Taylor Swift’s fans are buzzing with excitement over the latest surprise song performance during her Eras Tour. On Friday, July 19, during her third and final night in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, Taylor Swift delivered an acoustic mashup of “Stay, Stay, Stay” and “Paper Rings,” sparking rumors of an engagement to her NFL boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
The acoustic portion of Swift’s show has become a highly anticipated segment for fans, known as Swifties, who eagerly await the surprise song choices. This particular mashup, combining the playful and romantic tones of “Stay, Stay, Stay” with the heartfelt commitment expressed in “Paper Rings,” was interpreted by many as a public declaration of her feelings for Kelce.
An Instagram fan account shared a clip of the performance, and the reactions were immediate and enthusiastic. One fan commented, “SHE SO READY TO GO FOREVER AND SO TRAVIS CODED,” suggesting that the song choices were a nod to her relationship with Kelce. Another fan speculated, “I hope they are secretly engaged!”
On X, formerly known as Twitter, the excitement continued. A fan declared, “‘You’re the one I want in paper rings, in picture frames, in all my dreams, so I think that it’s best if we both stay.’ SHE JUST PROPOSED TO TRAVIS KELCE ON STAGE.” Another user humorously added, “Weird way to propose but I think he will say yes Taylor.”
Speculation about the couple’s engagement grew as more fans chimed in. “They are so engaged, right? I mean, it’s a done deal at this point,” one fan wrote, while another echoed, “Yess confirmed, probably secretly engaged lol.”
Despite the fervent fan theories, neither Taylor Swift nor Travis Kelce has confirmed or denied the engagement rumors. As of now, the couple remains tight-lipped about their relationship status.
Following her performances in Gelsenkirchen, Swift is set to continue her Eras Tour with two shows in Hamburg on July 23 and 24, followed by performances in Munich on July 27 and 28. The tour will conclude in December with three consecutive shows in Vancouver, promising more memorable moments and surprise performances for fans around the world.
Swifties will undoubtedly continue to speculate and analyze every detail of Taylor Swift’s performances and social media posts for clues about her relationship with Kelce. Until any official announcement is made, fans will have to content themselves with the thrilling possibility that their favorite pop superstar might be on the brink of a significant personal milestone.
