After a brief, well-publicized romance that lasted two years and enthralled music and sports fans everywhere, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are now officially engaged.
The Start: July 2023
Their romance began when Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stopped in July 2023 at Arrowhead Stadium, home of Kelce’s NFL team, the Kansas City Chiefs. Swift’s rigorous pre-show routine prevented Kelce from giving her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it. Swift contacted him after sharing this story on his podcast, “New Heights,” and they started spending time together in private.
When Taylor was seen supporting Kelce at a Chiefs game in September 2023, the couple went public. In October 2023, they appeared in public for the first time while holding hands at a Saturday Night Live afterparty. Swift swiftly established herself as a frequent fixture at Kelce’s NFL games, cheering him on in the stands during the 2023–24 campaign, which included trips to the Super Bowl.
Their romance blossomed over the next two years. Swift continued to attend Chiefs games and engage in public interactions with Kelce’s family, while Kelce joined her on portions of her international Eras Tour and made unexpected public appearances at various international venues. Fans who called them “Traylor” or “Kelsift” were enthused by the couple’s frequent sharing of amusing and encouraging moments on social media.
Swift and Kelce revealed their engagement on Instagram on August 26, 2025, with a five-picture carousel that included Swift flaunting her gorgeous diamond ring and Kelce getting down on one knee in a garden full of roses. Fans all across the world were enchanted by the caption, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” According to reports, Kelce contributed to the design of the ring, which was a personalized diamond set in gold that was either radiant or emerald cut.
