Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Make First Public Appearance Post-Engagement
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted together at Arrowhead Stadium, their first public outing since announcing their engagement. The couple, both 35, joined Travis's brother Jason, 37, for a night of college football on August 28, as the University of Cincinnati faced off against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Initially seen on the field, the Kelce brothers were later joined by Swift, who arrived in a chic mini skirt and sleeveless top, accessorized with a stylish handbag. The trio was photographed enjoying the game from the stands, a moment that drew attention from fans and media alike.
Sports reporter Matt Foster couldn't help but reference the recent engagement in his coverage, dubbing Jason Kelce as Travis's "future best man." This playful nod to their family ties added a personal touch to the evening's festivities.
Foster shared clips of the brothers on X, captioning it with enthusiasm for their support of Cincinnati. The footage captured Travis and Jason in high spirits, engaging in conversation along the sidelines of the Kansas City Chiefs' home stadium.
Originally slated to take place in Cincinnati, the game was moved to Arrowhead Stadium after negotiations for other venues fell through. According to reports, Cincinnati Bearcats athletic director John Cunningham described the shift as an "incredible chance" to showcase the team in a prominent NFL venue.
"This game is a unique opportunity that not only significantly benefits the program financially but also puts the Bearcats in the national spotlight," Cunningham stated. His comments reflect a broader strategy to elevate the program amid evolving dynamics in college athletics.
Just hours before the game, Travis hinted at his attendance through an Instagram Story, expressing excitement with a simple yet enthusiastic message: "LFG cats. Arrowheads gonna be rockin!! Take over KC baby!!"
This homecoming event came shortly after Travis and Swift shared their engagement news on August 26. The couple posted stunning images of the proposal featuring an exquisite old mine brilliant cut diamond ring designed by Kindred Lubeck at Artifex Fine Jewelry. Their lighthearted announcement read: "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."
Congratulations poured in from various corners, including Travis's Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes and Swift's close friend Selena Gomez. Even former boyfriend Taylor Lautner and former President Donald Trump extended their well wishes to the couple.
In an interview with ABC affiliate News 5 Cleveland, Travis's father, Ed Kelce, revealed more about the proposal's timing. "Travis actually did the proposal, oh, maybe two weeks, not quite two weeks ago," Ed shared. He noted that his son initially planned to wait for a more elaborate occasion but ultimately decided to pop the question sooner.
As excitement builds around their engagement, the Kansas City Chiefs are set to travel to São Paulo, Brazil, for the NFL season kickoff against the Los Angeles Chargers on September 5 at Corinthians Arena.
