One step closer to “End Game” — Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged!
The “Cruel Summer” singer and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, both 35, announced their engagement in a joint post on Instagram alongside several photos from their floral-filled garden proposal on Tuesday, Aug. 26.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” Swift wrote in the caption.
Kelce proposed with a ring he designed with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry. The dazzling stone is an “Old Mine brilliant cut,” which Swift shows off in a series of photos announcing the big news.
The first engagement photo is of Kelce proposing on bended knee as Swift lovingly rests one hand on his face. Other shots show the pair embracing and sitting on a bench underneath pink-and-white floral trellis.
Earlier this month, Swift made her New Heights podcast debut, which Guinness World Records revealed broke a new world record for “the most concurrent views for a podcast on YouTube” on Aug. 13 with a total of 1.3 million.
Swift not only announced her upcoming 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, with the help of her now-fiancé and his brother, Jason, on their podcast, but she also opened up about her relationship with Kelce, including hinting that they live together.
“I knew that he wasn’t crazy the first couple of times that we talked. I was just like, he’s truly getting to know me in a way that’s very natural, very pure, very normal,” the “Style” singer said on the podcast, adding that Kelce could make her “laugh so immediately, about normal things.”
The pop star went on to describe the football player as a “vibe booster in everyone’s life that he’s in.”
“He’s like, when you take a picture on your phone and you put the, like you push the enhance color button, that’s what you do to everyone’s life,” she said to Kelce, adding that she appreciated how “non-judgmental” he was about knowing “nothing” about the world he was in.”
