Pop superstar and Grammy-winning singer Taylor Swift has announced she is engaged to American football player Travis Kelce. The couple, who began dating in the summer of 2023 after Kelce attended one of Swift's Eras Tour concerts in Kansas City, announced the news via a joint Instagram post. The post featured a carousel of photos from the proposal, including the football player down on one knee in a garden filled with pink and white roses, the pair embracing, and a close-up of Swift's engagement ring — a large diamond set in yellow gold. The wedding date has not been announced yet.
They captioned it: "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married--a playful nod to their respective careers as a singer-songwriter (often likened to an English teacher for her storytelling) and an NFL tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs (the gym teacher).

Engagement Ring Steals The Spotlight
The news has sparked widespread excitement on social media, with fans celebrating the "love story". Taylor Swift's fans, affectionately known as Swifties, are buzzing about the stunning diamond ring Travis Kelce gave her. Although details about the engagement ring are still emerging, Swifties have been analysing every aspect of the ring.
The square-oval ring features a prominent centre stone, described as an "old mine brilliant-cut diamond", estimated to be around 8-10 carats, as per Page Six. The diamond ring features a "brilliant-cut" design, which means that it maximises light return and sparkle through a precise arrangement of facets - typically around 58.
According to reports, the ring was co-designed by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewellery and Travis Kelce himself, adding a personal touch to the stunning piece. A few posts on X speculated that the ring might cost between $550,000-$750,000.
The ring has been praised for its elegance and for reflecting Swift's personal style. One user wrote, "I honestly never knew what kind of ring Taylor would go for, but now that I see it, it's like, oh, of course that's Taylor Swift's engagement ring. It's so quintessentially her. It's perfect."
Another user commented, "This is the most Taylor Swift-coded engagement ring I have ever seen, it's literally perfect for her." A third fan said, "The most Taylor Swift ring to ever ring."
