Taylor Swift Engagement Overturned As Referee Determines Travis Kelce's Knee Didn't Touch The Ground

U.S. — Taylor Swift's love story came to an abrupt end after a referee jumped out of the bushes following her engagement to football player Travis Kelce and overturned the proposal.

The lovestruck couple reportedly jumped when the ref loudly blew his whistle and gestured wildly from the bushes.

"The player's knee did not make full contact with the ground. This engagement is null and void," the referee said, signaling the call with a professional hand gesture. "The ring must be removed from Taylor Swift's finger and returned to its case. Repeat 4th-down."

The ruling was challenged but upheld after subsequent viewing of the footage. "After reviewing the footage, the ruling on knee contact stands. This proposal is a false start, and the couple is now broken up."

Travis Kelce reportedly shrugged off the penalty, signaling he would try again once he regains possession of the relationship.

At publishing time, the engagement was back on after the Kansas City Chiefs slipped a $20 bill to the ref.

I’ll guess the over/under on their marriage is 3.5 years.

If I were Travis, I’d punt for better field position.

Most speculate that this may be Travis’ last year playing football. Wonder what he will do after.

Maybe, but he seems more ambitious and energized than that :).
