In early October 2025, multi-Grammy winner Taylor Swift revealed the details of her fiancé Travis Kelce's fairytale proposal. The 35-year-old NFL star had constructed an elaborate garden scene at his home to propose to the 35-year-old singer in August 2023.
While the couple were recording an episode of Kelce's podcast, "New Heights," he had secretly built an "enchanted garden" in his backyard, complete with a 20-foot domed arboretum, boulders, river rocks, and thousands of flowers including 1,200 roses. Floral experts estimate the setup likely cost up to $38,000.
The couple, who first connected in 2023 after Kelce tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet at one of her concerts, announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post on August 26, 2023. In the photos, Kelce can be seen down on one knee as Swift cradles his face in the sweet moment, surrounded by the lush garden.
