Music superstar Taylor Swift has made her first public appearance wearing her engagement ring from NFL star Travis Kelce.

Swift wore the old-mine brilliant cut diamond ring -- which Kelce designed for her -- at the Cincinnati Bearcats and Nebraska Cornhuskers game Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, where Kelce plays home games as a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Kelce and Swift announced their engagement publicly on Aug. 26 in a joint Instagram post that featured photos from their proposal, which took place earlier in the month in the backyard of Kelce's Missouri home, according to his dad, Ed Kelce.

"Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨," the post's caption read.

The carousel of photos was set to Swift's hit song "So High School," off her 2024 album, "The Tortured Poets Department."

At Thursday night's game, Swift and Kelce were joined in a suite by his older brother Jason Kelce, a retired NFL star who, like Travis Kelce, played college football for the University of Cincinnati.

Neither Swift nor Travis Kelce have commented publicly on their engagement since sharing the news on Instagram.

The couple has been dating since 2023.

The first public confirmation of their relationship came in September 2023, when Swift attended a Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium alongside her future mother-in-law, Donna Kelce.

The couple also recently opened up about their relationship in an episode of Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce's "New Heights" podcast.

"He's just a vibe booster in everyone's life that he's in. He's like a human exclamation point," Swift said in the Aug. 13 episode, during which she also unveiled the release date and cover art for her 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl."
