Swiftie vs. Kelce: The Engagement That Left Bookies Crying in Their Own Lyric Books

Hold your friendship bracelets—Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially engaged. The pop‑icon and the gridiron hero dropped the bombshell via Instagram today. Swift’s caption? “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” and yes—I’ll leave it to you to decide who’s grading the romance essay here.

Cue the collective sigh of relief across the internet… and the wails of gamblers who were so sure this was a bet against reality. Remember those odds favoring breakup before betrothal? Those went up in confetti.

How Long will this Last

• Just weeks earlier, betting markets had them even money (50/50) to get engaged before 2026.

• A few months before that, the “no engagement” side still looked safer: placing $125 would net you $100 if nothing happened—a -125 favorite.

Put simply: doubters got left at the altar of irony.

ODDS FOR PROP BET FUTURES

While the official prop bet odds can be found over with our friends at Bovada - we will still go out on a limb and make some odd predictions ourselves.

• Travis & Taylor (Henceforth Known as Traylor or Traylor Trash to their Haters) will literally get married as a Super Bowl Halftime Show

  • We'll give this 100-1 odds. Very unlikely, but not completely impossible and still better than the halftime show with Paul McCartney post boobgate.

• Jason Kelce will remove his shirt during the ceremony

  • 10-1 - honestly this will probably happen.

• Kanye West Will Show Up to Object to the Union

  • 500-1 - now this is a true wildcard bet that could payoff huge. Kanye will let Taylor and Travis finish their wedding, but he will just have to let everyone know that Beyonce and Jay-Z had one of the best weddings of ALL TIME.

• Olivia Rodrigo is the Wedding Band

  • 30-1 odds here. Olivia Rodrigo is by far the superior pop star in our books, but she does owe a lot of success to Taylor so maybe some favor will be called in here.

• Divorce within the First Year

  • 20-1 because Hollywood marriages rarely work but we are still rooting for Taylor and Travis. So long as it doesn't make the quality of her albums drop in which case she better call up that attorney.

So if you bet on no engagement happening in 2025 you are now out big bucks and have to spend the football season deciding whether or not you think Travis is going to light up the scoreboard due to the happiness or if the wedding plans will make him more distracted than Patrick Mahomes when he has to play against Max Crosby. Hopefully you didn't also place a big bet on a new album not being revealed. The Life of a Showgirl may not be for you.

Remember, our odds are not real but if you're interested in actual prop bets head on over to Bovada Casino now. It's safe, secure, legal, and filled with enough variety for any gambler!
