The first time Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were ever seen in public together was at an NFL game, so it only makes sense that their first outing as an engaged couple would be to go watch some football.
On Thursday night (Aug. 28), the pair — who announced their plans to get married two days prior — stepped out at Arrowhead Stadium to watch the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s alma mater, University of Cincinnati, play against the University of Nebraska. They were joined by Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany.
The pop superstar’s brand new diamond ring sparkled on her left hand as she — dressed in white, of course — sipped on a drink and sat next to the Grotesquerie star, who passionately cheered on the Bearcats. At one point, the Temptations’ “My Girl” came on over the speakers, and one fan captured Travis adorably dancing as Swift bopped along next to him.

The football-game date comes as seemingly the whole country is flooding with excitement for the happy couple, who shared Instagram photos of Travis’ rose-garden proposal on Tuesday (Aug. 26) and wrote, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” Countless fans — and even the president and vice president — shared messages of congratulations, while the athlete and Swift’s announcement quickly broke Instagram records.
Travis is currently gearing up to start his own football season with the Chiefs, who will play their first official game on Sept. 5. Meanwhile, Swift is preparing for the release of her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, which she announced through an appearance on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast just a couple weeks prior to the couple’s engagement announcement.
On the latest installment of the pod, Travis had high praise for his now-fiancée’s LP, sharing that his favorite song is “Opalite.” “I keep listening to this album,” he said on the episode posted Wednesday (Aug. 27). “I know she mentioned that it’s gonna be a lot more pop beats, but it’s just still so poetic in her melodies and her references and stuff. It’s just so much fun to listen to, man. I’ve been dancing all throughout the house.”
