Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce get engaged with a glamorous diamond ring!

In exciting news, world-famous singer Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce have announced their engagement. This good news came in a shared Instagram post that quickly received over ten million likes. Both, 35 years old, have been a couple since July 2023, when Kelce was present at Swift's spectacular "Eras" concerts in Kansas City and fell in love with the talented musician. The engagement ring Kelce showed off not only completed the romantic moment, but it's now making history - as it's sure to become the number one topic of conversation on social media and beyond. What's particularly notable is that Swift shone in a black and white striped dress by Ralph Lauren, which became a best-seller as soon as it was announced. Schwarzwälder Bote reports that the two are celebrated as symbols of the US sports and music scene.

The timing of the engagement announcement fell on a day when player Mike Danna was the only person in the media to call the engagement a "blessing." Danna also got to praise Swift's homemade Pop-Tarts, which he enjoyed at the team's New Year's party - a small but nice insight into the pop icon's culinary talents. Danna made it clear how good the mood in the team is now that her colleague will be married to a world star. NBC News reports on this positive sentiment among Kansas City Chiefs players.

Public appearances and corporate interest

Over the past year, Swift and Kelce have been spotted together more and more often. Their relationship shows strong mutual support; Kelce supported Swift during her record-breaking tour while also cheering on his football performances. There is constant speculation as to whether Swift's presence at NFL games could increase Kelce's popularity and the sport as a whole. What is certain is that the demand for Kelce's jerseys will have increased significantly in 2023, which will also have a positive impact on the NFL's market development. Together they not only represent a power couple, but also have cultural impact. AP News highlights the evolution of their relationship and the significant events they experienced together, including two Super Bowls.

At their last public appearances, both beam with happiness. Kelce, who often talks about his admiration for Swift on his podcast, has previously called her "his lady." Additionally, Swift previously referenced and paid respect to Kelce in her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. The engagement has also piqued the public's interest and questions about the wedding date and venue remain unanswered until now. US President Donald Trump also didn't miss the opportunity to congratulate the couple.
