LOS ANGELES, Calif. (TDR) — Pop culture’s favorite couple has made it official. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement Tuesday, sharing a series of photos featuring a diamond ring and a rose-filled garden proposal that captured the internet’s attention in an instant.

A Love Story Born on Tour

Swift, 34, and Kelce, 34, first connected in 2023 after Kelce attended one of her Kansas City Eras Tour stops. He later revealed on his New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce that he had tried — and failed — to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his number on it. That playful confession set social media buzzing and, months later, the two quietly began dating.

By fall of that year, Swift was a regular presence at Kansas City Chiefs games, and the relationship quickly became a global fascination. Fans tied Swift’s song lyrics to the romance, particularly as she released tracks that seemed inspired by Kelce.

The couple chose Instagram for their engagement announcement, posting jointly: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” The lighthearted caption played into their ongoing banter, further fueling the enthusiasm of millions of fans.

The post was set to Swift’s track “So High School” from her 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology. Fans have long speculated the song was written about Kelce. In one lyric, Swift sings: “You know how to ball, I know Aristotle.”

A Diamond to Remember

Swift’s publicist Tree Paine confirmed to the Associated Press that the engagement ring was designed by New York jeweler Kindred Lubeck. The diamond, an old mine brilliant cut, immediately drew admiration online.

Lubeck, who founded Artifex Fine Jewelry, is the daughter of goldsmith Jay Lubeck, whose craftsmanship is well known in Florida’s jewelry circles.
