Travis Kelce has officially told Taylor Swift, “You Belong With Me” forever.
The NFL star popped the question on Tuesday, asking the pop star to marry him.
In a joint Instagram post, the happy couple captioned photos of them getting engaged with, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
Kelce and Swift have been romantically linked since the late summer of 2023, with their relationship going public in September of that year.
Friendship bracelet
While fans don’t know exactly how and when they got together, Swift previously confirmed that they started dating shortly after Kelce mentioned her on his New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce, in July 2023.
At the time, he talked about his failed attempt to give the singer a friendship bracelet with his number on it at her Kansas City Eras Tour stop.
Since then, the “Fortnight” singer has regularly been seen attending the tightend’s Kansas City Chiefs games during NFL seasons, cheering on her man from the stands with friends and family always nearby.
Onstage
Kelce also popped up at Swift’s Eras Tour shows throughout its nearly two-year run to support his girlfriend, singing along to her songs in the crowd, wearing friendship bracelets and all.
During one of her shows in London in 2024, the football star even made a surprise appearance onstage during a performance of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”
After the Eras Tour wrapped in December 2024, the pair maintained a low profile as they continued to grow their connection, making occasional public appearances for date nights and events.
Fans also waited for years for the couple to make their red carpet debut, and they finally did in June 2025, but in their own casual style, at the opening night ceremony for Kelce’s Tight End University in Nashville.
While the couple keeps most of their relationships private, they both have never shied away from showing their love and support for one another, even in the most subtle ways. And for Swift, who has built her career on writing and singing relatable songs about love and heartbreak, she can now say she’s finally found her prince charming.
Wish the couple congratulations below, by …
