Pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce have officially announced their engagement after two years of dating. The couple shared the joyous news in a joint Instagram post, playfully stating: "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," alongside a dynamite stick emoji. Swift, who boasts an impressive 280 million followers on Instagram, also included a heart in her story, with her song 'So High School' playing in the background.
In a series of heartfelt photos, Swift is seen embracing Kelce as he kneels before her in a picturesque garden, showcasing her stunning diamond engagement ring. The ring, featuring a large diamond set on a gold band, sparkles brightly in the sunlight. Reports indicate that Kelce was involved in the design of the ring, which is believed to be an Old Mine Brilliant Cut created by designer Kindred Lubeck. Sources suggest that the design process was a collaborative effort between Kelce and the designer.
The couple's engagement comes just weeks after fans speculated about their relationship status. In July, a photo posted by Swift revealed Kelce's phone lockscreen, which featured an image of the couple together, with Swift seemingly holding up her hand, leading to rampant speculation about a possible engagement. Fans had previously noted that the couple attended a wedding invitation addressed to "Taylor and Travis Kelce," further fuelling engagement rumours.
Swift and Kelce's romance began in July 2023, when Kelce attempted to meet Swift at her Eras Tour concert in Missouri. Following his admission on the New Heights podcast about his disappointment at not meeting her, Swift began attending several Kansas City Chiefs games, sparking further speculation about their relationship.
The couple's connection deepened over the months, with Swift even altering the lyrics of her song 'Karma' to reference Kelce directly. Their relationship reached new heights when Swift made her podcast debut on the New Heights podcast, where she revealed details about her upcoming twelfth studio album. In a segment with Kelce and his brother Jason, she showcased a briefcase marked "TS" that contained her new album, much to the excitement of the brothers.
As the news of their engagement spreads, fans are celebrating the love story of the pop icon and the NFL star, marking a new chapter in their relationship.
