Taylor Swift has already shared several intimate details about her engagement and upcoming wedding to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce during the press tour for her "Life of a Showgirl" album, and the record's only been out for a few hours. 

Swift's highly anticipated 12th studio album was released at midnight on Friday, October 3, 2025.

The singer is clearly in one of the happiest eras of her life, in part thank to Kelce, and she isn't holding back, sharing details on everything from her engagement, the ring, and where her upcoming wedding will take place. 

Here's all the secrets she's spilled with Swifties in the past 24 hours. 

Swift says Kelce's proposal was a '10 out of 10' 

One of the biggest bombs Swift's, 35, shared so far is that she couldn't be happier with Kelce's wedding proposal. 

During an interview on the UK’s "Graham Norton Show" on Oct. 3, Swift raved about the moment Kelce pulled out a ring, telling the outlet that the NFL tight end “really crushed it in surprising me."

"While we were talking on his podcast, he had a complete garden built out the back of his house to propose in," she shared, adding, “He went all out—10 out of 10."

Kelce paid attention to Swift's engagement ring clues

The Grammy winner didn't have an exact picture in her mind of what she wanted her engagement ring to look like, however, she dropped enough clues to help Kelce design the perfect ring.

During an Oct. 3 interview with the U.K. radio show “Heart Breakfast," Swift revealed that she told Kelce she liked designer Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry a year and a half before he popped the question. 

“I had shown him a video like, a year and a half ago, and he was just paying attention to everything, it turns out, because when I saw the ring I [gasped]," Swift said. 

“I was like, ‘I know who made this, I know who made this’—and also, you listen to me!” she continued. “It was like, you really know me. I didn’t know what I would want, but he did somehow, and that’s kind of a flex.”

She's looking forward to wedding planning

With an engagement and album release now checked off her bucket list, the official wedding planning will soon begin, and Swift admitted that she's looking forward to it during her appearance on the "Graham Norton" show on Friday. 

“I want to do the album stuff first, and the wedding is what happens after in terms of planning. I think it will be fun to plan," the Grammy winner said. 

A 'destination' wedding is in the works

Rumors about where Swift and Kelce will get married have been circulating ever since their engagement was announced, however, we've now have a clue - straight from the source -on where the wedding will take place.

While she didn't reveal the exact location of the nuptials, the "Life of a Showgirl" star said she and Kelce are planning to have a "destination" wedding during an Oct. 3 interview with BBC Radio 1 Breakfast

She also dished that her close friend, singer Ed Sheeran, 34, will likely perform on her big day. 

“I mean, it would be hard to keep him from it I think!” Swift said. “That’s the thing he’s like ‘I’m always being asked to sing at weddings’ and you’re like, ‘Ed if there’s a stage you know that you’ll be on it!’”

“That’s the fun thing about our friendship is we both love performing and we love writing and we love singing,” Swift continued. “It’s actually not that hard to talk either of us into performing at anything!”

Her 'busy' friends will make bachelorette party planning difficult

You would think that Swift would have plenty of A-list celebrities surrounding her during this special time, as her bestie girl squad includes the likes of Selena Gomez, Sabrina Carpenter, Gigi Hadid, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes wife, Brittany Mahomes, Ice Spice, and Sophie Turner. 

However, the singer says she's not sure what she'll be able to pull off for a bachelorette party, as most of her famous friends are busy with their own lives. 

Speaking on the UK radio show “Heart Breakfast,” Swift told Spice Girl Emma Bunton that her friends are "scattered across the world." 

“You would think that I had been the type of person who would have obsessed over the idea of a wedding my whole life, but I actually never thought about what I would ever do or what I would want until I met the person, so I haven’t even thought about that, doing a hen do or whatever,” she said.

“This is the first time I have thought about it,” she continued, adding of her friends are “so fun, but so busy.”
