Pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce, both 35, officially announced their engagement on August 27 (Vietnam time) through a joint Instagram post.

The admiration from the British Royal Family for Taylor Swift is not new. On his birthday in June 2024, Prince William brought Prince George (12) and Princess Charlotte (10) to see Swift’s Eras Tour concert in London. Photos of the Prince and Princess dancing to Shake It Off went viral on social media. After the show, the royal trio stayed backstage to take photos with Taylor and Travis — a moment later widely shared on Instagram.

Travis and Jason Kelce later recounted the encounter on their New Heights podcast, highlighting Princess Charlotte as the “real star.” Jason even emphasized: “Prince William was great, but the highlight was Princess Charlotte. She’s absolutely adorable.”

It wasn’t just Prince William and Princess Kate who showed support. Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is also a longtime Swiftie. In 2023, she attended the Eras Tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. According to Page Six, she went with her close friend Lucy Fraser, fully immersing herself in the atmosphere and even standing up to sing along to You Belong With Me.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance began in the summer of 2023, when Travis publicly admitted on his podcast that he had tried to give Taylor a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it during her Eras Tour. Not long after, the singer was spotted cheering for him in the stands at an NFL game, marking the start of their public relationship.

In the early hours of August 27 (Vietnam time), social media exploded when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement. On her personal Instagram, the pop superstar shared a series of photos of Kelce proposing romantically in a field of flowers, with a massive diamond ring sparkling on her finger.
