Kelce popped the question to Swift in an outdoor setting, with the couple confirming the news on Instagram on Tuesday.

"Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," Swift wrote on the social media platform. 

The news comes just weeks after Swift announced her upcoming album, "The Life of a Showgirl" on Kelce's podcast "New Heights," which amassed millions of views in less than 24 hours.

"Taylor Swift’s engagement ring is a truly stunning vintage-style piece, featuring what looks to be a 10 to 12 carat old mine-cut diamond set in yellow gold," Laura Taylor, a jeweler specializing in engagement and wedding rings at Lorel Diamonds, told FOX Local. "This cut is a hallmark of antique jewellery, dating back to the 18th century, and is known for its soft square shape and having a romantic glow rather than the sparkle we associate with engagement rings today. It’s a choice that feels rich in history and perfect for someone like Taylor, who we know loves deep and meaningful touches herself." 

She added that a ring like this could easily be worth between $675,000 to $1 million.

Swift, Kelce dating timeline 

The backstory:

Swift began her high-profile romance with Kelce, when he invited the "Anti-Hero" singer to watch him in an NFL matchup with the Bears. Their relationship only seemed to blossom into the playoffs with Swift celebrating on the field with Kelce after the Chiefs had beaten the Ravens in Baltimore for the AFC championship.

Then came the Super Bowl and Swift's much-watched dash from a concert in Tokyo to the kickoff of the big game in Las Vegas.

She made it with plenty of time to spare, of course. And Swift became the focus of attention in her own right, winning what appeared to be a beer-chugging contest, partying with celebrity suite mates such as Blake Lively, Ice Spice and Lana Del Rey, and standing next to Kelce's mother, Donna, while he held aloft the Lombardi Trophy following the 25-22 win over the 49ers.

The couple eventually locked lips again on the field at Allegiant Stadium that night.

But, Swift previously admitted in a Time interview that they actually began dating long before she first appeared in the stands.

"This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell," she said. "We started hanging out right after that. So, we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other."

She added, "By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple.I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."

They've since publicly shared their adoration for each other online and on dates around the world. Travis traveled to Argentina in support of Swift during her final Eras Tour concerts of 2023. On Nov. 12, Swift changed the lyrics of her song "Karma" to hint at her relationship with Travis. 

"Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me," she sang.

In 2024, Kelce joined Swift's two backup dancers on her Eras Tour as Swift did a quick costume change. Kelce helped carry Swift from one side of the stage to a couch where she changed outfits, and he playfully helped her fix her makeup.

In June, the couple made their red carpet debut at Kelce's Tight End University — a three-day camp in Nashville. Later that same evening, Swift gave a surprise performance of her 2014 hit song "Shake It Off" at the Tight Ends & Friends concert at the Brooklyn Bowl.
