27 august 2025 в 18:37
Roman Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey have just reached an important milestone. After months of public appearances, stadium performances, and countless headlines, the pop star and NFL tight end are officially engaged. The proposal happened shortly after Travis discussed their relationship on his podcast New Heights, and Taylor revealed her plans for a new album, making it a moment that fans won’t forget.
From the beginning of their love story to the exact moment of their engagement, here’s everything you need to know about when Travis popped the question.
Taylor and Travis first sparked rumors of a romance in July 2023, when the Kansas City Chiefs star revealed on his podcast New Heights that he tried (and failed) to give Taylor a friendship bracelet with his phone number at her Eras Tour concert in Kansas City. By September 2023, she was spotted at Arrowhead Stadium, cheering him on, and they quickly became inseparable.
This means the couple had been together just over two years before their engagement in 2025.
The couple officially announced their engagement on Instagram on August 26, 2025, with a playful joint post that read: «Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married».
But as Taylor’s father, Ed Kelsey, revealed in several interviews, the proposal itself happened about two weeks earlier — around August 10, shortly after Taylor announced her new album. It took place at Kelsey’s home in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, in a garden he had decorated with flowers around a gazebo. He asked Swift to come outside for a glass of wine «and that’s when he proposed to her», - creating an intimate, spontaneous moment.
Immediately after she said «yes», - the couple FaceTimed both families to share the news — Ed recalled that he managed to answer the call right before a workout, saying: «They started calling me and their mothers and her parents to make sure everyone knew. So seeing them together — it’s great»
