Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement earlier today. The couple shared the news with fans in a joint post on social media alongside photos from the occasion in which they showcased the engagement ring.
The singer-songwriter, 35, and the Kansas City Chiefs player, also 35, who went public with their relationship two years ago, gave a glimpse into the proposal in photos on Instagram earlier. They were seen surrounded by flowers in a garden, with the photos showing them embracing after getting engaged.
One photo provided a close-up of the ring that Travis presented to the Grammy Award winner. The engagement ring features a silver diamond on a gold band, with the jewellery sparkling on Taylor’s finger as she held hands with her fiancé.
The ring was also visible in other photos shared by the couple, including one that showed Taylor and Travis hugging. She had her hand, with the ring on display, placed against his head as they embraced after getting engaged.

Travis is said to have helped to design the engagement ring, which has been described as being in the old mine brilliant cut style. TMZ reports that it’s learned that it was created by Kindred Lubeck, with sources adding that the jeweller worked with groom-to-be Travis on the design.
Following the news of the engagement, there’s been speculation about how many carats it boasts, though details have yet to be confirmed. Daniela Tarantino, VP of Merchandising of James Allen and Blue Nile, told Marie Claire: “Taylor Swift’s gorgeous ring is likely a unique cut just for her, but to our eye it looks similar to an elongated modified cushion. We estimate it’s somewhere between 10–15 carats total, set on a yellow gold band, likely costing between $750,000 and $1,000,000.”
Another photo showed NFL star Travis, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, down on one knee whilst proposing to Taylor. The floral scenery, including an arch, were seen around the couple as they celebrated the special occasion.
According to Vogue, Taylor’s striped dress that she modelled in the photo was created by Ralph Lauren, whilst her heeled sandals are from Louis Vuitton. The outlet reports that she accessorised with a gold Cartier Santos Demoiselle Quartz watch with a diamond-encrusted face.
Alongside the photos, the couple wrote in the caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” The caption ended with a TNT emoji. The post included Taylor’s song So High School from her album The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, released last year.

It’s thought that there may have been clues to the engagement from the couple previously. There’s also speculation that Taylor may have known it was coming herself. The Sun has suggested that her manicured nails and coordinated jewellery, as well as the scene resembling the music video for Lover, are potential signs.
The outlet added that Taylor and Travis were both in matching Ralph Lauren outfits. This may have been a coincide, or planning on Travis’ part, but the outlet adds that it could also be a hint towards them wanting to look coordinated for the headline-making moment.
Taylor and Travis’ joint post has amassed more than 5 million likes within an hour of being uploaded. Fans have shared their thoughts on X, including on the engagement ring itself. One person wrote in a post: “This ring is so TAYLOR.”

Another said: “That’s a big rock.” A third commented following the news of their engagement: “Wow the ring is absolutely stunning! Wishing them a lifetime of love & happiness.” Someone else said: “That looks expensive.”
Some fans have suggested that the engagement ring resembles a logo used when Taylor announced in May that she now owns “all of the music” that she’s ever made, following a dispute over her back catalogue. One person tweeted today: “Is no one going to point out Taylor’s ring looks like the logo from her masters announcement.”
As reported by the Associated Press, the news broke in the middle of the Kansas City Chiefs’ media availability, though after head coach Andy Reid had departed. Defensive end Mike Danna was then left field questions about it.
Mike said about the engagement: “Man, it’s incredible. I was caught off guard but you know, great for them. But you know, great for them. That’s a blessing. Any time you find that type of joy, blessing, love – that’s a beautiful thing.”

There’s also been reaction from Travis’ teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany Mahomes, who responded on social media earlier today. The couple are thought to have become close to Travis and Taylor over the years.
Patrick shared the engagement post on his Instagram Story and added three red hearts. Brittany wrote when she shared Taylor’s post herself: “Two of the most genuine people meet & fall in love. Just so happy for these two.”
The news even prompted reaction from President Donald Trump in a cabinet meeting. When asked about the engagement, the politician, who has previously expressed distaste for Taylor, said: “I wish them a lot of luck. I think he’s a great player, he’s a great guy, and I think she’s a terrific person.”
