While the Chiefs may be taking L’s, Travis Kelce somehow finds a way to take a W. Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce and his girlfriend mega star Taylor Swift recently announced their engagement on Instagram with the caption reading “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” These two love birds have been warming our hearts for two years dating back to July 7 2023 during Taylor Swift’s Eras tour. Swift was performing a concert at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs. On Travis’s and his brother Jason’s podcast New Heights, Travis reveaeds that he attempted to give Taylor a friendship bracelet, but he was not able to. Luck would end up being on his side as Taylor would be spotted at the Chiefs’ Sunday Night Football game against the New York Jets, confirming the rumors that were being talked about for weeks. Later during Super Bowl LVII, Kelce and Swift would share their first kiss in public after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22. Later in June of 2024, Kelce would make an appearance onstage at Taylor Swift’s “Tortured Poets Departments” tour in Wembley Stadium, London. On August 12th, 2025, Swift would announce her new album The Life of a Show Girl on the New Heights podcast, and two weeks later on August 12th, Kelce and Swift would publicly announce their engagement on Instagram. Many people have voiced support and frustration towards the couple after their engagement. Many Swifites are excited that their girl Tay-tay has finally settled down, while many NFL fans including Kansas City Chiefs fans have voiced their frustrations not wanting to see Taylor Swift in NFL-related content during games, and on their social media posts. Senior Jayden Zamora who is a Taylor Swift and NFL fan says “I harbor a most profound aversion to Travis Kelce, as though his very presence were an affront to my sensibilities, for he was entwined himself with the illustrious Taylor Swift, and thus earned the ire of my jealous regard.” While Junior Jana Al Achkar says “while I did not expect their relationship to be serious enough for them to get engaged, I was still surprised to hear the news and I hope they have a long-lasting happy marriage.” An anonymous Kansas City Chiefs fan feels that Taylor Swift is taking attention away from the Chiefs players like wide receivers Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy, and focusing all the attention on Travis and Taylor to adhere to the demands of the Swifties. On the other hand, many Swifties have been flocking on social media to voice their opinions. One anonymous X user writes “Omg wait the post divorce album is going to hitttttt” while another user writes “From concerts to touchdowns, now wedding bells! Truly a match made in heaven.” After 11 albums, 14 grammys, 3 superbowl wins, and one reality tv dating show, these two love birds have finally decided to settle down and continue their lives together as Taylor Swift and Taylor Swift’s husband. Best of luck to you Mr. Swift, you’re just going to have to shake it off.
