Meet the NFL WAG Turned Romance Novelist Who May Have Manifested a Travis Kelce–Taylor Swift Super Bowl

OK, so the question of the year: Do you think Taylor Swift is going to the Super Bowl?

There’s no way she’s not going. There’s no way. Seeing them on the field after this last game was maybe the best thing I’ve seen on television. It was so good. You just get wrapped up in it. There’s no way that she was in that environment, seeing them go to the Super Bowl and if she can make it—which I think everybody has done the math and everybody’s like there’s time, she can make it—yeah, there’s no way she’s not, if she wanted to go. She went to a game in Buffalo, New York in the middle of winter, she is going to the Super Bowl.

And taking the field after if they win?

Yeah, going on the field after. I’m very lucky to have the experience of doing it. It was one of the coolest, most surreal things, like all these pictures of my kids playing in the confetti, and holding the newspaper, right? The merch is already there. It is so much fun. I mean, they seem to be pretty in love, so she’s not going to skip out on that. She doesn’t care what other people are thinking, she’s going to be down there supporting them and if they win, holding up the trophy.

And we’re all invested in her being invested, too.

I feel like the world is such like a dumpster fire sometimes that we’re all like, let’s hyper-focus on these small little pockets of joy, right? Pour all of our energy into it and it’s okay to be clinging on to it. Every week, I’m just like, is she there? Again, not to be like a creep, I want the relationship to go however they need it to go but I’m like, please don’t break up ever.

Please keep this going. For all our sakes.

I want them to get engaged. I mean, did you see the bracelet? That is what has made it so glamorous. It started with a little beaded friendship bracelet that he made her and then he got a custom-made gold and diamond friendship bracelet with their initials. I mean, just come on. It’s too much. It’s a movie.

Do you think he’s really that smooth? Does he come up with this stuff himself?

I think he is! I mean, again, the suits. You could see it in how he presents himself as like, he’s just like, so like smooth and charming that I think he knows how to do it. I think she’s had a lot [of attention] but she [must feel like], oh, but this feels different. Everybody loves me, but like being the center of his world probably feels even more shiny.

It’s been so fun to watch and I hope they get engaged and we get a nice Kansas City wedding.

The prop bets are flying, and one of them is whether they would get engaged this weekend if the Chiefs win. What do you think?

I think it’s purely a Super Bowl moment. What I liked is that he’s like, I’m not gonna talk about her. I still think they respect some of the [personal] moments enough, right? They wouldn’t let that be a thing. Maybe she’ll show up at her concerts over the summer and have a giant rock on her finger.
