Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce get engaged, sharing photos

▶ Watch Video: Details on Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce engagement announcement

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce revealed Tuesday they are engaged, sharing images of the ring and a photo shoot in a garden filled with pink and white roses. 

“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the couple captioned a joint post on Instagram.

The 14-time Grammy winner and Kansas City Chiefs tight end began dating in 2023 — after Kelce attended one of Swift’s Eras Tour shows in Kansas City.

After the concert, in an episode of his podcast, “New Heights,” with his brother and former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce, Travis Kelce said he was “butthurt” because he didn’t get to meet Swift and give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it. Friendship bracelets became a popular item to wear and trade at the Eras Tour as fans took a lyric in Swift’s song “You’re On Your Own, Kid” to heart. 

Months later, rumors spread that the two were dating, and Swift started attending Kelce’s games.

Ed Kelce, Travis’ father, told WEWS-TV in Cleveland that the engagement occurred about two weeks ago. Ed said the couple informed him via FaceTime while Ed was attending a public Eagles practice.

“At that practice … I got a FaceTime call from them, and as soon as I saw the FaceTime, I saw it was Travis, and then I saw Taylor there with him, I knew what they were going to say, and they, you know, let us know,” Ed Kelce said. 

In the latest “New Heights” episode, in which Swift announced her upcoming 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” Swift said she owed a lot to the podcast. 

“This podcast got me a boyfriend ever since Travis decided to use it as his personal dating app about two years ago,” she said. 

The pop star joked that Kelce threw a “man tantrum” about not meeting her at the concert, but then she thought, “If this guy isn’t crazy, which is a big if, this is sort of what I’ve been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.”

“And I was sitting there at the Eras Tour listening to every single one of those songs like, ‘I know what she wants me to do,'” Kelce said. 

The post announcing their proposal is set to Swift’s song “So High School,” from her album “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology,” which she released last year. 

Fans believe the song is about Kelce. In one lyric, Swift sings: “You know how to ball, I know Aristotle.”

The engagement ring was designed by Kindred Lubeck, Swift’s publicist Tree Paine told The Associated Press. The diamond is an old mine brilliant cut, she said.

Lubeck, who is based in New York and operates Artifex Fine Jewelry, is the daughter of Jay Lubeck, a well-known goldsmith in Neptune Beach, Florida.

Lindsay Clancy murder trial resumes with testimony from psychiatric nurse who examined her

By CNN
(CNN) — A psychiatric nurse practitioner who examined Lindsay Clancy months before she killed her three children took the stand Tuesday in the third week of the Massachusetts mother’s murder trial.Rebecca Jollotta, a psychiatric nurse practitioner with South Shore Hospital’s perinatal behavioral health program, testified she had a telehealth visit with Clancy in November 2022. Clancy appeared anxious and was struggling to get a full night sleep. Still, she had no signs of mania or psychosis, and her thought process was “linear” and “goal-directed,” Jollotta testified.The testimony comes three weeks into Clancy’s trial on three counts of murder in the killings of her children Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months. The trial has featured testimony about the lead-up to the killings and Clancy’s struggles with post-partum anxiety, depression and insomnia — and stoked a nationwide conversation about the issues.Prosecutors have argued Clancy “acted intentionally, rationally and swiftly” when she fatally strangled her three children and attempted suicide at their Duxbury home on January 24, 2023.Her defense attorneys have argued what’s known as the “insanity defense,” saying she is not criminally responsible because she was in the midst of a psychotic episode stemming from postpartum mental illness.Her family, friends and mental health professionals have said Clancy did not show any signs of psychosis before or after the killings and did not believe she was a danger to herself or her children. Yet those who knew her unanimously said she was a caring mother whose mental health was deteriorating. Clancy told one friend in January 2023 that a medication caused her to have “some dark thoughts,” the friend testified.Tuesday marks Clancy’s 36th birthday.Testimony began two weeks ago with opening statements and an emotional witness account from her husband, Patrick Clancy. Last week’s testimony focused on her mental health status before and after the killings, her physical injuries from her suicide attempt, and her friends’ and family’s concerns.The trial is expected to last six to eight weeks. Clancy faces life in prison if convicted of murder. She is being held at the public Tewksbury Hospital in Massachusetts, which specializes in treating those with mental illness.Defense sharply questions mental health expertsOn Monday, Clancy’s defense attorney Kevin Reddington sharply questioned Dr. Jennifer Tufts, Clancy’s primary psychiatrist, about her treatment plan and her expertise.Tufts saw Clancy 14 times between September 2022 to January 2023, repeatedly adjusting her prescriptions as Clancy grappled with anxiety, depression and insomnia. She also provided counseling support.“I listened to her, listened to her concerns, provided support, tried to provide her with hope that things would improve,” Tufts said.Reddington challenged Tufts on her qualifications and experience, her use of telemedicine, her many prescriptions and her notes. He repeatedly cut off her answers with follow-up questions, leading to objections from the prosecution and admonishments from the judge.“If I ask you a question, respectfully, can you just not go on and ramble? Answer yes or no, that’s all,” Reddington said.“It’s sometimes impossible to do that,” Tufts responded.Tufts finished her residency in August 2022 and saw Clancy for the first time a month later. She testified she had treated at least 50 people with postpartum issues during her residency.Tufts’ and Clancy’s 14 visits were all conducted via telemedicine, and this trial is the first time they have been in the same room together, Tufts testified. Reddington challenged her use of telemedicine and noted she couldn’t even give Clancy a hug over the computer.“I couldn’t give her a hug, but that’s not actually something psychiatrists typically do with patients,” Tufts said.Tufts said she almost exclusively relied on Clancy’s own statements in evaluating her mental health. She did not speak to Clancy’s parents and only spoke to her husband at one session in December 2022.On Monday afternoon, Julie Paul, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, testified that Clancy in November 2022 had anxiety, felt overwhelmed and had racing thoughts, conditions that are “very typical” for postpartum patients. Paul prescribed Clancy Prozac and advised her that the medication takes some time to see benefits, but within days Clancy reported she wanted to switch to a different medication.It was part of a pattern for Clancy, who took about a dozen different medications between late 2022 and January 2023, according to testimony in the trial.“I keep reaching out to different people and not sticking with the plan,” Clancy said, according to Tufts.This is a developing story and will be updated.The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.
