Last week’s biggest news, pop icon Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce got officially engaged. The proposal might not have involved a grand fireworks display, a Swiss snowcape, or a public spectacle, but Kelce chose a special setting, his $6 million Leawood mansion, to pop the question. Take a look at Travis Kelce’s luxury mansion.
Travis Kelce’s proposal to Taylor Swift
The couple shared the happy news through a joint Instagram post on August 26, with the caption, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” In the photos, Swift is seen flaunting a dazzling old mine brilliant-cut diamond ring designed by Kindred Lubeck, while wearing a striped gown.
Both 35, Swift and Kelce confirmed their engagement after months of speculation about their relationship, which first became public in 2023. Within hours of the announcement, Travis’s father, Ed Kelce, 74, revealed the heartwarming detail that Swift had been keeping the proposal under wraps for two weeks before they decided to share it with the world.
According to Ed, Travis kept the moment private and romantic. Before heading out for dinner, Kelce invited Swift to the backyard patio of his sprawling estate for a glass of wine. That’s when he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. “It was beautiful,” Ed told News 5.
After the emotional moment, the couple reportedly FaceTimed their parents to share the good news before returning indoors to celebrate. Taylor even prepared dinner for the family, and the group enjoyed the evening together under the patio lights.

Kelce purchased the Leawood property in September 2022, which spans across a massive 17,000 square feet on nearly 3.5 acres within a private gated community. Designed for luxury living and ultimate seclusion, the home features six expansive bedrooms and spa-inspired bathrooms, a state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a plush media lounge and a fully equipped bar among other things.
The outdoor amenities are equally extravagant, similar to a resort-style escape. The backyard showcases a Beverly Hills-inspired pool complete with a hot tub, shaded lounge areas, and an outdoor kitchen. There are also tennis and pickleball courts, a miniature golf course, and a waterfall feature, making it an ideal spot where privacy meets indulgence.
For Swift, known for cherishing her personal space, the estate offers the serenity she prefers. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by lush greenery, it’s an ideal retreat from the spotlight.
