American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and National Football League star Travis Kelce broke the internet today with the announcement of their engagement.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen. Travis knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring!
The couple surprised the world with a collaborative Instagram post, which included five images of Swift and Travis captured in a magical and floral setting, with one of the shots showing the football star down on his knee. The caption read, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married. 🧨”
In the background played “So High School”, a heartfelt track from the 35-year-old Grammy winner’s 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department.
According to an interview with Ed Kelce, Travis’ father, his son proposed to the singer almost two weeks ago at a garden in Lee’s Summit, Missouri.
The newly-engaged couple’s romance started nearly two years ago. During an episode of his podcast “New Heights”, the 35-year-old NFL player revealed that he attended the superstar’s July 2023 Eras Tour and had a failed attempt to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number.
Swift reached out to him after the podcast, which led to a first date. In September 2023, Swift showed up to her first Kansas City Chiefs game to support Kelce.
Currently, fans can’t get enough of the engagement reveal. Many have expressed their support and sweet thoughts combined with nostalgia, saying that Swift has finally met the one she’s been writing about for decades.
Our feels right now? Heart. Gone. Taylor, go pick out a white dress.
Because it’s a love story, and baby, she just said “Yes!”
