about his relationship with Taylor
00:15Swift, and when the reporter asked Travis if he planned to propose to his girlfriend,
00:20Kelce replied with a sly remark,
00:22Wouldn't you like to know?
00:23Oh, we would like to know, Travis, and so would Swifties and NFL fans everywhere.
00:28Well, except for this ex-user who doesn't seem to care.
00:31Okay, and maybe a few others who clearly just want to get back to watching their football.
00:35But at least this fan is just thinking about the team, stating,
00:39Proposing at the Super Bowl would be a Richard move.
00:41It would take away the attention from the other players and the work they put in to get there.
00:45For everyone else, excitement has begun with theories about the big day rolling in hot.
00:51One fan theorized,
00:52They were already married in a small ceremony, and one day they'll just announce it casually.
00:57While other fans started diving into the NFL script theory that was posted on X, stating,
01:02Just in case you guys haven't read the script yet,
01:05Chiefs win and Travis Kelce proposes to Taylor Swift on the field during the celebration,
01:10shortly after Kelce announces his retirement.
01:13The script theory refers to fans theorizing over the years how the NFL is rigged and the
01:18winners are picked at the beginning of the season. Things like the logo theory,
01:22which links the colors of the Super Bowl to the teams that will play in the Super Bowl that year.
01:27This year's colors display shades of green and red,
01:30and we will see the Eagles take on the Chiefs for the second time in less than five years.
01:34Back in 2023, the script theory really took off when the Eagles faced the Chiefs in Super Bowl 57,
01:40and the final score was allegedly leaked, making its round online
01:44eight days before the game even started, according to Snopes, which states it was a fan-made photo.
01:51But NFL fans believed the script enough that year, as covers reported,
01:55people are betting on the final score of the Super Bowl because of a fake leak of a fake script.
02:01Sportico reports that the NFL has been focusing on growing its female fan base
02:06for the last several years. Ian Trombetta, the NFL's SVP of Social Influencer and
02:11Content Marketing stated, the reality is that there's a full marketing mix at play here as
02:17to how we're bringing in women. There's a lot more at play than just having the Taylor effect,
02:22referring to the pop superstar. So was the reporter's question to Kelsey
02:26just part of the NFL's plan to boost sales? I mean, advertisers are reportedly spending
02:31$8 million for a 30-second ad during Super Bowl 58.
