According to a Deuxmoi source, the Kansas City Chiefs star has shown interest in securing a full box, typically reserved for VIPs and celebrities. With room for six, fans can’t help but wonder who the invite list includes—and more importantly, why now?

The fact that this isn’t just a pair of tickets but a full, private box has some Swifties convinced this may be more than just a fun day at the races. The exclusivity of the setting, the electric energy of the Derby, and the buzz surrounding one of the most-watched couples in America—it all sounds like the perfect backdrop for a proposal.
