One-time country sensation Taylor Swift has officially announced her engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce. While she has left the world of country music far behind, we all know where her roots are planted, and so we celebrate her wedding planner Era.
Taylor Swift (35) and Travis Kelce (35) are engaged! After two years of headlines, friendship bracelets, and soundtrack-worthy love, the pop icon and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end confirmed their engagement, and you best believe it’s the kind of romance CMNB readers live for.
Taylor broke the news with a shared Instagram post on August 26, captioning it with a cheeky, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” The photos show Kelce down on one knee in a garden glowing with pink and white roses, followed by shots of the two embracing, and a show-stopping close-up of Taylor’s ring.
Fans and media are buzzing, and for good reason. The ring which was designed by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry is a vintage-inspired Old Mine Brilliant Cut set in gold. It’s thought to be around 8 carats with VS1 clarity and that perfect neutral color, retailing in the ballpark of $550,000. It’s elegant. It’s classic. It’s Taylor.
Swift and Kelce’s love story probably reads more like a rom-com, starting with her showing up to his Chiefs game, that almost-famous friendship bracelet, and his declaration on New Heights he got her number… eventually. Since going public, they’ve broken viewership records, showed up for each other’s milestones, and now—they’re heading toward forever.
For Swifties, for country music nostalgists, and for anyone who’s ever believed in the fairy-tale excitement of a big moment, this is it. Era 2.0 is here, and we’re already rooting for happily-ever-after.
