Taylor Swift Clarifies Wedding Speech, Details Kelce Proposal on ‘Tonight Show

Gomez later posted behind-the-scenes wedding images highlighting their nearly 20-year bond.

Overview

  • Swift said she intentionally avoided mentioning her engagement during her speech at Selena Gomez’s Sept. 27 wedding, stating, “I did not make it about me.”
  • She described gently teasing how she and Gomez dressed when they met in 2008, keeping the toast focused on the bride.
  • Swift recounted that Travis Kelce had her ring “for a really long time” and used a New Heights taping and blackout drapes as a ruse before proposing in his backyard.
  • She confirmed Ed Sheeran learned of the engagement via Instagram because he does not use a phone.
  • Gomez shared video and photos from the wedding praising Swift, as Swift’s Oct. 3 album The Life of a Showgirl drew reported 2.7 million first‑day sales and a Spotify single‑day streaming record, with Kelce calling it “absolutely amazing.”
