That’s Mrs. Americana to you!
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are getting married, and more details on her dazzling engagement ring keep hitting.
The pair announced their engagement news on August 26. Or, as they put it in a joint Instagram post: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
Swift wore a black-and-white striped Ralph Lauren halter dress, brown Louis Vuitton heeled sandals, an LV Damier bracelet, and a gold Cartier Santos Demoiselle Quartz watch with a diamond-encrusted face for her flower-filled engagement to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. But, unsurprisingly, our eyes were trained on her ring.
Kelce worked with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry to design the ring. Kelce popped the question with a brilliant-cut old mine diamond rounded at the corners, which was bezel-set in yellow gold with engraving on the side of the band. Clearly, there was no need to sacrifice any of the four C’s: the colorless diamond took up much of her left ring finger’s real estate.
Speaking on the British radio show Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Emma Bunton on October 3—The Life of a Showgirl’s release day—Swift shared more about her ring.
Swift related that she had shown Kelce Lubeck’s work previously. “I just thought her stuff was so cool, so I had shown him a video a year and a half ago…And he was paying attention to everything it turns out...when I saw the ring I was like [gasp], ‘I know who made that!’…He listens to me! Like, you really know me. I didn’t know what I would want, but he did somehow, and that’s kind of a flex.”
“He did amazing!”
Swift is in excellent company with her bezel-set engagement ring. Earlier this year, Zendaya arrived at the 2025 Golden Globes wearing a button-back Jessica McCormack ring; Charlie McDowell proposed to Lily Collins with a rose-cut bezel from designer Irene Neuwirth. Now, Swift is joining their ranks. (Do we sense the next big engagement ring trend?)
The pop superstar continues to set the world ablaze with the arrival of her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. Swift turned to Bob Mackie to help outfit her in authentic, sparkling Jubilee! showgirl costumes for her album promo, and she’s got a piece of bling to match this era. While this new record is steeped in bright orange tones, we’re expecting to see Swift wearing plenty of white in the near future.
It’s a love story, baby, and Taylor Swift said “yes!”
