Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Engaged: Check Out Her Massive Ring

Taylor Swift once sang, “August slipped away into a moment in time, 'cause it was never mine.” Well, this August tells a different story. Just a few days ago, on August 13th, she announced and “broke the internet” with the news of her brand-new album The Life of a Showgirl. But little did we know, Travis Kelce who was sitting right beside her at that moment had even bigger plans in store.

Yes, Swifties, this is not a drill — August 26th 2025 is now officially etched in history as the day our favorite storybook couple, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, announced their engagement via Instagram with the caption “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” — "So High School" playing in your head, right!

“It’s a love story, baby, just say yes.”

The Grammy winner and the Kansas City Chiefs’ player, both 35, became a power couple the moment news of their relationship broke in 2023. Taylor revealed that the New Heights podcast played a surprising role in bringing them together.

Travis had openly gushed many times about how much he liked her before they even met, going the extra mile to make sure she knew it. In true Swiftie fashion, he even made a friendship bracelet (a signature tradition during the Eras Tour) with his phone number on it, just for Taylor.

Fast forward two years, and the fairytale has only grown sweeter. The series of romantic photos from the proposal in the warm, glowy daylight practically screams “I once believed love would be burning red, but it’s golden, like daylight”: from loving embrace filled with the promise of togetherness and new memories, to the magical moment Travis got down on one knee in a beautiful garden, and the massive engagement ring.

“I like shiny things, but I’d marry you with paper rings.”

Now let’s take a moment to talk about the engagement ring. Travis truly chose a ring that feels destined for Taylor, one that reflects both her timeless elegance and her romantic, old-soul aesthetic. Designed by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry, the engagement ring features an antique Old Mine Brilliant–cut diamond, estimated to be in the 9-carat range and to border near $1 million.

The Old Mine Cut, a style popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, is celebrated for its chunky facets and unique vintage sparkle. According to experts, this particular stone appears to be a rare top colorless D grade with flawless clarity — an extraordinary find.

The setting itself is just as meaningful. Hand-engraved with intricate detail, crafted in warm yellow gold, and secured with delicate claw prongs, it blends heirloom charm with modern sophistication. The result is a piece that is not only breathtakingly beautiful but also deeply symbolic, perfectly aligned with the very essence of Taylor Swift’s love for all things vintage.
