Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Announce Engagement After Two-Year Romance

LOS ANGELES —

In a joint Instagram post, the pair wrote, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," along with photos of the Kansas City Chiefs player on bended knee proposing to the singer-songwriter.

The 35-year-olds — she wore a black and white striped silk-blend dress, while he sported a cable-knit cotton polo collar sweater in navy, both from Polo Ralph Lauren — were seen in a garden of pink and white flowers. A snippet of Swift's song "So High School" (2024), which was inspired by Kelce, played in the background of the post. No wedding date was announced.

Kelce's father, Ed Kelce, discussed the couple in a televised interview on Aug. 26 and said the engagement happened a few weeks ago at a garden in Lee's Summit, Missouri. He said he had asked his son when they would announce it publicly, and said the younger Kelce replied, "Whenever Taylor says so."
