Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially engaged.
The couple shared the news on Instagram with a carousel of photos and the caption, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” The photos capture the moment Kelce got down on his knee and include a close up shot of the wedding ring.
Swift and Kelce’s relationship has been a major topic of discussion since they first went public in October 2023. Kelce was the one who made the first move that sparked their relationship, and it started when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end attended Swift’s “Eras Tour” in July 2023.
In an early “New Heights” episode, Kelce revealed that he had planned to give Swift his phone number via friendship bracelet when she performed at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri (the same stadium he plays for the Chiefs) but didn’t get the chance to do so. Following that failed attempt, he got some help from people close to Swift (including members of her own family) to get her attention, eventually leading to her contacting him directly. After a bit of talking back and forth, the couple had their official first date in New York and, since then, have been unable to stay away from the public and media limelight.
In February 2024, Swift broke the record for most album of the year Grammy wins shortly before jetting to her “Eras Tour” dates in Tokyo — then turning right around to watch Kelce win the 2024 Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers one week later. That June, Kelce joined Swift onstage at her “Eras Tour” concert at Wembley Stadium in London, and the two have been spotted together at multiple other shows, football games and even the U.S. Open.
