It’s the news Swifties have been waiting for: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged.

The couple made the announcement on Instagram Tuesday, with the caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

Fans today are remembering the day one year ago when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce surprised her Eras Tour crowd in London when he joined her on stage.

The photo shows Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, kneeling in front of Swift in what appears to be a garden. The other photos Swift shared Tuesday include photos from the same garden, as well as a close-up photo of a dazzling ring on her finger — it’s no paper ring, either.

As has been the trend with the couple, no additional details were immediately available, like when the engagement happened. Eagle-eyed fans of the couple were quick to note that Swift was not wearing the aforementioned ring during her recent appearance on the “New Heights” podcast hosted by Kelce and his older brother, Jason, the former center for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Taylor and Travis have been together since 2023, after Kelce attended one of Swift’s multiple stops on “The Eras Tour.” Kelce explained on “New Heights” how he made friendship bracelets for Swift and tried to connect with her that night, to no avail.

His efforts would later pay off. A short time later, in September 2023, Swift was spotted in attendance at the Chiefs’ game against the Chicago Bears. Nexstar’s WGN captured what appeared to be the first time we saw Swift and Kelce together as they walked side by side, leaving Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

Since then, Kelce has attended several dozen more of Swift’s concerts, while she has appeared at nearly all of his games, including two Super Bowl appearances. Kelce recently expressed how much he enjoyed attending Swift’s shows and having her in attendance at his game.

“I get to go and be that fan. Because I am a fan. I’m a fan of music. I’m a fan of art,” he told GQ.
“And it’s so cool that I get to experience her being that plus one for me on the football field…. I feel that same enjoyment every time she comes to my shows.”

Despite their respective celebrity statuses, Kelce said that when he is with Swift, “it feels like we’re just regular people.”

“When there is not a camera on us, we’re just two people that are in love. It can be perceived as something else because of how much it is talked about and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out, but I would say that it’s as normal of…. It happened very organically even though from a media standpoint it was being tracked. It still happened very organically.”
