Make Middle-Aged Singers Great Again!
Travis Kelce wasn’t messing around when he knelt to the ground and pulled out a diamond ring for his new fiancée, Taylor Swift.
The pop superstar, 35, gave fans an up-close look at her stunning engagement ring Tuesday when she announced the Chiefs tight end, also 35, had popped the question after two years of dating.
The dazzling piece features an old mine brilliant-cut diamond set on a gold band, according to Page Six, which noted the ring was crafted by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry with input from Kelce himself.
Kelce proposed to Swift in a dreamy garden setting, complete with a floral arch and colorful blooms. . . .
First linked in 2023, Kelce famously made headlines in July of that year when he expressed interest in Swift on his “New Heights” podcast after failing to pass along a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it during an Eras Tour stop in Kansas City.
The 14-time Grammy winner, who attended her first Chiefs game two months after Kelce shot his shot, said on “New Heights” this month that she’s grateful the three-time Super Bowl champ “decided to use [the show] as his personal dating app two years ago,” as the pair ended up together.
Look, I’m not a “Swiftie,” and take a dim view of her songwriting oeuvre — date a guy, dump a guy, turn it into a revenge song — and considering how many guys she’s done this with, it’s difficult for me to imagine a “happily-ever-after” finale for the future Mrs. Kelce. Taylor’s been passed around more than a joint at a Grateful Dead concert. She’s been used as a pump-and-dump by Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhall and a long list of other guys that we know about, and who can estimate how many secret hookups she’s had with various drummers, guitarists, backup dancers, etc., over the years? There were even rumors of a lesbian affair with model Cara Delevingne a few years ago, but never mind that.
My point is, when a woman is 35 years old with a track record of busted relationships with more than a dozen previous boyfriends, what does one say to the fellow who decides she’s wife material? “Good luck”?
Man, if you had good luck you never would have ended up with her. Imagine being Taylor Swift’s husband. Forget to take out the garbage? Bang, there’s her new hit song denouncing you as a lazy bum.
No, this will not end well for Travis Kelce, although we can expect Taylor to get three or four new albums’ worth of songs out of it. I’ve warned my sons, “Never date a girl who dated a Jonas brother.”
