Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married. With that one-line, five-picture Instagram post, signed off with a fire cracker emoji, Taylor Swift announced her engagement to American football player Travis Kelce, sending the internet into a frenzy.

Tuesday's post by the couple - who have been together for two years - has been liked more than 28 million times on the social media platform. NFL star Kelce is pictured getting down on one knee to pop the question to the world-famous music superstar, with the pair gazing into each other's eyes and embracing.

In the third picture in the carousel, Swift, wearing a Ralph Lauren halter neck dress and diamond encrusted Cartier watch, flashes her engagement ring - a cushion cut diamond on a gold band.

According to US reports, the ring was purchased from Artifex Fine Jewelry. Prices for rings on its website start at around $29,000 (£21,506.26).

Photos show the couple surrounded by roses, anemones, delphiniums and hydrangeas which appear to be set up in woodland with strategically placed urns and an archway. Wedding florist Nicola Paul described the setup as simple elegance, not too ostentatious.

The engagement announcement included elements of an Easter egg hunt, with the caption hinting at the initials of the couple.

This announcement speaks to the adoration of Swift's fanbase, exemplifying their excitement and emotional connection to her journey. As she moves into this next phase of her life, fans are eager to share in Swift's happiness at finding love with Kelce, who represents a supportive partner amid her storied relationships. The engagement captures a moment of joy not just for the couple, but for their devoted fans worldwide.
