Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially engaged, marking the next chapter in their whirlwind romance. After two years of dating, the Grammy-winning singer and the Kansas City Chiefs star shared the exciting news via Instagram, showing off an ethereal garden proposal and Taylor’s dazzling Old Mine Brilliant Cut engagement ring. Fans are already obsessed with every detail.
The proposal took place at Travis Kelce’s home in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, approximately two weeks before the public announcement on August 26, 2025. Ed Kelce, Travis’s father, revealed that the proposal occurred in a garden setting adorned with pink and white roses, creating a romantic atmosphere for the special moment.
The Proposal and Stunning Ring Reveal
Taylor Swift’s engagement ring, presented by Travis Kelce, is a vintage-inspired masterpiece designed in collaboration with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry. The ring features an approximately 8-carat Old Mine Brilliant Cut diamond, renowned for its antique charm and elongated cushion shape.
Set in 18k yellow gold, the ring includes side stones—half-moon and small round diamonds—that enhance its timeless appeal. Experts estimate the ring’s value to range between $250,000 and $550,000, with some appraisers suggesting it could be worth up to $1 million, depending on the diamond’s quality and provenance.
Travis Kelce popped the question amid a breathtaking display of pink and white roses in a private garden. Taylor, wearing Ralph Lauren’s Striped Silk Blend Dress, was seen embracing Travis as he got down on one knee.
How the Love Story Began
The couple first sparked romance rumors in summer 2023 when Travis attended Taylor’s Eras Tour concert. Despite a missed chance to give her a friendship bracelet with his number, Travis’s efforts eventually won Taylor over. In a TIME interview, Taylor explained they secretly spent months together, enjoying privacy before publicly confirming their relationship during Travis’ September 2023 Chiefs game with his mother, Donna Kelce.
Navigating Fame and Supporting Each Other
Throughout their relationship, Taylor and Travis have shown unwavering support, attending each other’s events across the globe—from Super Bowl victories to Eras Tour stops. Despite media scrutiny, both stars focus on privacy and positivity. Taylor even honored Travis in two songs from The Tortured Poets Department album, highlighting their deep connection while navigating the intense spotlight with love and humor.
