Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Announce Engagement On Social Media With Photos

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially taking their love story to the next level. The global superstar and Kansas City Chiefs tight end have announced their engagement on Tuesday (Aug. 26) with a joint Instagram post.

“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the pair captioned the post, adding a dynamite emoji and a snippet of Swift’s track, “So High School.”

In the first photo, Kelce is seen kneeling on one knee beneath a floral arbor while Swift, in a striped dress, holds his face and smiles above him. Another shot shows a closeup of the singer’s hefty new ring.

The couple’s romance has captivated fans and dominated headlines since she first started appearing at his NFL games last year. While some football fans criticized the NFL for panning to Swift in the stands instead of the game, her presence reportedly boosted ticket sales and viewership.

Swift, however, has always kept her focus on their relationship despite the backlash. In 2023, she told Time magazine, “I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads and Chads.”

Before Swift, Kelce publicly dated media personality, influencer, and former sports reporter, Kayla Nicole, for about five years before their split in 2022. As for the “Shake It Off” singer, she’s dated a plethora of notable men including John Mayer, Calvin Harris, Harry Styles, Joe Jonas, and others.

The couple’s engagement news arrives just weeks after Swift appeared on Kelce’s New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason, to share details about her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl, slated to release next month.
