The Real Reason Taylor Swift Didn't Tell Ed Sheeran About Her Engagement

Taylor Swift’s excitement about her engagement is actually so romantic.

In the weeks since the Life of a Showgirl artist and Travis Kelce announced their engagement, Taylor has been more than happy to gush over the milestone. And when she’s not verbally sharing her excitement, she’s wearing it. 

During her Oct. 6 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, it wasn’t only her silver minidress that blinded viewers: Taylor also sported two diamond encrusted wedding bands on her left pointer finger.

The rings in question were from A.Jaffe, her two-ring stack featuring the jeweler’s East West Set Pear Shaped Eternity Band and the East West Marquise Eternity Band, both from the brand’s wedding ring line. 

Of course, the 35-year-old’s engagement ring was also on full display, earning oohs and aahs from host Jimmy Fallon

The huge sparkler was designed by Kindred Lubreck, whom Taylor previously described as “an amazing jeweler,” noting the artist does “all her engraving by hand.”

And while Taylor herself admitted, during the same Oct. 3 appearance on the Heart Breakfast Show, that she hadn’t given much thought into what she wanted in her future wedding, let alone her engagement ring, she said Travis’ choice was a total touchdown. 

“It was like, ‘You really know me,’” she gushed. “I didn’t know what I would want, but he did somehow and that’s kind of a flex.”

Plus, in choosing Kindred as the designer, Taylor said the Kansas City Chiefs tight end proved how closely he pays attention to her favorite things.

“I had shown him a video,” she explained. “I just thought her stuff was so cool. So I had shown him a video like a year and a half ago and he was just paying attention to everything it turns out.”

She continued, “When I saw the ring, I was like, ‘I know who made that, I know who made that!’ And also, ‘You listen to me.’”

And while the couple have admitted that nothing about their wedding plans is set in stone—other than Taylor wanting a “huge” guest list, in order to include their many loved ones—they have shared a few insights into what their special day might look like. Read on for more.

When is Taylor Swift going to marry Travis Kelce?

It's impossible to picture Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce getting married on a day that isn't laden with meaning for both—or at least for the bride.

"I love numerology. I love math stuff, I love dates," the renowned triskaidekaphile gushed on the Aug. 13 episode of New Heights, her unprecedented two-hour appearance on her fiancé's podcast dropping 13 days before they announced their engagement (but, according to Travis' dad, three days after they informed close friends and family of their new relationship status). "That stuff I find really fun."

Whether Travis, who's turning 36 Oct. 5, remains in the NFL after the 2025 season—the final year under his current contract—will also factor into choosing a wedding date. If he doesn’t retire, then theirs will be off-season nuptials, anytime between the Super Bowl in February and when training camp starts in July.

If Travis does hang up his helmet after his 13th season (whoa, OK, that's just weird), then he's free to tie the knot during Taylor's beloved month of October. Or any other time, though the scheduling picture will become clearer once fans know when—or if—Taylor announces a tour for The Life of a Showgirl. Her 12th studio album drops Oct. 3, and she usually shares tour plans within a month of a new album (as opposed to a "Taylor's version") release.

The Bachelorette Party

While Taylor is known for her infamous squad of friends, she admitted in October 2025 that she has yet to consider hosting a Bachelorette party.

"You would think that I had been that type of person who would have obsessed over the idea of a wedding my whole life," she admitted on Heart radio, "but I actually never thought about what I would ever do or what I would want—until I met the person."

"So, I haven't actually even thought about doing a hen do," she noted of the British version of a Bachelorette party. "This is the first time I have thought about that."

Plus, she added of her gal pals, "They're so fun but they're so busy."

The Dress

When Taylor picks out a white dress, it's going to be one to remember.

Minus the price tags on her designer ensembles and deceptively simple-looking jewelry, the singer's style is relatable-chic, so we're picturing classic-with-a-twist from the likes of Oscar de la Renta, Elie Saab, Louis Vuitton, Zuhair Murad or J. Mendel, all longtime favorite labels.

Then, after she takes her vows in an elegant gown, the 5-foot-10 bride will surely change into a party dress more conducive to dancing all night.

And we eagerly await to see her nods to something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.

The Groom's Attire

Travis does fashion, too, so he is going to have fun with his wedding suit, whatever form it may take.

The fact that he wore shorts to propose (it was a sticky August in Kansas, people) prompted some online dares for him to also wear an elevated pair of short pants down the aisle. But that would be quite the subversive move and he likely doesn’t want to steal attention from the girl standing in a nice dress next to him.

Although, if showing off his knees was important to him…

Assuring that she did not have a tuxedo picked out for her future husband already, Taylor told Cosmopolitan in 2012, "I don't want him to wonder if it even matters if he's there."

The Guests

Family is everything to Taylor and Travis, so the VIPs automatically include their respective parents and brothers. Presumable best man Jason Kelce also shares at least two flower girl-age daughters, Wyatt and Elliotte, with wife Kylie Kelce—though depending on when the big day is, little sister Bennett could grow into the role as well. (Alas, baby Finnley will probably have to sleep this one out.)

We'll see which of Travis' Kansas City Chiefs teammates make the cut, but he was a groomsman at QB Patrick Mahomes' 2022 wedding to Brittany Mahomes, so at the very least one boy from the football team should be there. He also has a loyal coterie of pals he's been cultivating since his Cleveland Heights days, so that golf-and-beer-centric bachelor party is gonna be lit.

As for the bride, childhood bestie Abigail Anderson has remained a mainstay in Taylor's life. And, while her famed squad has evolved over the years, Selena Gomez is still in the inner sourdough-gifting circle, as are Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, despite rumors they've fallen out amid the actress' legal battle.

Not to mention, speaking of potential flower girls, Taylor is godmother to Blake and Ryan's daughters.

The Music

Addressing the band vs. DJ question, Travis said on the Sept. 17 episode of New Heights, "I think we're live music kind of people, you know?"

Ugh, we knew it, we're so on the same page.

And whether or not she takes the night off from performing, the bride has quite a few friends who know their way around a microphone. (We're especially looking at you, Haim.)

But Taylor joked it "would be hard to keep" Ed Sheeran from performing at her wedding. 

"It's like, 'Ed, if there's a stage, you know that you'll be on it,'" she said during her Hits Radio interview in October 2025. "He knows what people want and he wants to give people what they want."

The Rings

Taylor may love Travis so much she'd marry him with paper rings, but that won't be the case.

Once again, if he keeps playing, he may have one of those sporty flexible wedding bands in rotation, but otherwise the scene has been set with the Old Mine Brilliant Cut diamond—by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry—that Travis picked out for his fiancée.

The engagement ring features an elongated center diamond flanked on each side by smaller diamonds, all set in custom-engraved yellow gold—and a perfect match for the $27,300 Cartier watch Taylor was wearing when he proposed.

Head Count

Just how massive will this white veil occasion be?

Avowed Swiftie Nikki Glaser predicted a "big" wedding, telling E! News at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, "It has to be. It's all been leading to this."

At the same time, the comedian reasoned, since Taylor "gets to be a bride every day," attention-wise, the wedding will likely be as private as humanly possible.

“She just wants to celebrate with all her family and friends, and she's got a lot of them," Nikki noted. "I look forward to the helicopter photos that will ruin her day somehow by hovering above."

Once the newlyweds have driven off into the sunset, however, there's no universe in which Taylor doesn’t start sharing scenes from her big day with her devoted fans.
