Overview

  • Swift confirmed the news on Aug. 26 with a joint Instagram caption reading, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."
  • Photos show Kelce on one knee in a flower-filled garden and a close-up of Swift’s ring, described by experts as an elongated or cushion-cut diamond on yellow gold with high six-figure valuations and reported by outlets to be designed by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex.
  • Outlets reported the post surpassed five million likes in under an hour as global attention surged across social platforms.
  • Congratulations poured in from the Kansas City Chiefs, the NFL, and teammates Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, while owner Clark Hunt recently called a Swift–Kelce image at Arrowhead one of the team’s "special moments."
  • No wedding date has been announced; the engagement follows about two years of a public relationship and Swift’s recent New Heights podcast appearance that Guinness says set a concurrent-viewers record.
