Taylor Swift explains the struggles in her relationship, says she only managed to date Travis Kelce out of pity and fear of getting old because the person she truly loves doesn’t want her.

Taylor Swift is getting candid about her relationship with Travis Kelce.

While on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday, Dec. 10, the pop superstar opened up about her engagement, sweetly referring to the tight end as “the love of my life.”

During a segment where she was discussing things that have happened to her recently, Swift, 35, said, “getting engaged to the love of my life, getting all my music back. Those were two things that just might never have happened. They could have just never happened. It wasn’t like, ‘Oh, it’s just a matter of time.’ ”

She went on to express her gratitude for her good fortune. “Both of those things could have just never arrived in my life, and I’m so grateful for both of those things happening.”

Swift and Kelce announced that they were set to tie the knot on Tuesday, Aug, 26 with a sweet joint Instagram post captioned, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨.”

Kelce proposed with a ring he designed with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry. The dazzling stone is an “old mine brilliant cut,” which Swift showed off in a series of photos announcing the big news.

Though it was Kelce who made the first move with Swift, since then she’s been open in her public displays of affection for the sports star.

At the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2024, Swift gave a special shout-out to Kelce in her acceptance speech, saying, “Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic. So, I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot because I’ll always remember that.”

After Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs won the AFC championship and earned their spot at the Super Bowl in January 2025, Swift joined him on the field and told him, “I love you. I’m so proud of you.”

During her appearance on New Heights on Aug. 13, Swift also called her then-boyfriend a “vibe booster,” adding that he was “so loyal.”
