Pop singer Taylor Swift and NFL Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce announced their engagement on social media on Tuesday, receiving congratulations from the sports community. The celebrity couple, who went public with their relationship in 2023, were congratulated by the Chiefs, with whom Kelce has won three Super Bowl titles, most recently last year.

“Today is a fairytale," the Chiefs posted on social media with heart and engagement ring emojis. “Congrats to Travis and Taylor — we’re excited to have you as a permanent member of the Chiefs Kingdom family!"

The NFL also joined in, posting on X, “Congratulations to Travis and Taylor," along with a photo of Kelce on his knees before Swift in a flower-filled garden.

The league shared a video clip of Swift with Kelce amid falling Super Bowl victory confetti, with the singer saying, “This is so crazy. I cannot believe this is really happening. I’m in shock," accompanied by an NFL caption reading, “Same."

Chiefs defensive end Michael Danna, during a news conference as the engagement news broke, said, “I don’t know nothing."

“Man, it’s incredible. I was caught off guard but you know, great for them," Danna added.

“That’s a blessing. Any time you find that type of joy, blessing, love — that’s a beautiful thing."

Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, posted on Instagram: “Two of the most genuine people meet & fall in love. Just so happy for these two."

The ATP Tour posted a video of Swift and Kelce at the US Open tennis tournament saying congratulations and added: “This is the moment we knew they were meant to be."

Major League Baseball’s Cleveland Guardians had a humorous take on the news, which came just after MLB announced the 2026 season schedule.

“Thanks a lot, Taylor Swift. Now no one cares that next year’s schedule is out," the Guardians posted on X.

The NBA’s Boston Celtics did a countdown regarding Swift, the debut of her next album, and the upcoming season, posting on X: “Days since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got engaged: 0. Days until The Life of a Showgirl drops: 37. Days until Celtics basketball: 56."

Jarrett Payton, son of legendary Chicago running back Walter Payton, posted a 2023 video of Swift walking with Kelce and sought a wedding invitation.

“I captured the first vid of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce together back in 2023. This vid literally broke the internet," Payton posted on X.

“Congrats to them on their engagement. I think I deserve an invite to the wedding. Just saying."

The US Ryder Cup golf team, whose six captain’s picks for next month’s showdown against Europe are set to be announced on Wednesday, thanked Swift and Kelce for avoiding an announcement conflict.

“Thank you, Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce for getting your little news pushed through today," the team posted, claiming, “The BIG news is coming tomorrow."
