Stephen A. Smith Thinks Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Will Get Married This Year: 'Hard to Turn Down'

   

Stephen A. Smith hears wedding bells for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce in 2025.

Smith, 57, made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on March 5, where the sports analyst reacted to one of Fallon's "hot take" predictions for the rest of the year.

"I'm scared to get this wrong," Smith said when the "hot take generator" suggested that Swift and Kelce, both 35, will tie the knot in 2025.

"Travis Kelce, that's my dog," Smith said of the Chiefs star. "A lot of ladies love Travis Kelce," he continued, "Travis Kelce has loved a lot of ladies. But Taylor Swift is a different animal."

Smith then shared the reason he thinks the superstar couple will get married this year: "She looks good, she's incredibly talented and she's worth about a billion."

Smith joked that Swift is a "three headed monster that's hard to turn down."

Smith's prediction comes just after Kelce confirmed he'll return to the Chiefs for another season following a disappointing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2025 Super Bowl. "The biggest thing is that I f---ing love playing the game of football. I love playing,” Kelce said of his decision on Wednesday's episode of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.

“I still think I can play it at a high level, and possibly at a higher level than I did last year.” 

A month before the Super Bowl, Kelce appeared on Smith's The Stephen A. Smith Show and talked about how "happy" he is with Swift.

“I'm enjoying all aspects of life. Me and Taylor are happy,” Kelce said on Wednesday, Jan. 15. "I couldn't be happier to have that confidence and that comfort off the field and all the support I could ever ask for in the stadium," Kelce continued.
