Insiders reckon the glitzy ring set Travis back a whopping £1million

Some are even suggesting that Swift was the mastermind behind the whole moment.

The blockbuster news was announced via Instagram, when Taylor posted a series of high-production engagement photos.

We were shown Travis on one knee staring up adoringly at Taylor, the huge diamond ring, and a few very sweet pics of them cuddling up.

Taylor looked immaculate for the occasion – instantly leading people to speculate that she had done herself up especially for the scene.

First of all, people pointed to her manicured nails.

They were freshly painted with a soft pink tone – and clearly not the work of last week.

The engagement ring itself is of course not an indication that the scene was rehearsed – but the other jewellery around it provides some further clues.

Many of Taylor’s other adornments match the huge, rectangular diamond on her fourth finger.

Other jewellery on the pop star’s hands and wrists led to the same conclusion.

Her watch – a Cartier gold Santos Demoiselle – is decorated with small diamonds and sports and elegant timepiece.

This is known to be one of her favourites – and was always the right choice for the special moment.

The hitmaker is also wearing two dainty gold bands and a diamond tennis bracelet on her right hand – which again are in perfect harmony with the new addition.

As a side note, followers were quick to notice that there appears to be a small ‘T’ on the side of the ring.

Some have speculated there might be a matching T on the other side – representing Taylor and Travis.

Fans online pointed out Travis appeared to have recreated the scenes from Taylor’s music video to her song Lover, which came out six years ago this week.

Another compelling point is that the pair are wearing matching Ralph Lauren outfits.

This could be a coincidence of course, but it seems more likely that they wanted to look coordinated for the history-making shots.

The £295 black and white Ralph Lauren dress which Taylor was wearing in the photographs immediately sold out after the photos were uploaded.

Travis matched his soon-to-be wife with a short-sleeve, navy-blue cable knit polo shirt also made by the American brand.

In the past, Taylor has favoured Ralph Lauren as a designer – even choosing its mockneck sweatshirt to announce she was “back to the office for the final leg of her Era’s tour.

Accompanying the pictures, Taylor wrote: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” accompanied by her track So High School.

The song, which featured on her last album The Tortured Poets Department, was written about Taylor falling in love with the American football star, also 35.

Insiders said Travis had the ring, which consists of an Old Mine Brilliant Cut Diamond set on a gold band, specially made by female jewellery designer Kindred Lubeck from Artifex Fine Jewellery.
Experts valued the sparkler at up to £1million.

A source said: “The engagement happened recently. It was beautifully romantic.”

Travis & Taylor’s engagement details – from pals

TRAVIS Kelce couldn’t hold back his happiness after proposing to Taylor Swift having kept the plans quiet for “months,” a source close to the NFL legend told The U.S. Sun.

Kelce and his pop-star partner dropped the news on Instagram with pictures of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end on one knee with a sparkly diamond ring, which were instantly liked by millions of fans.

The U.S. Sun revealed last summer that Kelce had his eyes on a $250,000 diamond ring, designed with the help of top Paris designer Kindred Lubeck.

An insider close to the couple says keeping the plans private for an extended period had left the 35-year-old stressed.

But after telling the world, Kelce felt a “massive relief” and now heads into the new NFL season on cloud nine, with wedding plans starting.

“It was a very well-kept secret. Only their mothers, fathers, Jason, and Jason’s wife knew about it, as Travis wanted to keep it a ‘women’s circle’ secret for the most part,” the source told The U.S. Sun.

“They helped him with the design and the choice of flowers and the set, and no other friends, agents, or guys knew about it until after it happened.”

Our insider, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, revealed the moment Travis told him.

“He called me and was so excited; he yelled when he told me he had asked for her hand, saying, ‘I did it! Woohoo!’” he added.

“You can tell this is another big step forward in his personal life. He is the happiest man on Earth right now.”

Travis, says the insider, had been planning this memorable moment for a year.
