In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, pop star Taylor Swift, 35, announced her engagement to NFL player Travis Kelce, 36. The couple got engaged shortly after Swift recorded an episode of Kelce's "New Heights" podcast, though Swift revealed this was just a "distraction" and "ruse" to keep her from noticing the elaborate preparations Kelce had made.
Kelce, who had the engagement ring "for a really long time" before proposing, created a lavishly decorated backyard setting for the big moment. Swift recalled that every window in their home was "blacked out" with curtains, and Kelce was uncharacteristically nervous, leading her to suspect something was up. When Kelce asked Swift to go for a walk and have a glass of wine, she realized the reason for his nervousness and said it was the "best possible-case scenario."
Swift expressed her excitement about the engagement, calling Kelce "her favorite person" and saying she gets to "hang out with him forever" now. Kelce also spoke about the proposal, saying he shed "a few tears" and that Swift has "brought excitement and a joy for life" that has made him a "better man."
