Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially engaged.
The couple shared the news on Instagram Tuesday. Alongside a series of engagement photos, they wrote: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
“It was such a wild romantic gesture to be just like, ‘I wanna date you,’ like on [the podcast],” Swift said. “Like at first, when I looked at it, I was just like, ‘This dude didn’t get a meet and greet. He’s making it everyone’s problem.’ That’s what I thought at first.
Swift and Kelce’s love story began in 2023, when he tried to meet her at “The Eras Tour” stop in Kansas City with the hope of giving her a friendship bracelet that included his phone number. Though the attempt didn’t pan out, Kelce later shared the story on his New Heights podcast — and word eventually made its way back to Swift.
“It was such a wild romantic gesture to be just like, ‘I wanna date you,’ like on [the podcast],” Swift recalled during her own recent appearance on New Heights. “Like at first, when I looked at it, I was just like, ‘This dude didn’t get a meet and greet. He’s making it everyone’s problem.’ That’s what I thought at first.”
However, Swift added, “if this guy isn’t crazy – which is a big if – this is sort of what I’ve been writing songs about wanting to have happen to me since I was a teenager.”
They began dating soon after, with Swift becoming a regular presence at Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs games. Kelce, meanwhile, joined her on stage at the London stop of “The Eras Tour” during summer 2024.
No word on when the pair plan to tie to knot, but there’s plenty to keep them busy in the meantime: Swift is gearing up to release her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, on October 3rd, while week one of the NFL season is set to get underway early next month, with the Chiefs facing off against the Chargers from São Paulo, Brasil.
