Travis' father, Ed, told News 5 Cleveland on Tuesday that his son proposed to Swift at a garden in Lee's Summit, Missouri almost two weeks ago. He knew about Travis' plan months in advance and expected him to propose during the 2024 NFL season.

"Travis actually did the proposal, oh, maybe two weeks, not quite two weeks ago," Ed said. "He was going to put it off till this week. I think she was getting maybe a little antsy, but he was going to put her off till this week, to, you know, make some grand thing, to make it a big special event. And I told him repeatedly, you know, you could do it on the side of the road, do it any place that makes it a special event ... when you get down on one knee and ask her to marry you."

Ed said the couple were about to go to dinner when Travis asked if she wanted to get a glass of wine to set up the moment. They then FaceTimed Ed, who was at a public Philadelphia Eagles practice, to deliver the news. Ed also shared that he hasn't seen Travis happier than he is with his now fiancé.

The couple's engagement comes on the heels of a romance that captivated football and pop culture fans alike since Week 3 of the 2023 NFL season.

In Dec. 2023, Swift reflected on the origin of her oft-dissected relationship with Kelce in an article for Time Magazine Person of the Year.

"This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell," Swift told Time.

"We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I'm grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."

Announcing your engagement to your 14-time Grammy Award-winning girlfriend two weeks after she revealed her new album on your podcast and the week before football season officially commences? So high school, indeed.
