Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Shine in First Public Appearance as Engaged Couple at College Football Game

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were first seen in public as an engaged couple on August 28, 2025, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. The pair attended the college football matchup between the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Nebraska Cornhuskers, a game that was sentimental to Kelce, who played for Cincinnati in college.

Swift, in a white sweater vest and blue denim mini skirt, matched Kelce's Bearcats-themed outfit, complete with a vintage cap in honor of his college. The two were also joined by Kelce's brother, Jason Kelce, and Brittany Mahomes, adding to the celebrity presence at the stadium.

Swifties erupted into cheers as Swift waved from the suite, also flaunting her engagement ring—a vintage mine-cut diamond designed by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry. The ring had been introduced in an Instagram photo together earlier in the week, with the caption written humorously: "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."

Although the Bearcats lost by a close margin, 20–17, the night was all about love and legacy. The stadium holds sentimental value for the couple—it's where Kelce first expressed interest in meeting Swift on her Eras Tour and where the relationship of the couple was first made public in 2023.

Social media went into a frenzy, with fans zooming in on Swift's ring to nostalgic glances at the history of the couple. The appearance not only marked a new chapter in their relationship but also sealed their connection with sports, music, and nostalgia.
