Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made their first public appearance as an engaged couple — and she’s already marking the beginning of her bridal era.
On Thursday, Aug. 28, the pop megastar was spotted alongside her fiancé at the college football match-up between the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Kelce, 35, played for the Bearcats during his college career at the University of Cincinnati.
Swift, 35, was all smiles as she entered the stadium, wearing a white sweater vest, light-wash pleated denim mini skirt, and knee-high off white boots. Kelce wore a red and white polo shirt paired with a unique Bearcats cap. His Kansas City Chiefs teammate, Patrick Mahomes, and Kelce’s brother, Jason Kelce, were also seen at the game alongside the couple.
Swift and Kelce announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post on Tuesday, Aug. 26, sharing several photos from their floral-filled garden proposal.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” the “Cruel Summer” singer captioned the post.

The ring Kelce proposed with and Swift dons in the photos — an old mine brilliant cut — is one he designed with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry.
In the first photo of their carousel, Kelce can be seen proposing to Swift on bended knee as she lovingly rests one hand on his face. The other snaps feature the pair embracing and sitting on a bench underneath amid the pink and white floral trellis.
Swift made her New Heights podcast debut earlier this month and not only announced her upcoming 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, with the help of her now-fiancé and his brother, Jason, on their podcast, but she also opened up about her relationship with Kelce, including hinting that they live together.

“I knew that he wasn’t crazy the first couple of times that we talked,” she said. “I was just like, he’s truly getting to know me in a way that’s very natural, very pure, very normal.”
Swift also added that Kelce could make her “laugh so immediately, about normal things.”
The “So High School” artist also called him a “vibe booster in everyone’s life that he’s in.”
