The engagement has been a long time coming, with Taylor openly crediting Travis' persistence and charm since the early days of their relationship.

"He's truly trying to get to know me in a way that's very natural. Very natural, very pure, very normal," she explained. "The way he could make me laugh so immediately about normal things -- he's a vibe booster in everyone's life. He's a human exclamation point."
