Taylor Swift's huge engagement ring was 'designed' by Travis Kelce as couple get engaged

Travis Kelce is said to have helped design the engagement ring now worn by his fiancée, Taylor Swift. The couple have just announced that they have got engaged, with the Kansas City Chiefs player having proposed in a garden.

Travis and Taylor, both 35, shared the news with their respective followers in a joint post on Instagram today. It included photos of the couple celebrating together, giving fans a glimpse into the proposal and showcasing the diamond ring.

In the caption of the post, beside a TNT emoji, they wrote on the platform: "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married." The post also included Taylor's song So High School, which was featured on her last album, The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, released last year.

One photo shared by the couple gave a close-up of the ring itself. The engagement jewellery features a silver diamond on a gold band. It was seen sparkling on Taylor's finger as she held hands with her fiancé Travis in the photo.

It's been reported that Travis helped to design the engagement ring, which is said to be of the old mine brilliant cut style. TMZ reports that it's learned that the jewellery was created by Kindred Lubeck, with sources saying that the jeweller worked with groom-to-be Travis on the design.

There's already speculation about how many carats the diamond boasts, though details have yet to be confirmed. Daniela Tarantino, VP of Merchandising of James Allen and Blue Nile, told Marie Claire: "Taylor Swift's gorgeous ring is likely a unique cut just for her, but to our eye it looks similar to an elongated modified cushion. We estimate it's somewhere between 10–15 carats total, set on a yellow gold band."

The ring was also visible in several of the photos shared by Taylor and Travis today. It included one that showed them hugging, with the singer's hand - sporting the ring - placed against her fiancé's head as they held each other close.

The couple's joint post has already amassed more than 12 million likes on the platform. Fans have reacted to the news on social media, including commenting on the ring. One person wrote in a post on X this evening: "That ring is SO Taylor in every way. You did good Trav, you did so so good."

Another said: "Wow the ring is absolutely stunning! Wishing them a lifetime of love & happiness." Sharing their thoughts, a third person responded to the engagement news earlier: "Been staring at Taylor Swift's ring the last 15mins. I love love."

Travis' teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany Mahomes have also reacted. The couple, thought to have become close to Travis and Taylor over the years, responded to the news of their pals' engagement on Instagram.

Patrick used three red heart emojis as the caption whilst sharing the couple's post on his Story. Brittany instead wrote when she shared the post: "Two of the most genuine people meet & fall in love. Just so happy for these two."
