It’s the Instagram post heard around the world: Taylor Swift’s engagement to Travis Kelce is official. Blondie was kind enough to give us the money shot, too: her gorgeous diamond ring.
In one of the photos Swift posted on social media announcing the proposal, she shared a close-up of the cushion cut stone on a yellow gold band.

Here’s everything we know about the sparkler, to be updated as we sleuth out more info.
Taylor Swift’s engagement ring is best described as an “elongated modified cushion” cut.
We don’t have the full ring deets quite yet, but luckily we have experts on our side to give us their best estimates.
Daniela Tarantino, VP of merchandising at James Allen and Blue Nile, tells Glamour that the cut of the diamond appears to be unique to the ring, but is similar to an “elongated modified cushion” cut.
Cushion cut rings are known for their “soft, pillow-like shape,” according to Ring Concierge, which notes that this cut offers more variations and personalizations than other varieties.
The ring has a yellow gold setting.
If Swift is any indication, gold jewelry’s chokehold on the culture isn’t going anywhere, despite silver’s rise over the past few seasons.
Tay’s diamond is set in a yellow gold setting that is simple yet elegant.
The ring aligns with the “old mine cut” trend.
Also known as “miner’s cut,” this trendy style hearkens back to the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
It’s the perfect choice for brides-to-be who seek to have a ring that gives off a vintage, antique vibe.
The ring is likely about 10-15 carats.
Based on just the photo, Tarantino says that’s her best guess. She also has an estimate for how much this ring could have cost KillaTrav: a cool $750,000 to $1,000,000.
