Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce engaged

Pop superstar Taylor Swift has announced she is engaged to her partner Travis Kelce.

In a post on Instagram on Tuesday, Swift wrote: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

She accompanied the post with photos showing Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce proposing to Swift.

The photos showed the pair embracing and holding hands, showing her diamond engagement ring.

Within an hour of it going up, Swift’s post already had more than six million likes.

Swift, who recently concluded her record-breaking Eras Tour, is one of the biggest music stars on the planet with a suite of awards to her name.

Much of her songwriting and back catalogue has been about her previous relationships, with fans poring over the lyrics to try and guess who the subjects of her songs are.

In recent years, she and Kelce have been spotted together at numerous events and the NFL star has also appeared at her concerts.

The announcement of their engagement comes just days after the singer gave a rare insight into her relationship with Kelce during a highly anticipated appearance on his podcast.

During the interview on New Heights, co-hosted with Travis’s brother Jason Kelce, Swift discussed how she and Travis became a couple and talked about their life together.

Near the beginning of the show, Swift was asked why she chose to appear on the podcast, which caters primarily to sports fans.

“This podcast got me a boyfriend,” she said, accusing Travis of using the broadcast as his “personal dating app” to connect with her.

Before they even met, Kelce famously gushed on the podcast about attending one of Swift’s concerts and being disappointed when they couldn’t meet.

He talked about making her a beaded friendship bracelet, which were popular during the Eras Tour, and said he wanted to give her his phone number.

She said the clip, which went viral, felt almost like “he was standing outside of my apartment, holding a boom box saying, ‘I want to go on a date with you'”.

Family and friends then started persuading her to take him up on his offer.

“My relatives, my cousins, were like, ‘Please, please, please, he’s amazing’. There were friends that were like, ‘He’s actually an amazing guy, he’s so great’. There was a lot of people whispering in my ear about you.”

She said it was exactly the moment she had “been writing songs about, wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager”.

“It was wild, but it worked… He’s the good kind of crazy,” she said, calling her boyfriend “a human exclamation point”.

Since the got together, the pair have been regularly spotted together, with Kelce often seen supporting Swift during her record breaking Eras tour.
