Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married. With that one-line, five-picture Instagram post, signed off with a firecracker emoji, Taylor Swift announced her engagement to American football player Travis Kelce, sending the internet into a frenzy. Tuesday's post by the couple - who have been together for two years - has been liked more than 28 million times on the social media platform. NFL star Kelce is pictured getting down on one knee to pop the question to the world-famous music superstar, with the pair gazing into each other's eyes and embracing. In the third picture in the carousel, Swift, wearing a Ralph Lauren halter neck dress and diamond-encrusted Cartier watch, flashes her engagement ring - a cushion cut diamond on a gold band.
According to US reports, the ring was purchased from Artifex Fine Jewelry. Prices for rings on its website start at around $29,000 (£21,506.26). Photos show the couple surrounded by roses, anemones, delphiniums, and hydrangeas which appear to be set up in woodland with strategically placed urns and an archway, wedding florist Nicola Paul told the BBC. It's simple elegance, not too ostentatious, she said. It's been staged in the woods, so you get that lush greenery look.
Celebrity florist Jeff Leatham described the design as a beautiful, hidden secret garden with a romantic mix of florals. The engagement post contained elements of an Easter egg hunt — a favorite activity of Swift's that delights her fans. The caption featuring an explosion emoji can be read as TNT - T for Taylor and T for Travis - highlighting their initials.
Neither Swift nor Kelce have been publicly engaged before, adding to the significance of this moment. The engagement announcement has resonated with fans, sparking videos of friends celebrating the news across social media. Meanwhile, Swift's fans have joked online about their happiness for their close friend Swift. Chloe, who runs a Swiftie news fan account, expressed that they feel connected to Swift, reflecting on how her music encompasses personal, relatable themes of love and relationships. In an interview, Kelce's father, Ed, shared how the proposal took place at a garden in Lee's Summit, Missouri, adding a personal touch to the romantic setting. This engagement marks a major milestone in Swift's life and her music career, continuing her legacy of storytelling through love and relationships.
