Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement post sparks record-breaking Instagram buzz.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement has already become one of the most viral celebrity announcements of the year. On Tuesday morning, the couple revealed the news with a joint Instagram post captioned, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
The carousel of five photos showed Kelce down on one knee in a rose-filled garden, Swift flashing her sparkling diamond ring, and the couple sharing a tender embrace. Within hours, the post amassed more than 20 million likes and is climbing rapidly, fuelling speculation that it could soon enter Instagram’s all-time top posts.
Could Swift and Kelce Break Messi’s Record?
According to CNET, Lionel Messi’s 2022 World Cup victory photo currently sits atop Instagram’s leaderboard with over 74 million likes. While Swift and Kelce are still far behind, Swifties and NFL fans combined could make this one of the most historic social media moments.
For context, the second most-liked Instagram photo remains the viral 2019 “egg” that hit 60 million likes. Messi also holds third place with another trophy photo, proving that sports fans dominate the platform. Now, with Taylor Swift’s unmatched global fan base, there is growing chatter that her engagement post could challenge these records in the weeks ahead.
Details on Swift’s Ring and Iconic Outfit
While the post itself made headlines, Swift’s engagement ring sparked its own frenzy online. Jewelry experts revealed the piece is an 8-carat old mine brilliant-cut diamond set in a gold bezel. This antique style was popular during the Georgian and Victorian eras and was custom-designed by jeweler Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry in collaboration with Kelce.
Swift’s fashion choice also drew attention. She wore a $400 silk-blend Polo Ralph Lauren dress paired with Louis Vuitton sandals, a Cartier watch, and her sentimental “TNT” friendship bracelet gifted by Kelce last Christmas. The dress quickly began selling out online, proving her influence once again.
Though no wedding details have been announced, it is already clear the Swift-Kelce celebration will be one of the most-watched celebrity events in recent memory. If Instagram engagement is any measure, their journey to the altar is off to a record-breaking start.
