Singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs Star Travis Kelce Engaged

Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce are engaged after two years of dating.

The couple announced the news in a joint Instagram post today, sharing a carousel of photos of the engagement with the caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

The photos show Kelce, 35, down on one knee proposing to Swift, also 35, in a garden surrounded by pink and white roses.

The singer-songwriter also displayed a close-up of her ring, which has an old mine-cut diamond sitting on a gold bezel setting.

The couple made headlines in 2023 when Swift was seen alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna, cheering him on at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City for the Chiefs–Bears game.

Prior to officially dating, the athlete said he’d had Swift on his radar for quite some time, explaining his failed plan to give her his phone number via a friendship bracelet during her “Eras Tour” concert she had at that very same stadium.

“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Travis said during an episode of his New Heights podcast alongside brother Jason Kelce at the time.

“So I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”

It was that podcast that led to Swift getting in contact with Kelce directly, and the rest is history.

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast,” she told TIME during their December’s Person of the Year cover story.

“We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other,” she added.

Their engagement comes two weeks after Swift announced her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” where she joined her now-fiancé on his podcast for the first time to share the news.

According to Guinness World Records, she broke the record for the most concurrent views for a podcast on YouTube with a total of 1.3 million people simultaneously tuning in for the Aug. 13 debut.

“This album is about what was going on behind the scenes of my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant,” she said of the album.

“It just comes from the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life, and so that effervescence has come through on this record. And, like you said, bangers.”
