Friends and Family React to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Engagement

The "Life of a Showgirl" singer and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared the exciting engagement news on Instagram Tuesday, soundtracked by her The Tortured Poets Department track "So High School," which fans believe is about her romance with the NFL star.

Swift also joked about their love story with a nod to high school stereotypes, writing alongside a dynamite emoji to signify their double T names: "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."

It didn't take long for the couple's close friends to react, including fellow Chiefs family members Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, with Patrick dropping several red heart emojis after reposting the announcement to his Instagram Story.

Brittany, who shares Sterling, 4, Bronze, 2, and Golden, 7 months, with Patrick gushed on her own Story, writing, "Two of the most genuine people meet and fall in love. Just so happy for these two."

The New Heights podcast, hosted by Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, also reacted, sharing a clip from Taylor's recent appearance on the pod with the a quote from the Grammy-winner that read: "This is basically like every song I've ever written since I was a teenager come to life."

Jason addressed the happy news again on the podcast Wednesday, telling listeners: "We did record this podcast on Monday, which was Travis's one day off, so he's not here to address this himself, but we felt it necessary as a team here at New Heights to get together and send Travis and Taylor a giant congratulations for being engaged!"

As the rest of the crew cheered, the former Philadelphia Eagles center continued, "The proposal heard around the world! F--k yeah!"

The Chiefs also reacted, tweeting, "Today is a fairytale ❤️💍.Congrats to Travis and Taylor—we're excited to have you as a permanent member of the Chiefs Kingdom family!"

Travis' mom, Donna Kelce, even weighed in, making a not-so-subtle change to her Facebook profile by updated the banner to a photo of Taylor and Travis as kids with a message atop that read, "They're getting married." Travis' dad, Ed Kelce, meanwhile, told local outlet and ABC affiliate News 5 Cleveland Tuesday that Travis popped the question nearly two weeks ago.

"He was going to put it off till this week … but he was going to put her off till this week to, you know, make some grand thing, to make it a big, special event," Ed revealed. "And I told him repeatedly, you know, you could do it on the side of the road, do it any place that makes it a special event … when you get down on one knee and ask her to marry you."

Taylor's former "Squad" member, Karlie Kloss, also celebrated the news by liking the post announcing their engagement, while Taylor Lautner, Swift's ex-turned-friend reshared a post from the NFL's official Instagram account that featured Swift and Kelce's engagement photo and a photo of them after the Chiefs won the 2024 Super Bowl.

"I cannot believe this is really happening," the post read, which is a quote from Taylor on the field with Travis following the big game. The NFL added, "Same."

Photos from the romantic proposal show Taylor and Travis surrounded by a lush garden of pink, white, and red roses. Another slide gave fans a close-up look at her Old Mine Brilliant Cut ring, designed by Kindred Lubeck.

The engagement has been a long time coming, with Taylor openly crediting Travis' persistence and charm since the early days of their relationship. During her August 13 appearance on New Heights, she teased, "This podcast has done a lot for me, I owe a lot to this podcast. Ever since Travis tried to use it as his personal dating app."

But beyond the jokes, Taylor admitted she was instantly smitten.

"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."

While no official wedding plans have been announced, Martha Stewart has already offered to be the couple's wedding planner, taking to Instagram shortly after the news was announced to solicit her services.

"It's time to call in the ultimate wedding planner," she posted to Instagram beside a photo of the couple's engagement shoot and video of her drinking from a champagne flute.

"The nectar of the gods!" Stewart added as she took a swig from the rose-tinted beverage.
