Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have announced their engagement, setting off a frenzy of excitement among fans and media outlets. The couple revealed the news on August 26, 2025, through a joint post on Instagram, featuring photos from the romantic proposal.

According to reports, Travis Kelce sought permission from Taylor Swift's father, Scott Swift, about a month before popping the question. Travis' father, Ed Kelce, disclosed this detail in an interview, revealing that Travis followed the traditional route of asking for her father's blessing. Interestingly, Scott Swift not only gave his blessing but also encouraged Travis to "get it done," adding, "Just you're ready, you got the ring, go do it".

Travis Kelce proposed to Taylor Swift at his $6 million Missouri home. He transformed his garden into an "enchanted garden" with thousands of flowers. Florist Ashley Greer estimated the floral display cost nearly $40,000 and featured ivy and willow, possibly referencing Swift's songs.

Ed Kelce shared additional details about the proposal, noting that it occurred roughly two weeks before the public announcement. Travis had initially planned a more elaborate proposal, but his father and Scott Swift advised him that the act of asking was what truly mattered. Travis took this advice to heart and proposed in a more intimate setting. Ed Kelce recounted that Travis led Taylor to the garden, suggesting they enjoy a glass of wine before heading out to dinner. It was there, surrounded by the beautiful floral arrangement, that he got down on one knee.

The engagement ring, designed by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry, features a dazzling Old Mine Brilliant Cut diamond with antique references. Sources say that Travis was very involved in designing the ring and had a clear vision of what Taylor would like. He paid close attention to her style and the jewelry she often wears, ensuring the ring had a "timeless, classic, vintage touch".

The Instagram post announcing the engagement broke records and included the caption, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married". The announcement was set to Swift's song "So High School".

Jason Kelce, Travis' brother, congratulated the couple on their "New Heights" podcast, calling it "The proposal heard 'round the world!".

News of the engagement has generated widespread reactions, with fans, brands, and even politicians weighing in on the happy occasion. Many are eagerly anticipating details about the upcoming wedding, which some predict will be "the wedding of the century".
