Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Engagement: Everything to Know

Oh my my my, Travis Kelce looked at Taylor Swift and got down on one knee after two years of dating.

Swift and Kelce announced in August 2025 that they are engaged.

“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the pair captioned a joint Instagram post, nodding to both Swift’s prolific songwriting and Kelce’s achievements as an NFL superstar.

Kelce got down on a knee in a rose-filled garden, where Swift appeared emotional as she said “yes.” The Kansas City Chiefs tight end then slipped a diamond by Kindred Lubeck at Artifex Fine Jewelry on her left ring finger.

Shortly before Swift and Kelce confirmed their engagement, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the power couple were “genuinely ready” for their next chapter together.

“They want to be married and have kids in the future,” the insider said in a cover story published earlier that month, noting the duo are “on the same page.”
