Taylor Swift is officially engaged to NFL star Travis Kelce! The couple announced their joyful news on Instagram on August 26, 2025, with a sweet caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married” . The romantic announcement was set to her song “So High School” from The Tortured Poets Department anthology—a track many believe beautifully captures their relationship.
The proposal took place in a picturesque garden, under a floral trellis, as captured in a series of intimate photos—one of which showcases Swift’s breathtaking ring.
The Ring: A Vintage Masterpiece
Designed by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry with input from Kelce.
The center diamond is an elongated Old Mine Brilliant Cut, bezel-set in warm yellow gold, giving it a timeless, vintage allure.
Experts estimate its value varies from high six figures up to $5 million, depending on carat size—reports range from 7–9 carats to as high as 20 carats.
Cultural Impact & Public Reaction
The engagement post shattered Instagram records, gathering over 1 million reposts in under six hours and 14 million likes within the first hour.
Celebrities such as Cardi B, Gigi Hadid, and Meghan Markle expressed their support online, while members of the British royal family liked the post.
The buzz even prompted a playful reaction from Martha Stewart, who offered to be the couple’s wedding planner.
The announcement has symbolic nods too—fans noticed the firecracker (dynamite) emoji could be a subtle “TNT” reference to Taylor and Travis, and Taylor’s longtime lucky number 13 was sprinkled in the visuals.
What About Tattoos?
Surprisingly, Taylor Swift does not have any tattoos, and has previously stated she didn’t see herself committing to one—though she joked in 2012 that if she ever would, it might be her lucky 13.
More recently, after regaining ownership of her music catalog—a milestone she deeply celebrated—Swift playfully mentioned that her first tattoo might just be a large shamrock on her forehead as a nod to Shamrock Capital, though no actual tattoo has been inked.
