Taylor Swift–Travis Kelce Engagement: What We Know About Their Wedding, Ring & Future Plans

Taylor Swift has written countless love songs in her career, but her real-life romance with NFL star Travis Kelce might just be the greatest one yet.

After two years of dating, the pop superstar and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end announced their surprise engagement on August 26, 2025, sending fans into a frenzy.

The Instagram reveal instantly set the internet ablaze, with Swifties and football fans alike calling it the “closest thing America will ever get to a royal wedding.

So what do we know so far about the engagement, the ring, and what could be one of the most talked-about weddings of the decade?

The love story began in summer 2023, when Kelce mentioned Swift on his podcast New Heights. He confessed he had tried (and failed) to give her a friendship bracelet at the Eras Tour.

What started as a playful joke soon turned into a serious romance, with Swift showing up at Chiefs games and Kelce making appearances at Taylor Swift’s concerts.

By June 2024, Kelce even joined Swift on stage at her London Eras Tour stop in Wembley Stadium, a sign that their relationship had blossomed into something fans could no longer ignore.

In a joint podcast appearance earlier this year, Kelce credited Swift’s tour for bringing them together: “If I had never gone to that show and been mesmerised, I don’t think I would have ever had the courage to go on air and talk about it. That moment changed everything.”

Some people say I love you, but Travis Kelce says “I give the eras tour credit. If I had never gone to that show and been mesmerised, and just been captivated and left with such a desire to want to meet you … I’ve never been so engulfed in the curiosity of who you were.” pic.twitter.com/490pxtfv80

Taylor Swift’s Engagement Ring

Of course, everyone wants to know about the ring, and it’s a showstopper. According to Vogue, Travis Kelce collaborated with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewellery to design the piece.

• Style: Bezel-set, round brilliant-cut old mine diamond

• Setting: Yellow gold with delicate filigree details

• Vibe: Vintage, romantic, and perfectly aligned with Swift’s timeless personal style

Some fans have even pointed out that the diamond’s shape echoes the look of a football championship ring — a fitting nod to Kelce’s profession and their “championship-worthy” love story.

Swift has famously kept her personal views on marriage private, though her music has often reflected her evolving feelings on love.

Kelce, however, has been more open. In a recent GQ interview, he shared insights from his parents’ long marriage and how that shaped his views: “Whenever I’m with her, it feels like we’re just regular people. We fell in love organically. Even though the world was watching, it’s always just been about us in the room together,” he said.

Who Will Be in Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Wedding Party?

This is where things get fun. The couple hasn’t shared plans, but speculation about the bridal party is already running rampant.

• Kelce’s side: His brother Jason Kelce (also an NFL star) is almost guaranteed to stand by him. His close-knit group of longtime friends will likely be there too.

• Swift’s side: Selena Gomez is the most obvious pick for maid of honour. Swift could also include longtime friends like Abigail Anderson, Gigi Hadid, Blake Lively, the Haim sisters, Emma Stone, Keleigh Teller, and Phoebe Bridgers. And, of course, her future sister-in-law Kylie Kelce.

Fans are already predicting that this bridal party could rival Hollywood’s biggest red carpets.
