 <\/p>\n

Taylor Swift<\/a>\u00a0and Travis Kelce<\/a>\u00a0have announced their engagement after a secret proposal two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

The pop icon and the NFL star, both 35, who have been dating for two years, officially revealed their marriage news\u00a0on Tuesday with a romantic photoshoot showing Kelce proposing in a rose garden.<\/span><\/p>\n

Daily Mail has confirmed Kelce actually got down on one knee earlier this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Swift captioned the post: ‘Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.’<\/span><\/p>\n

The Grammy<\/a> winner also revealed her mammoth diamond engagement ring in the post – the stunning band is an Old Mine Brilliant Cut and appears to be from Kindred Lubeck at Artifex Fine Jewelry. It is worth an estimated\u00a0$675,000 to $1 million.<\/p>\n

The star shared the post on her Instagram, set to the ballad So High School, which is about her enduring love for Kelce.<\/p>\n

The couple went public with their relationship in September 2023 when the singer appeared alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna, at a Kansas<\/a>\u00a0City Chiefs game.<\/p>\n

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have announced their engagement after a secret proposal two weeks ago<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Since that day their romance has captivated the world, with Swift supporting Kelce’s run to two Super Bowls while the NFL star has traveled alongside her around the globe on her wildly successful Eras tour.<\/p>\n

The sports star’s close friend Patrick Mahomes<\/a>\u00a0was quick to congratulate the couple<\/a>, sharing Swift’s post on Instagram with three heart emojis.<\/p>\n

In the wake of the announcement, Swift, Kelce and her hit Love Story began trending.<\/p>\n

Swift\u2019s longtime pals, supermodel ,\u00a0, and Cara Delevingne<\/a> were quick to like the post, showing support from her girl squad.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0Blake Lively<\/a> was absent from the list of likes, continuing a rocky chapter in her friendship with the Shake It Off singer.<\/p>\n

The tension between the former friends blew up after Swift\u2019s name got dragged into Lively\u2019s 2024 legal battle with Justin Baldoni <\/a>– his lawyers claimed Lively tried to ‘coerce’ Swift into a public statement and delete texts \u2014and even though a subpoena was later dropped, the drama clearly left its mark.<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to spot clues that the singer knew what was about to come as she and Kelce donned matching Ralph Lauren outfits.<\/p>\n

Swift wore a $400 striped silk-blend dress by Ralph Lauren for her proposal, which featured a ruched top and halter neckline.<\/p>\n

Swift tied her simple look together with one of her favorite jewelry pieces, which was a gold Santos Demoiselle Watch by Cartier.<\/p>\n

The engagement news comes just almost two weeks after Swift announced her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, on the Kelce brothers’ podcast, New Heights – and gave her most candid interview ever<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The sportsman famously spoke on his podcast about attending one of Swift’s concerts in July 2023 and being disappointed when they couldn’t meet, revealing he’d even brought a friendship bracelet to give to her.<\/p>\n

She compared Kelce to a John Hughes movie character, joking he was outside her window with a boombox yelling:\u00a0<\/span>‘I wanna date you! Do you wanna go on a date with me? I made you a friendship bracelet. Do you wanna date me?’<\/p>\n

Swift said: ‘I was like, if this guy isn’t crazy \u2014 which is a big if \u2014 this is sort of what I’ve been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.’<\/p>\n

Kelce’s brother Jason went on to ask the Fearless hitmaker: ‘How did you know he wasn’t crazy?’ to which she replied: ‘He is crazy, Jason. He’s the good kind of crazy.’<\/p>\n

Even President Donald Trump had warm wishes for the couple, telling reporters during a cabinet meeting at the White House:\u00a0\u00a0‘Well I wish them a lot of luck. I think he’s a great player and a great guy and I think she’s a terrific person so I wish them a lot of luck.’<\/p>\n

Tight end Kelce first made his interest in Swift known in July 2023 when he attended the US leg of Swift\u2019s record-breaking Eras Tour at Arrowhead Stadium, the home of his team, the Kansas<\/a>\u00a0City Chiefs.<\/p>\n

He later revealed on New Heights that he tried and failed to meet Swift after the show.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2018I was disappointed that she doesn\u2019t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,\u2019 he said. \u2018So I was a little butt-hurt I didn\u2019t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n

<\/div>\n

He then explains he\u2019d made a special friendship bracelet \u2013 fans trade them at her shows, referencing a lyric from her track You’re On Your Own Kid <\/span>\u2013 with his number on it, but hadn\u2019t been able to give it to her. \u2018She doesn\u2019t meet anybody, or at least she didn\u2019t want to meet me, so I took it personal,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

In September 2023,\u00a0Swift very publicly confirmed her interest, making a surprise appearance at the Kansas City Chiefs v Chicago Bears game.<\/p>\n

