Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce engaged after NFL superstar pops question in romantic forest proposal

TAYLOR Swift fans were sent into meltdown on Tuesday when the pop star announced her engagement to NFL hunk Travis Kelce.

After calming down, eagle-eyed followers noticed some hidden clues in the engagement photos that suggest Taylor might have known the moment was coming.

Some are even suggesting that Swift was the mastermind behind the whole moment.

The blockbuster news was announced via Instagram, when Taylor posted a series of high-production engagement photos.

We were shown Travis on one knee staring up adoringly at Taylor, the huge diamond ring , and a few very sweet pics of them cuddling up.

Taylor looked immaculate for the occasion – instantly leading people to speculate that she had done herself up especially for the scene.

First of all, people pointed to her manicured nails.

They were freshly painted with a soft pink tone – and clearly not the work of last week.

The engagement ring itself is of course not an indication that the scene was rehearsed – but the other jewellery around it provides some further clues.

Many of Taylor’s other adornments match the huge, rectangular diamond on her fourth finger.

Other jewellery on the pop star’s hands and wrists led to the same conclusion.

Her watch – a Cartier gold Santos Demoiselle – is decorated with small diamonds and sports and elegant timepiece.

This is known to be one of her favourites – and was always the right choice for the special moment.

The hitmaker is also wearing two dainty gold bands and a diamond tennis bracelet on her right hand – which again are in perfect harmony with the new addition.

As a side note, followers were quick to notice that there appears to be a small ‘T’ on the side of the ring.

Some have speculated there might be a matching T on the other side – representing Taylor and Travis.

Fans online pointed out Travis appeared to have recreated the scenes from Taylor’s music video to her song Lover, which came out six years ago this week.

In the video for the 2019 single, she is seen sitting in a garden with identical flowers to the ones he arranged.

Another compelling point is that the pair are wearing matching Ralph Lauren outfits.

This could be a coincidence of course, but it seems more likely that they wanted to look coordinated for the history-making shots.

The £295 black and white Ralph Lauren dress which Taylor was wearing in the photographs immediately sold out after the photos were uploaded.

Travis matched his soon-to-be wife with a short-sleeve, navy-blue cable knit polo shirt also made by the American brand.

In the past, Taylor has favoured Ralph Lauren as a designer – even choosing its mockneck sweatshirt to announce she was “back to the office for the final leg of her Era’s tour.

Accompanying the pictures, Taylor wrote: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” accompanied by her track So High School.

The song, which featured on her last album The Tortured Poets Department, was written about Taylor falling in love with the American football star, also 35.

Insiders said Travis had the ring, which consists of an Old Mine Brilliant Cut Diamond set on a gold band, specially made by female jewellery designer Kindred Lubeck from Artifex Fine Jewellery.
Experts valued the sparkler at up to £1million.

A source said: “The engagement happened recently. It was beautifully romantic.”
