LOS ANGELES — Pop superstar Taylor Swift and National Football League player Travis Kelce are engaged to be married, the couple announced on social media on Tuesday.

In a joint Instagram post, the pair wrote: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” along with photos showing the Kansas City Chiefs player proposing to Swift.

Photos showed the American couple in a garden of pink and white flowers. One image showed Kelce on one knee looking up at Swift, and another featured a large ring on Swift’s left hand. A snippet of Swift’s song “So High School” played in the background of the post.

The engagement was welcomed on social media, with more than 17 million likes on the Instagram post by Tuesday afternoon. The NFL offered congratulations.

No wedding date was announced.

Swift has won 14 Grammys, including an unparalleled four album of the year trophies. Kelce is a tight end who has helped the Chiefs win three Super Bowls and made his career catching passes from star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Swift and Kelce are 35.

The two started dating in 2023 after the singer performed at Arrowhead Stadium – home of Kelce’s Chiefs. He explained on the “New Heights” podcast at the time that he was disappointed he did not have a chance to meet her and give her his phone number at the show.

Swift said she was charmed by the public declaration of interest. The gesture made her feel like she was “in an ‘80s John Hughes movie, and he was just like, standing outside of my window with a boombox and being like, ‘I want to date you,’” she said on a recent “New Heights” episode.
