Taylor and Travis Engaged

Selena Gomez couldn't be happier for her "bestie" Taylor Swift getting engaged to Travis Kelce ... gushing on social media to show her excitement.

The actress took to her IG story to re-share the viral shot of Travis down on one knee looking up at Taylor in a garden ... writing, "When bestie gets engaged" coupled with a heart-face emoji.

Selena chose the perfect song to match her mood ... playing Queen's "You're My Best Friend" over the pic.

While Taylor Swift was getting rings, Kayla Nicole was closing her Apple Watch ones ... hitting the gym hard after the world's biggest pop star revealed she had gotten engaged to Travis Kelce.

Kayla -- who dated the Kansas City Chiefs star for roughly five years before he moved on with Swift -- was seen grinding in the weight room just hours after her former man revealed to the world he's slated to wed his famous GF.

Kayla got in some thrusters, some bent-over rows, a few lat pulldowns and some core work ... clearly looking to sweat off the day's biggest news.

Charlie Kirk is dishing advice to Taylor Swift on the heels of her engagement to Travis Kelce ... urging her to "submit to your husband."

The MAGA influencer unloaded on the couple's engagement during his podcast Tuesday ... hoping their marriage will make them both more conservative.

He says part of the reason Taylor is an "annoying liberal" is due to her not being married or having children.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are continuing to feel the love from their celebrity peers ... with both Gracie Abrams and Lil Wayne separately taking moments to congratulate the couple onstage.

Hours after Taylor and Travis shared with the world that they're now engaged, Gracie -- who opened for T Swift on her global "Eras" tour -- took the stage in Mexico City and encouraged her fans to shout "Congratulations" to the happy pair.

After getting an enthusiastic response from the crowd, Gracie noted it felt like Taylor was with them in spirit ... and urged concert attendees to sing out Taylor's part in their hit song, "Us."

10:41 AM PT -- The social media announcement teased a big hint at the couple's engagement timeline. Remember, Travis had longer hair up until the end of July, cutting it during training camp for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Peep the pics, TK has noticeably shorter hair while proposing to Tay ... indicating he must've gotten down on one knee this month.

10:35 AM PT -- Moments after Taylor and Travis announced their big engagement news, TMZ learned the Ralph Lauren black-and-white striped dress Taylor wore for the proposal was already sold out.

Taylor Swift is engaged to Travis Kelce ... take that in!

Taylor and Travis jointly posted photos of the proposal on Instagram ... multiple pics of them in a garden setting, with Travis down on one knee. The caption -- "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨"

The couple set the post to Taylor's fan-favorite song, "So High School" from her "Tortured Poets Department" album ... which makes sense given the song is inspired by their romance.

TMZ has learned the engagement ring is an Old Mine Brilliant Cut. The jewelry designer is Kindred Lubeck ... and sources tell us the jeweler worked with Travis to design the sparkler.

Taylor and Travis' "Love Story" started back in July 2023, after the NFL tight end voiced his disappointment that he wasn't able to meet the pop star at her "Eras" tour stop in Kansas City. Travis made the confession on his "New Heights" podcast, admitting he made a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it for her.

Word got back to Taylor, however, who later called the gesture something out of a "John Hughes movie" during her first "New Heights" podcast appearance in 2025.

The couple made their relationship public in September 2023, when Taylor attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game -- cheering on Travis from his box at Arrowhead Stadium.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few years, you know Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are one of the biggest power couples out there right now.

And it turns out the pop superstar songwriter and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end's love story's gonna keep getting more interesting ... because they announced their engagement in August 2025!

We're going to take a look back at how the happy couple ended up together and see what led to the professional football player getting down on one knee and popping the big question.

We're gonna start off by looking way back to 2016, when Travis said he'd kiss Taylor in a game of "Kiss, Marry, Kill" with AfterBuzz TV ... funny how that worked out, right?

The athlete and the singer didn't officially cross paths for another few years, when the tight end attended his now-fiancée's "Eras" Tour stop in Kansas City, Missouri, which took place in July 2023.

Travis spoke about the experience on his "New Heights" podcast, and said he tried to meet up with Taylor after the show and give her a friendship bracelet personalized with his phone number -- talk about a smooth move! -- but he was unsuccessful.

He said she had to "save her voice" and stuck to not speaking much before or after her concerts ... and he added he "took it personal." Taylor later told Time she thought Travis' call-out was "metal as hell," and they started seeing each other not long after that.

Rumors started swirling within Taylor's fanbase regarding her relationship with Travis when she was spotted at a Chiefs game in September 2023, where she was pictured sitting right next to his mom, Donna.

The singer and the athlete were also photographed walking out of Arrowhead Stadium after the game -- although neither of them gave any confirmation about their relationship at the time.

Taylor later told Time the two had already been dating before she attended the athlete's game and said they'd "had a significant amount of time" together before their fans had any suspicions about their romance.

The singer added neither she nor her partner would ever "be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date" ... hey, privacy's a nice thing to have.

Taylor and Travis became much more open about their relationship in October 2023, when they were spotted holding hands as they left the after-party for a "Saturday Night Live" episode in which they were both guests, making a cameo together.

And if there wasn't enough proof for her fans then ... she planted a kiss on his cheek in a photo shared by the fiancée of one of Travis' teammates shortly afterward.

She actually changed up a set of lyrics from her track "Karma" during an "Eras" Tour stop in Buenos Aires, Argentina in November 2023 to reference Kelce, who was in attendance at the concert.

Oh, and she ran into his arms and gave him a kiss once the show was over, according to People -- if that's not love, we don't know what is!

The pair really opened up to the public about their relationship in 2024, when they began attending high-profile events together -- like Super Bowl LVIII, when Taylor joined Travis on the field after the game.

They made their romance Instagram official four months later when she shared a selfie showing them hanging out with Prince William and two of his kids.

Travis made a much-hyped appearance on stage at an "Eras" Tour stop in London, where he appeared alongside his now-fiancée as she made an outfit change prior to the start of her track "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart."

Taylor shared her opinion about the athlete's performance in the caption of an Instagram post,  where she wrote she was "cracking up/swooning" about his appearance.

Taylor was on deck to see Travis play in Super Bowl LIX in February 2025 -- although the night ended up being a bit of a downer, as the Chiefs ended up losing to the Philadelphia Eagles -- the team Travis' brother Jason used to play for.

The couple bounced back after the defeat, and Travis shared several photos featuring the singer on his Instagram account in July 2025.

Taylor made a much-hyped appearance on the "New Heights" podcast in August 2025, where she announced the title of her 12th album, "The Life Of A Showgirl."

The happy couple locked lips on camera while taping the episode, where Travis' brother screamed when his future sister-in-law revealed the name of her new record.

Alright folks, here's the moment you've probably been waiting for ... Taylor and Travis revealed their engagement by sharing a joint Instagram post in August 2025.

The pair's post included several photos showing them in love in a flower-filled garden.

Oh, and the hitmaker made sure to show off the impressive ring Travis gave her -- and sources told us he'd actually been involved in the piece's design process.
