The singer-songwriter started floating engagement ring inspiration to the athlete 18 months ago, so it was only a matter of when and how he would pop the question
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s engagement was a long time coming. During an appearance on Heart Breakfast, the musician revealed that she started floating inspiration for her ring to the athlete about 18 months ago by showing him videos of recent work from designer Kindred Lubeck. They were only a few months into their relationship by then, but when she knew, she knew.
“I just thought her stuff was so cool,” Swift said. “I had shown him a video like a year and a half ago, and he was just paying attention to everything it turns out because when I saw the ring, I was like, ‘I know who made this, I know who made this,’ and also, ‘You listen to me!’”
With the ring sorted, it was only a matter of when and how Kelce would pop the question. He opted for a grand surprise that followed the taping of Swift’s appearance on his New Heights podcast. “He really crushed it in surprising me,” Swift said on The Graham Norton Show. “While we were talking on his podcast, he had a complete garden built out the back of his house to propose in. He went all out, 10 out of 10.
Swift isn’t rushing towards wedding plans. She wants to get through The Life of a Showgirl first. “I want to do the album stuff first, and the wedding is what happens after in terms of planning. I think it will be fun to plan,” she added.
