Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Are Engaged—So Which of Their Stunning Homes Will Become Their Marital Property?

Songstress Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are getting married after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end got down on one knee and proposed in a garden full of roses.

Swift and Kelce, both 35, revealed the exciting news of their romance in a joint Instagram post, which saw the “So High School” singer posing in a striped gown.

The NFL star, who began dating the “Lover” hitmaker in 2023, popped the question with a stunning diamond rock that perfectly matched Swift’s other sparkler that Kelce has gifted her.

They captioned the Instagram post, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

According to TMZ, the sparkler on Swift’s finger is an old mine brilliant cut and the designer is Kindred Lubeck.

Kelce perfectly matched Swift’s chic aesthetic by sporting a navy blue collared shirt and a pair of white pants.

The singer appeared to be overjoyed with the proposal as she embraced Kelce in a slew of photos while showing off her stunning diamond ring.

In one photo, Kelce could be seen kneeling among a garden of roses while Swift appeared shocked.

In another snap, Swift softly grabbed her lover’s face as she leaned in to give him a hug.

The newly engaged couple even posed for a photo on a swing, where Swift laid her head on Kelce’s shoulder and gave the camera a soft smile.

According to Page Six, the engagement has been in the works for quite some time, with Kelce having reportedly asked Swift’s dad, Scott, for her hand in marriage just months after they began dating.

The news of their engagement comes after Swift made a surprise appearance on her now-fiance’s podcast, “New Heights,” which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce.

It also comes just months after Swift achieved her goal of buying back the rights to her music.

At the end of May, Swift bought back the rights to her first six albums in a historic deal that is reported to have cost the chart-topper a staggering $360 million—after a yearslong fight in which she battled to regain control of her entire song catalog.

The “Love Song” singer revealed the happy news in a letter shared on her website, in which she explained that she reached a deal with Shamrock Capital to take ownership of the music, describing it as her “greatest dream” coming true.

“I’ve been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I’ve ever made … now belongs … to me,” she said in the letter.

Her announcement came after a fraught few years, during which Swift’s first six albums were sold out from under her to Justin Bieber‘s longtime manager, Scooter Braun, by her former record label, Big Machine, a deal that saw her taking drastic action by rerecording the albums included in the contract and releasing them as part of a “Taylor’s Version” collection.

“To my fans, you know how important this has been to me—so much so that I meticulously rerecorded and released four of my albums, calling them ‘Taylor’s Version,'” the hitmaker went on in her letter.

For the podcast, Swift joined her boyfriend at his $20 million rented mansion in Boca Raton, FL.

According to Us Weekly, the happy couple see Florida as the perfect “escape,” where they can relax in privacy without feeling that the eyes of the world are on them at all times.

“Florida has been the perfect escape for them,” an unnamed insider told the outlet. “Taylor has been coming and going to Florida and is still spending a lot of her time in [New York City].”

A second source added: “She is trying to spend as much time with him as she can by going to Boca. They are doing stuff separately out of necessity because of his training, but when they find time to connect, it’s intentional and meaningful.”

Kelce is said to have taken up residence at an extravagant property inside an exclusive gated community, with the Daily Mail reporting that he was busy focusing on fitness and health in a bid to retake the Super Bowl championship that he and his team lost in a devastating matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

With rumors circulating that the upcoming NFL season could be Kelce’s last, an unnamed insider told the publication that he is focusing his time in the Sunshine State on ensuring he’s in the best possible physical and mental condition to go out with a bang.

“Travis is keeping the noise out and putting in the work. If this is his final year in the NFL, he’s determined to go out on a high,” the source said.

To that end, Kelce and his pals are understood to be spending much of their time at the rented property, which was built in 2020 and last sold for $15 million in June 2023. Estimates suggest it could be worth $18 million to $20 million today.

The enormous dwelling, which is located in the Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, certainly provides a luxurious backdrop for Kelce’s rigorous health and fitness program, which is said to include extensive workouts and a strict diet.

Both Swift and Kelce boast impressive property portfolios, with the pair likely to make one of their lavish pads their martial home.

Swift has almost as many homes as she does albums, having built up an incredible collection of properties during her legendary career—from Nashville to New York City.

One of the first properties Swift snapped up was a chic penthouse in Nashville’s Music Row, which she purchased for $1.9 million in 2009.

The penthouse sprawls across 3,240 square feet and boasts three bedrooms, high ceilings, and an open floor plan.

It also comes complete with a heated resort-style pool.

Two years later, Swift bought a mansion in the Northumberland Estate neighborhood of Nashville for $2.5 million.

The property measures 5,600 square feet and comes complete with four bedrooms and five bathrooms.

A 2,000-square-foot guesthouse sits adjacent to the abode.

Swift also holds the keys to a luxurious Beverly Hills, CA, home, which she purchased in 2015 for $25 million. The lavish spread was once owned by movie producer Samuel Goldwyn, co-founder of Goldwyn Pictures.

In 2014, Swift turned her sights to New York City as she snapped up two penthouses in the chic Tribeca neighborhood for about $20 million and combined them into a nine-bedroom, nine-bath abode with beamed ceilings, a curved staircase, and enormous windows.

She purchased a third unit in the building a few years later for $9.75 million, increasing her Tribeca takeover by over 3,500 square feet.

Then, in 2017, the pop star splurged on an adjacent townhouse, paying $18 million for the three-story mansion measuring 5,000 square feet, which joins her growing urban empire.

While her Tribeca pad was undergoing renovation, she resided in a West Village townhouse, which she reportedly paid $38,000 a month to live in from 2016-2017.

The rental boasts 5,500 square feet, four bedrooms, five bathrooms, two powder rooms, a kitchen, a rooftop, and an indoor pool.

In 2013, Swift bought a $17.75 million beachside estate in Rhode Island, which quickly became her go-to vacation getaway.

The residence—which is located in the exclusive enclave of Watch Hill in Westerly and is known locally as “Holiday House”—currently sprawls across 11,000 square feet and features seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

However, it was previously revealed that Swift had plans to renovate the abode to expand it with an additional bedroom, while transforming one of the existing rooms into an “enlarged bedroom suite.” 

In total, the project will add 400 square feet to the property.

It is unclear when the construction will begin. However, the renovation plans were drawn up on Nov. 25 and Dec. 4, 2024, before Swift’s final “Eras Tour” show on Dec. 8, with an expiration date of Dec. 4, 2025.

The renovation will be completed by a team of Rhode Island–based contractors, led by David W. Shafovaloff, who is located in Hope Valley and describes himself on LinkedIn as a “self-employed construction project manager” who specializes in “high end residential and commercial construction.”

In addition to its many bedrooms and bathrooms, Swift’s opulent home currently features a 36-foot-long parlor and an octagonal dining room.

The extravagant seaside estate was built in 1930 and once belonged to composer and socialite Rebekah Harkness, who was married to William Hale “Bill” Harkness.

Swift’s abode has been described as the ultimate getaway, offering “700 feet of private beachfront” and eight fireplaces, per its original listing.

Then, of course, there is the celebrity cachet that Swift’s ownership of the home has added. Over the years, the property has played host to many of Swift’s star-studded events, including her iconic Fourth of July parties, which have welcomed a long list of A-listers such as Selena Gomez and Blake Lively.

More recently, Swift and Kelce were seen lounging around her Rhode Island home with Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, in August 2024, as well as the Kansas City Chiefs star’s teammate Patrick Mahomes and his brother, Jason.

Meanwhile, in addition to his Florida dwelling, Kelce also owns a 4,200-square-foot mansion in the Briarcliff West neighborhood of Kansas City that he purchased for $995,000 in 2019.
