• Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement on Tuesday, Aug. 26

• The couple first went public with their relationship in 2023

One step closer to “End Game” — Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged!

The “Cruel Summer” singer and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, both 35, announced their engagement in a joint post on Instagram alongside several photos from their floral-filled garden proposal on Tuesday, Aug. 26.

“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” Swift wrote in the caption.

In July, Kelce shared a sweet Instagram post that offered a glimpse at special moments in their relationship. “Had some adventures this offseason, kept it 💯,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 35, wrote in the caption on July 24.

The post featured several photos of the pair in coordinating looks and spending the off-season together among friends. In one photo, the couple wore matching black looks, and eagle-eyed fans noticed a subtle reveal on Kelce’s phone screen in the corner of the photo, which showed him and Swift as each other’s lock screens.

In another photo, Swift humorously tried on Kelce’s thick-framed black glasses for size, as he grinned while sitting next to her.  The pair also sported coordinating baseball caps, with Kelce’s reading “captain” and Swift’s reading “first mate.”

Also featured in the post were several photos of the snowy Montana couples getaway the pair embarked on earlier this year – including a photo of the couple laughing as they sport coordinating black and white fluffy hats.

PEOPLE previously confirmed that the pair were spotted spending time at the Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Mont., alongside mutual friends Erin Andrews and her husband Jarret Stoll.

The pair’s love story began in July 2023 when Kelce attended Swift’s Eras Tour at Arrowhead Stadium, where he plays football for the Kansas City Chiefs. A few weeks after attending the concert, Kelce revealed that he actually tried — and failed — to meet Swift.

He also admitted to being “a little butthurt” that he wasn’t able to execute his plan to deliver a personalized bracelet with his number to Swift. “I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” he said on his New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast.

A few months later, Swift and Kelce sparked dating rumors when she made a surprise appearance at his Chiefs game in September 2023, watching from the tight end’s suite alongside his mother Donna. She was even captured cheering as Kelce scored a touchdown, and the two were seen walking out together after the game.
