Global pop superstar Taylor Swift and American football star Travis Kelce are officially engaged. The couple shared the news Tuesday in a joint Instagram post featuring five photos and the playful caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
The engagement marks the peak of a love story that has captivated millions worldwide since the two began dating during Swift’s Eras Tour in 2023. Their romance played out both on and off the stage from Swift cheering at Kansas City Chiefs games, to Kelce dancing along at her concerts, and even Swift famously singing, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs,” while he watched from the crowd in Argentina.
Details about the proposal remain private, though Swift’s publicist confirmed that her engagement ring is an old mine brilliant-cut diamond. Kelce returned to training in Kansas City just hours after the announcement, as the Chiefs prepare for their season opener in Brazil next week.
Reactions poured in quickly. Chiefs teammate Mike Danna called the news “a blessing,” while Brittany Mahomes, wife of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, wrote: “Two of the most genuine people meet & fall in love. Just so happy for these two.” Even the NFL and baseball’s Cleveland Guardians joined in with congratulatory posts.
