On August 26th, 2025, one of the world’s most iconic and influential songwriters to the music industry dropped lifechanging news: Taylor Swift got engaged to Travis Kelce. A post on their Instagram story later that day read “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married”.

While fans have been speculating on an engagement for quite some time, nothing previously was confirmed or denied on the status of Swift and Kelce’s relationship. Since 2023, the couple has been well known, as fans have seen Kelce at countless Eras Tour Shows, and Swift at many Kansas City Chiefs games.

During an interview with Ed Kelce, Travis’s father, he explains the details behind the event the world had been waiting for – how Travis Kelce popped the question to Swift. Ed explained how they were going to go out to dinner, but then Travis suggested they go outside in the backyard. Travis had used over 2,000 flowers to enhance the garden, making it the perfect spot to ask the ultimate question, and the perfect spot for Swift to say yes.

In the middle of a beautiful garden at Kelce’s Missouri home, he proposed to Swift with a gorgeous mine-cut antique diamond engagement ring. Her ring is said to be an 18K yellow gold band, enclosing ten carats of diamond, priced between half a million and around one million dollars.

With a new album set to hit listeners soon, and an engagement that broke the internet, Swift has once again kept fans excited for what is to come. The couple’s wedding date is approximately set for next summer in Rhode Island, so while Swifties must wait to see her dressed in all white, they know she will get her “love story” moment before the end of 2026 – and her long awaited happily ever after.
