Pop superstar Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce announced their engagement on Tuesday, Aug. 26, in a five-photo joint post on Instagram. The caption—“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married”—accompanied images of Kelce kneeling in a flower-filled garden while Swift showed off a sizable diamond ring. The post drew more than one million likes in less than 10 minutes, underscoring the couple’s broad cultural reach. Swift and Kelce, both 35, began dating in the summer of 2023 after Kelce attended her Eras Tour concert in Kansas City and later invited her to a Chiefs home game. They went public that September and have since appeared regularly at each other’s professional milestones: Swift attended 13 Chiefs games during the 2023-24 NFL season, including the team’s Super Bowl victory, while Kelce traveled to several international stops of the Eras Tour and even joined her on stage at Wembley Stadium in June 2025. The engagement caps nearly two years of intense public fascination with the pair, whose crossover appeal has boosted NFL television ratings and concert demand alike. The couple did not disclose wedding plans or a date.
