The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will face off again for a whole new chapter of football history in Super Bowl LIX. It is Chiefs vs. Eagles for the second time in three years.
The Chiefs barely made it out alive in Super Bowl LVII, winning 38-35. But whatever, this isn’t about that. Fans on social media are stirring up some scenarios that make you question the NFL.
One X user (formerly known as Twitter) posted:
"Just in case you guys haven’t read the script yet: Chiefs win and Travis Kelce proposes to Taylor Swift on the field during the celebration. Shortly after, Kelce announces his retirement."
While this isn’t how it’s actually going to go down (probably), it sounds more believable than the Eagles winning at this point.
One user chimed in: “It’s all scripted all this point.”
Another user humorously noted:
“this being said: go philly.”
A user added: “Scriptwriters are NOT cooking with this.”
A user mentioned: “I’m sorry but that would genuinely be f****** hilarious I would laugh until i pass out 😂”
A user went on to add: “You forgot the album announcement after she says yes.”
Meanwhile, a user commented: “and when they eventually break up Taylor is going to release a new album "you dropped the ball".”
“Better than Philly winning”, a comment read.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift
Super Bowl LVIII had a sprinkle of rom-com energy, thanks to none other than Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. Fans were busy dissecting a pressing question: Would Travis Kelce propose to Taylor Swift if the Chiefs snagged the win?
Since going public with their relationship in September 2023, Kelce and Swift became the internet’s favorite crossover event.
Sports bros and Swifties, two groups who typically vibe like oil and water, suddenly found themselves united in a shared obsession.
Betting platforms jumped on the buzz and BetUS, for example, offered odds on whether Kelce would pop the question right then and there. In the days leading up to the game, social media went wild.
But Travis Kelce shut down the rumors. When asked about the proposal speculation during a pre-game press conference, he said:
“I’m focused on getting this ring. That’s all my mind’s focused on right now.”
So, no, Travis Kelce didn’t get down on one knee during Super Bowl LVIII.
Context of Super Bowl LIX
Super Bowl LIX is coming on February 9, 2025. Caesars Superdome. New Orleans.
It’s time for a Chiefs vs. Eagles showdown—round two. In Super Bowl LVII in 2023, the Chiefs squeaked out a 38-35 win which was decided by a last-second field goal.
Moreover, two Black quarterbacks—Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts—faced off in a huge way. Bonus action came from Travis and Jason Kelce when their competitive brotherly drama stole the spotlight for multiple weeks.
Now, following a 55-23 beatdown of Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship, the Eagles achieved another Super Bowl appearance. They ran seven rushing touchdowns.
The Chiefs won their AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills with just a 32-29 score after a tough match.
Teams now stand ready for the upcoming competition.