In November 2023, Kelce attended Swift’s\u00a0 Eras Tour concert in\u00a0Buenos Aires, Argentina.<\/p>\n

In the final act of the concert Swift changed the lyrics of her song to: \u2018Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me,\u2019 (previously the lyrics talked of ‘the guy on the screen’) which drove fans wild.<\/p>\n

She then shared her first public kiss with Kelce when she was videoed running backstage after the show and straight into his arms.<\/p>\n

Kelce has been Swift’s most public romance – they are seen in September 2024 at the US Open<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

During a November interview with\u00a0Wall Street Journal Magazine<\/span>, Kelce said of the start of his romance with Swift. \u2018There were definitely people she knew that knew who I was. I had somebody playing Cupid,\u2019 he says.<\/p>\n

He added the duo bonded over their love for family. \u2018Everybody knows I\u2019m a family guy,\u2019 he says. \u2018Her team is her family. Her family does a lot of stuff in terms of the tour, the marketing, being around, so I think she has a lot of those values as well, which is right up my alley.\u2019<\/p>\n

The pair’s romance became extremely public in January 2024 when Swift rushed onto the field to congratulate Kelce after the Chiefs secured their spot in the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

Kelce was heard whispering: \u2018Tay, I\u2019m going to enjoy it with the guys. I love you. So much, it\u2019s not funny.\u2019<\/p>\n

The next month and hours after closing the Asian leg of the Eras Tour, Swift arrived to support Kelce at the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

She and her entourage \u2013 including former BFF Blake Lively, Ice Spice and Lana Del Rey \u2013 cheered the Chiefs on to win the biggest prize in American football.<\/p>\n

Swift rushed onto the field to congratulate Kelce afterwards, before they hit the town for an afterparty (also attended by Swift\u2019s parents).<\/p>\n

Days later,\u00a0Kelce appeared on the Bussin\u2019 With the Boys podcast and talked about the moment he knew he was in love with Swift. \u2018The first game she came to against the Bears, I was like, \u201cI could probably set you up with everything,\u201d\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

\u2018And she just walked through the front door. There was no going down, talking to security \u2026 She was just like, \u201cI want to be around the family and friends and experience this with everybody.”‘<\/p>\n

In September 2024 their romance was rocked when documents\u00a0supposedly outlining a \u2018break-up strategy\u2019 orchestrated by Kelce\u2019s PR team started circulating on the internet, but the footballer\u2019s reps quickly denied them.<\/p>\n

\u2018These documents are entirely false and fabricated and were not created, issued, or authorized by this agency,\u2019 a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

\u2018We have engaged our legal team to initiate proceedings against the individuals or entities responsible for the unlawful and injurious forgery of documents.\u2019<\/p>\n

Days later, the couple put on a united front at the 2024 US Open.<\/p>\n

Swift and Kelce were seen packing on the PDA and singing along to I Believe in a Thing Called Love by The Darkness.<\/p>\n

On September 11 2024, Swift gave her boyfriend a\u00a0shout-out at the VMAs, when she accepted the Video of the Year award.<\/p>\n

\u2018This video seems very sad when you watch it, but it was actually the most fun video to make,\u2019 she says.<\/p>\n

\u2018I would always just hear someone cheering, like, “Whoo!” from across the studio \u2013 that one person was my boyfriend, Travis. Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic, so I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot.\u2019<\/p>\n

In December 2024 friends share pictures of Swift and Kelce dancing and packing on PDA at an Eras Tour wrap party.<\/p>\n

Engagement rumors fly after one snap shows Swift covering her ring finger, but a source told the Daily Mail at the time : \u2018Taylor and Travis find it extremely humorous that they have been engaged every day since they got together.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018They are both aware of the fact that the whole world is so thirsty for them to be engaged and, while Taylor does want a white wedding one day, her friends just feel like people need to chill and let them be a couple.\u2019<\/p>\n

In July 2025\u00a0Kelce made it official, sharing a 13-slide post of his off-season adventures, most also featuring Swift.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re seen on a beach getaway, at an intimate dinner, on a snowy ice skating trip, and at parties with family and friends.<\/p>\n

In a GQ cover story, Kelce speaks candidly about his relationship with Swift. \u2018Whenever I\u2019m with her, it feels like we\u2019re just regular people,\u2019 he says.<\/p>\n

\u2018When there is not a camera on us, we\u2019re just two people that are in love. It can be perceived as something else because of how much it is talked about and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out, but I would say that… it happened very organically, even though from a media standpoint it was being tracked. It still happened very organically.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Nothing I\u2019ve ever done has been a controlled, organized process. When I say it was so organic, we fell in love just based off the people we were sitting in a room together with. We are two fun-loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are. We share all those values. It kind of just took the f*** off.\u2019<\/p>\n
