After months of capturing hearts on stage and off the field, the world’s pop princess, Taylor Swift and football star, Travis Kelce, have officially sealed their love story with a dazzling “yes”, and the world cannot get enough.

The engagement that broke the internet

Swift and Kelce turned their headline-making romance into a fairytale engagement after the pair took to Instagram on Tuesday, August 26, to announce the exciting news of their engagement.

Kelce’s father, Ed Kelce, revealed all the details about the engagement in a recent interview with “News 5 Cleveland”.

He shared that his son proposed almost two weeks ago in a garden in Lee Summit, Missouri, a suburb of Kansas City.

“He was gonna put it off till this week. I think she was maybe getting a little antsy, but he was gonna put it off until this week to make some grand thing and make it a big, special event.

“And I told him repeatedly that you could do it on the side of the road or any place, that makes it a special event when you get down on one knee and ask her to marry you,” Kelce’s father said.
