Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce have officially taken their romance to the next level, confirming their engagement in a heartfelt announcement that has captivated fans worldwide.
The couple, who began dating in September 2023, shared the joyous news on Tuesday, August 26, with a charming joint Instagram post that read: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
While the post delighted Swifties and NFL fans alike, the way the couple revealed the news to their families added an even sweeter touch. Kelce’s father, Ed Kelce, opened up about how he first learned of the engagement during an interview with ABC 5 Cleveland.
According to the 74-year-old, he was attending a Philadelphia Eagles public practice, which drew nearly 60,000 fans, when he received a FaceTime call from his youngest son. “As soon as I answered and saw Travis and Taylor together on the screen, I knew exactly what they were going to say,” he recalled warmly. “They let us know right then and there.”
Ed Kelce also revealed that his son had taken Swift out for a private dinner nearly two weeks before the engagement went public, signaling that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end had been carefully planning the milestone moment. However, he declined to share further details about wedding arrangements, keeping the spotlight firmly on the newly engaged couple.
The engagement marks a major milestone in the high-profile relationship that has fascinated fans since it began. Swift and Kelce’s romance has been closely followed ever since the pop superstar was spotted cheering for the tight end at Chiefs games, creating one of the most talked-about celebrity love stories of the past year.
With the engagement now official, attention will likely shift to wedding plans, though neither Swift nor Kelce has shared details about a date or location. For now, fans are celebrating the love story that blends music royalty with NFL stardom, proving that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are truly a power couple to watch.
