Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged, the couple announced on Tuesday. They shared the news in a five-photo post on Instagram, marking a significant milestone in their two-year relationship that has captivated fans worldwide, particularly Swift's dedicated followers. The post featured a playful caption: "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," along with a dynamite emoji.
Kelce, a star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and a Super Bowl champion, gained even more attention through his relationship with Swift, whose fame is unparalleled. Their romance has been highlighted in numerous moments, including Swift cheering at Chiefs games and Kelce enjoying her Eras concert tour.
Despite some speculation about the authenticity of their relationship, the couple has consistently appeared happy and in love. Their engagement ring is said to rival the size of Kelce's three Super Bowl rings. Details about when and where the engagement took place remain unclear, and a representative for Swift did not respond to requests for comment.
The announcement came during a media session for the Kansas City Chiefs, shortly after head coach Andy Reid had left. Chiefs defensive end Mike Danna expressed his surprise and happiness for the couple, stating, "Man, it’s incredible. I was caught off guard but you know, great for them. That’s a blessing. Any time you find that type of joy, blessing, love — that’s a beautiful thing."
Danna, who has socialized with Swift and Kelce at various events, joked about finding an engagement gift, saying, "Maybe some Pop-Tarts back to her. It won’t be homemade."
The NFL also acknowledged the engagement on social media, although they initially tagged the wrong account before correcting it. Kelce and Swift's relationship has been a focal point in the recently released six-part ESPN documentary "The Kingdom," which follows the Chiefs' quest for a third consecutive Super Bowl title.
At the premiere of the documentary, Kelce was accompanied by his parents, who expressed their support for the couple. Ed Kelce remarked, "She’s very good for him. I don’t hesitate in saying that. They are two people that truly deserve each other."
