Taylor Swift Reveals Podcast 'Ruse' and Blackout Drapes Behind Travis Kelce’s Backyard Proposal

Her Tonight Show recount links the surprise to a New Heights recording tied to her album reveal.

Overview

  • Swift said Kelce installed blackout drapes across every window so she could not see a floral “secret garden” being built in the backyard.
  • She recalled Kelce saying his “heart is racing” and noted she had never seen him nervous before the proposal.
  • The proposal came after their joint New Heights episode in which she announced The Life of a Showgirl.
  • Swift said Kelce had her ring “for a really long time” and custom‑designed it, with multiple outlets attributing the jeweler to Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine.
  • She confirmed Ed Sheeran learned of the engagement via Instagram because he does not use a phone, a detail he later affirmed.
