Love on the Airwaves: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Announce Engagement

As you’ve likely heard, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce just became engaged, and their respective fandoms are still shaking with glee at the news. The couple confirmed the news on August 26, 2025, sharing the joyful moment on Instagram with the playful caption, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” This announcement came just days after Travis Kelce’s father, Ed Kelce, shared the good news with his son. He shared that the couple had been engaged for almost two weeks.

The proposal happened by surprise in their home in Missouri. And all because Travis Kelce originally planned to propose sometime later in the month. Fortunately for his family, he decided to ask the question one day sooner. Ed Kelce shared insights into his son’s decision-making process, stating, “He was going to put it off till this week… to make some grand thing, to make it a big special event.” But eventually, he came to appreciate that it was the intent behind the action—and the authenticity of the moment—that overshadowed the opulence of the White House grounds.

The couple’s relationship first garnered public attention in September 2023 when Swift attended a Kansas City Chiefs game alongside Donna Kelce, Travis’s mother. Since then, they’ve had a whirlwind romance. It’s been an exhilarating whirlwind, from Swift rooting for the Chiefs at games to her extending an invitation for Travis to join her on stage during her Eras Tour.

On August 13, 2025, both stars made a guest appearance on the podcast “New Heights,” hosted by Jason Kelce and his brother, Travis. At one point in their chat, Swift adorably referred to Travis as “a vibe booster.” She referred to him as “a living exclamation point,” underscoring the infectious chemistry that has audiences raving.

In a surprise turn during the newlyweds’ podcast episode, Jason Kelce paused long enough to acknowledge the engagement buzz. He stated, “There is one gigantic piece of news that just hit the waves… we felt necessary as a team to send Travis and Taylor a giant congratulations for being engaged.” This touching note arrived right before the announcement was officially released!

Swift used her time on the podcast to announce her upcoming 12th studio album titled “The Life of a Showgirl.” The intersection of personal and professional milestones has turned this into an exciting time for both artists.

As fans continue to celebrate their engagement, Ed Kelce reflected on the couple’s proposal with warmth: “They got out there, and that’s when he asked her, and it was beautiful.” This feeling is surely shared with many who, like us, have been along for their ride since the beginning.
