For years, fans of Taylor Swift had followed the ups and downs of her relationships with bated breath, hoping she'd finally find "the one." And it would seem that she has achieved that honor in Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce.
The football player popped the question, and it would seem that Taylor answered, "Yes!"
The duo announced the big news abruptly on Aug. 26, 2025. Here's what Taylor had to say about the surprise announcement and how fans have reacted to the big news.
It's official, it's finally happening: Taylor Swift is showing off her engagement ring. For real.
The duo started dating sometime between July and September of 2023. Travis admitted that he tried to give Taylor his number and failed initially. But somehow the stars aligned, and the duo met in a whirlwind romance that led to their engagement and, hopefully, their eventual marriage.
Taylor took to Instagram to share the big news.
In an Instagram post showing photos of their engagement, Taylor wrote, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married." A carousel of photos featured Travis getting down on one knee, the couple kissing, and Taylor's engagement ring. The ring, boasting a large gem, appears to be sporting an elongated cushion diamond on what is either yellow or rose gold.
What does Taylor's engagement ring look like?
People reports that Travis designed the Old Mine Brilliant Cut diamond ring with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine jewelry, which has rings that range from around $5,000 to upwards of $30,000. This is admittedly on the low side for a duo as famous and wealthy as this pair, but the whimsical, fantasy-inspired aesthetic of the piece fits Taylor perfectly.
It's definitely a sparkly accoutrement that won't be missed in any of Taylor's public appearances.
Fans, of course, immediately lost their marbles and began wishing the duo the best. They also demanded answers about how/when/what for the engagement itself, but for now, they'll have to wait and see what the private duo chooses to share.
At least some details are sure to come, but for now, fans can rejoice in the fact that Taylor seems over the moon, and Travis really knocked it out of the park with this ring.
