Taylor Swift has announced her engagement to NFL player Travis Kelce after a romantic woodland proposal that was revealed in a five-photo Instagram carousel – www.naijnaira.com reports.
BBC News noted that the post, signed off with a firecracker emoji, has already been liked more than 18 million times, cementing it as one of the biggest celebrity engagement reveals of the year.
The images showed Kelce down on one knee, the couple embracing, and Swift flashing a cushion-cut diamond ring set on a gold band.
Reports in the U.S. suggest the ring came from Artifex Fine Jewelry, with pieces on their site starting around $29,000.
Florists described the setting as a “hidden secret garden,” with roses, hydrangeas, and delphiniums creating a lush, fairytale backdrop for the moment.
Swift added a personal touch by pairing the announcement with her ballad So High School, a track fans believe was written about Kelce.
The post ends on the lyric: “Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me?” — a playful nod to a 2016 interview where Kelce jokingly chose to kiss her in a game.
Kelce’s father, Ed, revealed that the proposal happened in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, nearly two weeks earlier, describing it as “beautiful” and recalling how the couple FaceTimed family right after.
Swift’s fans, many of whom have grown up alongside her, erupted with emotional reactions online, screaming, crying, and sharing disbelief that the moment was finally real.
Chloe, a TikTok creator with over 70,000 followers, said: “I thought it was AI at first. Then I realized it was really them, and I freaked out.”
Even celebrities and world leaders joined in, with the Prince and Princess of Wales liking the post, while Donald Trump wished the couple “a lot of luck.”
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay congratulated the pair with a cheeky caption: “From one ring to the next… congrats @taylorswift & @killatrav.”
For Swift, the announcement reflects not only love but also the connection she shares with fans, who feel they’ve witnessed every step of her journey.
