Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announce engagement on Instagram

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged, the couple announced on Instagram on Tuesday.

In a five-photo joint post, the superstar singer and football player revealed their engagement, the fairy-tale culmination of a courtship that for two years has thrilled and fascinated millions around the world, but especially Swifties, the pop star’s enormous and ardent fan base.

“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the caption read, accompanied by an emoji of a dynamite stick.

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday commented on the engagement, wishing Swift and Kelce “a lot of luck”, Reuters reported.

Kelce was a famous football player when the pair met – a star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and a Super Bowl champion – but Swift’s unique level of fame catapulted him into a different orbit entirely.

Their relationship was documented in countless shots of Swift celebrating at Chiefs games and fan videos of Kelce dancing along at Swift’s Eras concert tour as it travelled the globe.
