“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
The post included a lovely series of photos capturing the romantic moment—a garden proposal filled with lush florals. One image highlights the couple’s joy; another gives a close-up glimpse of Swift’s breathtaking engagement ring—a vintage-inspired Old Mine brilliant-cut diamond set in gold, designed in collaboration with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry.
Jewelry experts estimate the value of Swift’s ring to be as high as $1.3 to $1.5 million, noting its large antique-cut diamond—possibly around 8 carats—and its fittingly timeless aesthetic.
Friends and fans quickly celebrated the news, with Gracie Hunt, daughter of the Chiefs’ CEO, calling the moment a “modern fairytale” and posting her own congratulations on Instagram. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany, close friends of the couple, shared affectionate responses across social media—Mahomes with heart emojis and a cameo of Swift’s song “So High School,” and Brittany calling them “two of the most genuine people”.
The engagement comes nearly two years after Swift and Kelce began dating, officially going public in September 2023 when Swift appeared at a Chiefs game, following Kelce’s Eras Tour effort to get her attention with a friendship bracelet. Since then, they have supported each other at games and concerts—including a memorable moment during the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIII win.

Adding to the milestone, their relationship helped spark Swift’s reveal of her upcoming 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, during an episode of Kelce’s New Heights podcast just weeks prior.
While no wedding date has been announced yet, the engagement—and the ring—have already set social media ablaze, as fans celebrate the next chapter of this high-profile romance.
