Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce were first publicly seen dating in 2023. Their relationship drew intense publicity interest fairly much from the get‐go, at least partly because both have high‐profile jobs and busy fanbases. Swift has frequently attended Chiefs games, and Kelce has attended her tours.

They publicly announced their engagement on August 26, 2025, through a combined Instagram post. He proposed to Taylor Swift at a rose and flower garden, from what we could see from their publicly available pictures. Their announcement caption went as follows: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

Swift’s ring raised eyebrows; that engagement ring is detailed by featuring an old-fashioned cushion-cut (long cushion) diamond that appears unique in its mutual images.

Taylor Swift Wedding Ceremony Plans & What We Know

Although Swift and Kelce are dating, they are not quite deep into wedding preparations. Sources indicate the couple desires a period of time before settling matters.

On his podcast New Heights (which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce), Travis has said that if they had a choice, they’d choose live music at their wedding ceremony as opposed to a DJ. Live acts are likely to make an appearance. They also said that the wedding will probably be a small and intimate occasion with a few close family and friends and not a big public ceremony.

Swift has also said she has daydreamed about her “perfect wedding” or ideal suitor during previous interviews. For fans of hers out there, this engagement has become a type of realisation of long-held fantasies she once talked about.

Their relationship comes during a period of greater professional strengths for both. Taylor Swift’s album The Life of a Showgirl, her 12th studio album, is set for release on October 3, 2025. Kelce has had an NFL career as one of the best tight ends currently in the league. Their engagement comes at the same time as major milestones exist in their individual lives.
