Taylor Swift engaged to Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce revealed Tuesday they are engaged, sharing photos of the ring and proposal in a garden filled with pink and white roses.
"Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," the couple captioned a joint post on Instagram.
The 14-time Grammy winner and Kansas City Chiefs star began dating in 2023 — after Kelce attended one of Swifts Eras Tour shows in Kansas City.
In an episode of Kelce's podcast "New Heights" with brother and former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce after the concert, Travis Kelce said he had hoped to meet Swift and give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it, but wasn't able to. Friendship bracelets became a popular accessory at the Eras Tour as fans took a lyric in Swift's song "You're On Your Own Kid" to heart.
Months later, rumors began speculating that the two were dating and Swift started attending Kelce's games.
In the latest "New Heights" episode, in which Swift announced her upcoming 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl," Swift said she owed a lot to the podcast.
"This podcast got me a boyfriend ever since Travis decided to use it as his personal dating app about two years ago," she said.
The pop star joked that Kelce threw a "man tantrum" about not getting to meet her at the concert, but then she said she thought, "If this guy isn't crazy, which is a big if, this is sort of what I've been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager."
"And I was sitting there at the Eras Tour listening to every single one of those songs like, 'I know what she wants me to do,'" Kelce said.
