Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are in their engagement era

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are in their engagement era

Here comes the last great American dynasty. It's a love story, baby, and she said yes. He belongs with her.

Apologies, the lyric opportunities are endless and our heads are spinning because pop superstar Taylor Swift and Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce are engaged, according to a post on Swift's Instagram profile.

The duo announced the news Tuesday with photos of Kelce proposing to Swift in a flower-filled garden, the couple embracing and a close-up of her (massive) ring.

"Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," the post said, alongside an emoji of a stick of dynamite. It had 2.5 million likes within 20 minutes, and over 10 million within the hour.

Almost as if it's the good news everyone needed before August slipped away into a moment in time (again, we apologize).

Swift and Kelce have been dating for two years. Though they started dating in 2023 after the singer performed at Arrowhead Stadium — home of Kelce's team — the three-time Super Bowl winner had expressed interest in Swift as early as 2016.

The NFL quickly offered its congratulations online, posting a news story announcing the engagement on its website, and writing "congratulations to Travis and Taylor" on X.

The NHL also posted a note to the couple, writing on X, "It's a love story, and Taylor said yes." The accompanying photo on the post shows the duo when they attended Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers.

Congratulations roll in

The news broke in the middle of the Kansas City media availability, leaving defensive end Mike Danna to field questions.

"Man, it's incredible. I was caught off guard but you know, great for them," Danna said, minutes after the news raced across social media.

"Any time you find that type of joy, blessing, love — that's a beautiful thing."

On Instagram, Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes, reposted Swift's announcement along with a message of her own.

"Two of the most genuine people meet & fall in love. Just so happy for these two," she wrote, as Swift's So High School played in the background.
