Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s whirlwind romance just hit a major milestone. After months of public outings, stadium appearances, and countless headlines, the pop superstar and NFL tight end are officially engaged. The proposal came shortly after Travis discussed their relationship on his New Heights podcast and Taylor revealed her new album plans, making it a moment fans won’t forget.
From the early days of their love story to the exact timing of the engagement, here’s everything to know about when Travis popped the question.
How Long Have Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Been Together?
Taylor and Travis first sparked romance rumors in July 2023, when the Kansas City Chiefs star revealed on his New Heights podcast that he tried (and failed) to give Taylor a friendship bracelet with his phone number at her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City. By September 2023, she was spotted at Arrowhead Stadium cheering him on, and the two quickly became inseparable.
That means the couple has been together for a little over two years before their 2025 engagement.
When Did Taylor Swift Get Engaged to Travis Kelce?
The couple officially announced their engagement on Instagram on August 26, 2025, with a playful joint post that read, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
But as Taylor’s fiancé’s father, Ed Kelce, shared in several interviews, the actual proposal happened approximately two weeks earlier—on or around August 10, shortly after Taylor announced her new album. It took place at Kelce’s home in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, in a garden he had arranged with flowers around a gazebo. He asked Swift to step outside for a glass of wine “and that’s when he asked her,” making for an intimate, spontaneous moment.
Immediately after she said “yes,” the couple FaceTimed both families to share the news—Ed recounted catching the call just before practice, saying, “They started FaceTiming me and their mother and her folks to make sure everybody knew. So, to see them together is great.”
