Swift and Kelce reportedly have instructed their guests not to bring gifts, according to George Kittle, a tight end for the San Francisco 49ers and a founder of Tight End University, an off-season player summit, with Kelce and Greg Olsen, a retired tight end, in 2021. He spoke about the upcoming wedding at a recent TEU event.

“They said absolutely no gifts,” Kittle told Extra TV. “But I was thinking, Travis, for some reason, really likes old coins, so I might get him an old coin.”

What has the groom said?

In a January 2025 episode of his podcast, Kelce and his brother responded to a listener who asked the hosts to give their opinion on fall weddings, which could conflict with football games — both for fans and players. “I actually don’t know people who have gotten married in the fall,” Kelce said. “All the weddings I’ve been to, and all my friends do it in the summer.”

“I just got to figure out a football game first,” Kelce told Jimmy Fallon of the celebration on a September episode of “New Heights.” He joked that planning a wedding would be easy, “compared to figuring out how to catch a football,” using several expletives.

Fallon also asked about music for the event, inquiring if the couple would hire a D.J.

“We’re live music kind of people,” Kelce said.

When did the pair get engaged?

The couple announced their engagement on Instagram in a joint post on Aug. 26, 2025. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” read the caption, which included a firecracker emoji. (That’s pictograph for Taylor and Travis, or TNT for short.) The post consisted of a series of photos, including Kelce on bended knee before Swift in a garden full of flowers.

Ed Kelce, Travis Kelce’s father, discussed the couple in a televised interview following the announcement and said the engagement had happened a few weeks earlier at a garden in Lee’s Summit, Mo.

When did they start dating?

Kelce attended a performance of Swift’s Eras Tour in Kansas City in July 2023 and later said he was disappointed when he failed to meet the singer after the show. He retold that story on an episode of “New Heights,” the podcast he hosts with his brother, the football player Jason Kelce, that same month. Swift later told Time magazine that she thought Kelce was “metal as hell” for putting her “on blast” on the podcast, and the pair started “hanging out” shortly after the episode aired. Their first public appearance came that fall, when Swift was spotted cheering him on at a Kansas City Chiefs game. Since then, she has become a regular fixture at Kelce’s games, and he even made a cameo appearance onstage during a stop on the Eras Tour in London in June 2024.

What about the ring?
