Taylor Swift, 35, recently got engaged to NFL star Travis Kelce, announcing it on Instagram on August 26, 2025. Her engagement post left fans in awe, with Taylor playfully writing:
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
According to Travis’ father, Ed Kelce, the proposal actually happened about two weeks before the announcement. He shared that Travis wanted the proposal to be a special event and was advised on how to make it memorable.
High-School Ex Speaks Up
Amid the engagement buzz, a man named Andy Slye claimed to be one of Taylor’s high-school boyfriends. Posting an old photo with Taylor on X, he expressed surprise at her engagement and shared:
“That feeling when your girlfriend from high school finally gets engaged… I just hope her husband isn’t some handsome buff football player.”
Andy clarified that there’s no public proof he dated Taylor, and some questioned the authenticity of the photo. He also revealed he is happily married, noting that his bond with his wife began over discussions about Taylor’s music:
“I wouldn’t have hit it off with my wife if it weren’t for Taylor. Taylor was a topic the first time we met. Now we film weddings as a husband/wife team.”
The post left Swifties amused and curious, speculating about whether he inspired some of Taylor’s early breakup songs.
