Taylor and Travis, aged 35, shared their delightful announcement of their engagement through a joint Instagram post on August 26th. The caption, “The English teacher and the gym teacher are tying the knot,” captures the essence of their unique bond.

Apart from Andy, many other members of the Chiefs Kingdom have expressed their joy over Travis and Taylor’s love story. In fact, soon after the news became public, Travis’ teammate and close friend, Patrick Mahomes, showed his support by reposting the announcement on his Instagram Story, accompanied by three heart emojis in red.

Referring to Patrick Mahomes’ spouse, Brittany Mahomes, who has developed a close bond with Taylor during NFL games over the past few years, she commended their relationship on her own Instagram Story, expressing, “Two of the most sincere individuals cross paths and fall in love.

 

The singer of “Lavender Haze” received backing from her closest friend, Abigail Anderson, who expressed excitement about the engagement with a simple “This,” accompanied by red heart emojis.

Jason announced on the August 27 podcast episode that there’s some major news to share. Since the recording took place on Monday, which happened to be Travis’ day off, he couldn’t personally address it. However, the team at ‘New Heights’ felt it was important to get together and extend a heartfelt congratulations to Travis and Taylor for their recent engagement. The proposal has been making headlines worldwide, so bravo!

Keep reading to look back on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love story…

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romantic journey started in July 2023, as her Eras Tour came to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.

Being an ardent fan of Taylor Swift, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs hoped to present her with a friendship bracelet bearing his number during the show. Unfortunately, his plan was thwarted as she was engrossed in her pre-performance routines, preventing him from making the connection.

Travis mentioned during his New Heights podcast on July 26th that he felt let down because she doesn’t speak before or after her performances, as she needs to preserve her voice for the 44 songs she sings. Consequently, he was a bit upset that he couldn’t give her one of the bracelets he made for her.

Following his high-profile mistake, which Taylor himself referred to as “purely metal,” Travis made the bold decision to extend an invitation to the Grammy-winning artist to witness the Chiefs compete live at Arrowhead Stadium.

He mentioned on The Pat McAfee Show that he had made an invitation. Specifically, he said he had tossed the idea out there by throwing the ball into her court. Essentially, he told her, “I’ve noticed your impressive performances at Arrowhead, so it might be your turn to come see me perform there and decide who puts on a more exciting show.” So, let’s wait and see what transpires in the upcoming days.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, let me share that I’ve been sporting a stylish mustache since its unveiling at the training camp back in August. Upon my initial meeting with Taylor, this distinctive feature of mine was surely a part of our memorable introduction.

In his reflection on that period, he remarked, “For a while, his mustache and the number 87 jersey were quite iconic. And when I first met Taylor, I happened to be wearing them too.

According to a reliable source familiar with the matter, by early September, Travis and Taylor had been exchanging texts and conversations sporadically.

“It’s been very low-key,” the insider explained, “as he’s been in season.”

Upon receiving an invitation from Travis, Taylor went to Arrowhead Stadium to be with Donna Kelce, the athlete’s mom, and watch her son play for the Chiefs against the Chicago Bears. Following the game, Taylor and Travis were spotted displaying affection in a local bar.

It is thought that their in-person encounter was their first, but later, the singer of “Karma” made it clear that they had already spent quite a bit of time together prior to this meeting.

As Taylor noted, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.” 

To signal a growing connection, Taylor invited her group – which comprised friends like Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter, and Antoni Porowski – to catch the Chiefs versus New York Jets game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

A notable connection between Travis and potentially being “The One” could stem from his growing friendship with Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Travis’ close friend and football teammate Patrick Mahomes, both on and off the field during NFL games.

On October 14th, the couple unexpectedly joined the stage of Saturday Night Live. Not only did they appear on the show itself, but their New York City visit continued with the after-party for the NBC sketch program and a romantic dinner at the Waverly Inn.

During a week without a game, Travis took a trip to Argentina for Taylor’s World Tour: Eras edition. Not only did the NFL player get closer to Scott Swift, Taylor’s father, at the concert in Buenos Aires on November 11th, but he also received a personal recognition from the stage.

