Overview

• Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement on Aug. 26 in a joint Instagram post showing a rose‑garden proposal.
• Two days later they attended the Cincinnati–Nebraska game at Arrowhead with Jason Kelce and Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, where Swift displayed an Old Mine Cut diamond ring reportedly co‑designed with jeweler Kindred Lubeck.
• Nebraska’s official athletics account posted a photoshopped image replacing Kelce with the Herbie Husker mascot in the couple’s engagement photo, then deleted it after sharp criticism from Swift’s fans.
• Kelce was booed by a segment of the crowd when he appeared on the stadium video board during the game.
• Vice President J.D. Vance said the NFL should not favor the Chiefs because of the high‑profile engagement, urging fans to push back if they see unfairness.
