NEW YORK — Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce have announced their engagement. The couple, who have been dating since 2023, shared the news on Tuesday in a joint post on Instagram, according to multiple news outlets, including People.com and CBS News.
The announcement was made with a series of photos, including one showing Kelce on one knee in what appears to be a floral-filled garden. Another photo provided a close-up view of the engagement ring, which Page Six reported was designed by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry. The couple captioned the post with a playful phrase, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨.”
While the exact time and location of the proposal were not immediately disclosed, the announcement quickly gained traction on social media. The Los Angeles Times noted that the engagement comes after months of public speculation about the future of their highly publicized relationship. A source told Entertainment Tonight over a year ago that a proposal was likely to happen sooner rather than later, as their inner circle saw them as a “great match.”
The relationship between Swift and Kelce began after Kelce spoke on his podcast about his failed attempt to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number at her Eras Tour concert in Kansas City, Missouri. Swift later told The Wall Street Journal that she heard about his gesture and a connection was made, leading to them “hanging out.”
