It’s official: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged. The couple shared the big news on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, with a joint Instagram post that quickly went viral.

In the romantic photo, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is seen kneeling as the pop superstar tenderly touches his face. The caption was as clever as it gets: “Your English teacher and your gym coach are getting married.”

The post also included images of the couple embracing in a flower-filled garden and a close-up of Taylor Swift’s stunning engagement ring, a gold band featuring a massive diamond that has sent fans into a frenzy.

A relationship that won over millions

The announcement comes after nearly two years of dating. Their romance began in 2023 when Travis Kelce revealed on his New Heights podcast that he tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number during a concert on The Eras Tour.

Soon after, the singer attended her first Chiefs game, becoming a regular presence at Arrowhead Stadium, often sharing a suite with Kelce’s parents. Meanwhile, Travis has supported Taylor at several concerts worldwide.

In recent months, the couple has deepened their bond: Swift attended Tight End University in June, they vacationed together in Florida, and in July, they shared heartwarming photos with Taylor’s brother, Austin.

The pivotal moment: Swift on Travis’ podcast

A few weeks ago, Taylor surprised fans by joining Travis on the New Heights podcast. There, she opened up about falling for the NFL star, likening it to a scene from an ‘80s movie:

“He was outside my window with a boombox, saying, ‘I want to go out with you! I made you a friendship bracelet!’ If this guy wasn’t crazy, he was basically everything I’ve dreamed of in my songs since I was a teenager.”

With this engagement, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce solidify their status as one of the most powerful and closely followed couples in entertainment and sports.
