Here’s how Travis Kelce spent months planning the proposal that surprised Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce officially proposed to Taylor Swift after secretly planning the romantic gesture for six to eight months, according to the Page Six website. The Kansas City Chiefs star reportedly took the time to ensure jewelers had enough opportunity to craft Swift’s one-of-a-kind engagement ring, which “took a while” to create.

Kelce, 35, proposed to the “Lover” singer, 35, with an old mine brilliant-cut diamond by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry. The elongated stone is set on an engraved yellow gold band and is estimated to be worth seven figures. The ring was reportedly finalized by early July, when Kelce first showed it to his father, Ed Kelce.

Although Travis didn’t drop hints about the proposal, insiders suggest Swift may have suspected it was coming, as the couple often discussed marriage and their future together. Ed, Kelce’s father, revealed that Swift had grown “antsy,” wondering if her boyfriend of two years would pop the question.


Page Six reported that the proposal took place “a couple of weeks ago,” before the couple’s record-breaking “New Heights” podcast episode aired on Aug. 13. Ed Kelce shared that Travis and Swift FaceTimed him on August 10 to share the happy news.

The couple confirmed their engagement publicly with a joint Instagram post, writing: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
