Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s First Outing Since Their Engagement

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have made their first public appearance as an engaged couple, attending a college football game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Thursday evening. The Cincinnati Bearcats, Kelce’s alma mater, faced the Nebraska Cornhuskers, but the focus of the night inevitably drifted towards the pair in the stands.

Swift, 35, chose a cream cable-knit vest with a Balenciaga denim mini skirt and Louis Vuitton boots, adding a pastel-blue Celine handbag for contrast. Her engagement ring, an old mine brilliant-cut diamond created with jeweller Kindred Lubeck, drew particular attention as it caught the stadium lights.

Kelce, also 35, leaned into the occasion with Bearcats-themed gear layered over a striped Nike x Supreme shirt, a nod to his university years. The couple were joined by his brother Jason and by Patrick and Brittany Mahomes in an executive box, where the group watched the match in characteristically animated fashion.

The outing came only two days after their announcement on Instagram. The joint post, showing Kelce proposing in a flower-filled garden, carried the caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” The light-hearted phrasing struck a chord with followers, and the images circulated widely within hours.

Reactions to their appearance at Arrowhead were equally swift. Fans celebrated their relaxed demeanour, though Nebraska’s athletics account briefly stirred controversy with a mocking post that was quickly deleted.

For Swift, still immersed in her Eras Tour, and Kelce, preparing for the start of a new NFL season, the evening offered a rare interlude. More than the ring or the fashion choices, what stood out was their ease with each other, a quiet confidence that suggested their engagement has already settled into something assured and natural.
