The announcement comes after nearly two years of a relationship that has been closely followed by both football and pop culture fans. Their romance began in the fall of 2023 and quickly became one of the most talked-about stories in sports and entertainment.
In December 2023, Taylor Swift reflected on the start of their relationship while speaking with Time Magazine after being named Person of the Year. She explained that it all began when Travis Kelce spoke about her on his podcast. “This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she recalled. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
Now, Travis Kelce has taken things to the next level, proposing to his 14-time Grammy Award-winning girlfriend just two weeks after she announced her new album on his podcast — and right before the start of the 2025 NFL season. The timing, as fans have pointed out, feels perfectly in line with the couple’s mix of humor, romance, and pop culture savvy.
The engagement marks the latest milestone in a love story that has unfolded in front of millions, blending the worlds of music and sports in a way that continues to captivate audiences.
