Brittany posted to her Instagram Stories, writing, “Two of the most genuine people meet & fall in love. Just so happy for these two,” accompanied by a white heart and a crying-happy face emoji, expressing her sincere happiness for the newly engaged couple.

Patrick Mahomes, who is set to open his Kansas City-based restaurant 1587 Prime with Kelce this fall, reshared Swift and Kelce’s engagement announcement on his own Instagram Stories. He added three red heart emojis and cleverly chose Swift’s song “So High School”—which she wrote about her relationship with Kelce—as the soundtrack for his post, further highlighting his excitement for their milestone.

The Proposal: A Garden Full of Love

Swift and Kelce, both 35, made their engagement public with a series of photos capturing the beautiful garden proposal. In true Taylor Swift fashion, the announcement was accompanied by a witty caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨.” The playful reference charmed fans and added a personal touch to the couple’s big moment.

A Supportive Friendship

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes have been strong supporters and frequent companions of Swift and Kelce throughout their two-year relationship. From double date nights at the US Open to dinners out in New Orleans, the Mahomeses have often been seen enjoying time with the couple, sharing in their journey and celebrating their love.

Behind the Scenes: How Swift and Kelce Met

The engagement announcement came shortly after Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance on Kelce’s popular “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce. During the episode, Jason playfully asked if it was true that Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid was the matchmaker behind Swift and Kelce’s relationship.

Rather than shutting down the rumor, Swift responded with a smile, “Whatever Andy Reid says we’re gonna stand by. That’s what happened.” Travis Kelce joined in, confirming, “Cupid… Yep. Cupid, Big Red… It’s all the same.” The lighthearted exchange delighted fans and added another layer to the couple’s story.

Swift also shared a memorable moment from their first date during her podcast debut. She recalled, “On our first date, I legitimately asked him what it was like when the Chiefs played the Eagles in the Super Bowl and he looked across the field and saw his brother standing five feet in front of him on the field.” Swift admitted, “He didn’t even look at me. Like, I now know what an insane question that was. He was like, ‘Actually, I’m on the offense and my brother’s on the offense, and I’m only on the field at the same time as the defense.’ I thought everyone was on the field at the same time.” The anecdote showcased Swift’s humor and the couple’s ability to laugh together.
