The "Showgirl" and the football star are tying the knot!

Ahead of her upcoming album "The Life of a Showgirl" and the upcoming NFL season, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged after dating rumors swirled in 2023. The 14-time Grammy winner and two-time Super Bowl champ announced their engagement in an Instagram post on Tuesday, Aug. 26.

"Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," the couple wrote.

A five-photo carousel showed Swift and Kelce surrounded by flowers with Travis on one knee. She also included a close-up shot of her massive Old Mine Brilliant cut diamond.

Thirteen lucky days after her podcast appearance on Kelce's "New Heights" podcast, the pair are over the moon as they prepare to tie the knot.

In July 2023, Kelce attended the second Kansas City show of Swift's Eras Tour. The tight end hoped to give Swift a friendship bracelet (popular among her "Swifties" during the nostalgia-tinged tour) with his phone number on it, but was unsuccessful.

Then, after the concert, Kelce called Swift out on an episode of his podcast "New Heights."

"I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings," Kelce said to his brother, Jason. When word got to Swift, the singer reached out.
