Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce officially announce their engagement

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially engaged, with the couple announcing the happy news in a joint post on Instagram.

The couple, both 35, posted several photos from Kelce’s proposal to Swift, writing in the caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married ”  Kelce designed Swift’s engagement ring with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry, described as an “Old Mine brilliant cut.” The photos posted to Instagram show Travis down on one knee in an ethereal garden laden in pink and white roses, with other pictures showing the couple embracing, as well as a close-up look of the engagement ring.

Swift and Kelce have been dating since 2023; they kept their relationship private for a significant amount of time before Swift’s first public appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs game in September 2023, where she was seen with Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce.

The engagement comes weeks after Swift made her debut on Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, retired NFL star Jason Kelce.  During the podcast Swift announced her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” would be released on October 3rd, in addition to the couple speaking about their relationship.
