The pop superstar said yes to the proposal after the Kansas City Chiefs superstar popped the question.
Taylor Swift announced her engagement to Travis Kelce on Instagram Tuesday afternoon, sharing a carousel of photos taken in a beautiful garden filled with white flowers. She captioned it, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
The announcement came just over a week before the NFL season kicks off. While she turned off comments on the post, fans took to X to gush over the stunning photos, marveling at the flowers and the ring, with many saying it was so perfectly “Taylor Swift.”
The excitement was palpable, with fans expressing disbelief and joy over the news.
One fan said they “hysterically cried” upon hearing about Taylor Swift’s engagement, expressing how incredibly happy they were for her.
Kelce’s teammates also shared in the excitement, with Patrick Mahomes posting a message on social media to celebrate the news.
Patrick Mahomes shared Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement announcement on his Instagram Story, adding three heart emojis and playing Swift’s song So High School in the background. His wife, Brittany Mahomes, also posted a heartfelt message, calling them “two of the most genuine people” and expressing her happiness for the couple.
Taylor Swift posted beautiful photos of the proposal on Instagram, showing the couple embracing in a flower-filled grove and flaunting a huge diamond ring. Her post gained over a million likes within just 10 minutes.
Rumors of the engagement had been swirling for months before Kelce finally popped the question. He reportedly had been considering diamond rings worth hundreds of thousands. The close-up shots revealed a large cushion-cut diamond almost as wide as Swift’s finger, set on a gold band.
For the proposal, Swift wore a Polo Ralph Lauren dress, Louis Vuitton shoes, and a Cartier watch, while Kelce kept it casual in brown loafers, grey shorts, and a black polo.
The engagement rumors around Travis Kelce’s proposal grew as he spent much of his offseason by Taylor Swift’s side. The US Sun revealed last year that Kelce was aiming to get engaged sooner rather than later.
The couple has been dating for over 18 months and have been clearly smitten since they first met. Kelce frequently attended Swift’s worldwide Eras Tour shows, while she often traveled across the U.S. to watch him play for the Chiefs. As their relationship progressed, Swift even moved to Nashville full-time.
Though Swift has had several high-profile relationships in the past, Kelce quickly captured her heart. In GQ’s September cover story, Kelce expressed how genuine their connection is, saying, “Whenever I’m with her, it just feels like we’re regular people. When there is not a camera on us, we’re just two people that are in love.”