“Karma is that guy on the Chiefs,” Taylor sang, “coming straight home to me.”

Following the performance, the performer of “Midnights” was spotted rushing towards Travis backstage and enthusiastically embracing him with an emotional kiss.

Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis’ games.

She informed Time magazine: “I’m going to watch him pursue his passion, we’ll be there for each other, others will also be present and we don’t mind. The contrary to this is having to invest a lot of effort in hiding the fact that we’re together.

 

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase that statement like this: On December 17th, turning the game into a heartwarming family event, the celebrated music star graciously accompanied me, cheering from the sidelines alongside my father, who was there to support his son.

On New Year’s Eve for the very first time, Taylor and Travis celebrated the night together. They shared a heartfelt kiss as the clock chimed midnight, welcoming January 1st.

During the Chiefs’ game against the Buffalo Bills, Taylor enjoyed spending time with Travis’ family, specifically his brother Jason Kelce and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce.

Back in 2023, I, an unapologetic fanboy, was ecstatically present as Taylor linked arms with Travis on that hallowed football field – the moment the Chiefs claimed the AFC Championship, securing their ticket to the grandest stage of them all, the 2024 Super Bowl. Overwhelmed by the triumph, we shared a heartfelt kiss of jubilation before Travis, with a beaming smile, uttered those three magical words that resonated in my cheering heart: “I love you.

“Tay, I’m gonna enjoy with the guys,” he told her. “I love you—so much it’s not funny.”

 
 

As your trusted lifestyle guide, let me share an electrifying moment from February 11, 2024, in Las Vegas. Stepping onto the field as a victorious leader of the Kansas City Chiefs, my heart pounded with Travis’s energy. In a passionate display, we shared a celebratory kiss, sealing our team’s triumph. What an unforgettable night!

On February 12th, Taylor shared videos of Travis on social media for the very first time, playfully jabbing at their spontaneous post-Super Bowl night out with the athlete and her parents.

Taylor Swift’s initial Instagram post, featuring Travis, was a selfie taken with Prince William, his wife Kate Middleton, and their eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, backstage during her Eras tour concert at Wembley Stadium in London. (Paraphrased)

During the seventh Eras tour concert held at London’s Wembley Stadium, the NFL star made an appearance on stage alongside his girlfriend. This occurred during her rendition of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” where he supported her as a backup performer.

Taylor attended the Chief’s first game of the 2024-25 regular season alongside Travis. A photograph shared by Chariah Gordon, who is seen with her partner, Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman, seems to depict a similar affectionate display as the one they had in October 2023.

The duo were present at the wedding of model Karen Elson, who got married to Lee Foster, the proprietor of Electric Lady Studios, in New York City.

The next day, the pair attended the men’s singles final match at the U.S. Open.

The two stepped out for a double dinner date with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in NYC.

Over New Year’s weekend in 2024, the duo enjoyed two consecutive outings in New York City, where they coordinated their attire on each occasion.

During the NFL’s off-season, I had the pleasure of spending some time with the sportscaster Erin Andrews in a snowy getaway to Montana. It was an unforgettable vacation we shared together.

In July 2025, Travis shared the initial photos of him and Taylor on Instagram, among which was a charming snapshot taken during dinner. This image hinted at a sweet detail – they both had pictures of each other set as their phone screen savers.

Taylor, who describes herself as a dedicated fan of New Heights, appeared on Travis and Jason’s podcast for a special nearly two-hour episode on Aug 13. During the conversation, she opened up about various aspects of her life, both in and out of the limelight. Moreover, Taylor announced that her 12th studio album titled “The Life of a Showgirl” is scheduled to release on Oct 3.

Over two years following Travis’ globally famous podcast mention, the happy news emerged that Travis and Taylor are set to marry. In a playful nod to her song titled “So High School,” they humorously captioned an August 26 Instagram post showcasing their engagement photos: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are tying the knot.
