Pop singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce have announced their official engagement. The joyous news was shared via a joint Instagram post on Tuesday.
Travis Kelce’s father, Ed Kelce, revealed that his son proposed to the internationally acclaimed singer nearly two weeks ago. The setting was a picturesque garden in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, before an evening dinner outing.
The engagement announcement included several photos capturing the moment, with images of the couple amidst a blooming garden, and Kelce proposing on one knee. Notably, Swift’s engagement ring, an old-mine brilliant cut diamond, was designed by Kelce in collaboration with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry in New York City.
The engagement follows Swift’s recent appearance on Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, co-hosted with his brother and retired NFL star, Jason Kelce. During this episode, Swift not only announced her forthcoming 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” but also spoke candidly about her relationship with Travis Kelce.
The couple’s romantic entanglement has been public knowledge since 2023. Speculation about their relationship first sparked in September of that year when Swift attended her first Kansas City football game and was noticed in the company of Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce.
Travis Kelce had, during a July 2023 podcast episode, expressed an interest in meeting Swift after one of her Eras Tour shows at Arrowhead Stadium. Although this initial attempt was unsuccessful, Kelce confirmed their relationship in an interview with WSJ. Magazine in November 2023.
Kelce praised Swift’s resilience in the face of constant scrutiny. He confessed that Swift’s intelligence had a profound impact on him, signifying the depth of their bond. Swift, in her 2023 TIME Person of the Year interview, noted that their relationship started after Kelce mentioned her on his podcast.
