Eagle-eyed Taylor Swift fans spot ‘secret’ detail in engagement ring after Travis Kelce proposal

Taylor Swift’s dazzling new engagement ring could possibly symbolize a secret nod to the early stages of her relationship with Travis Kelce, reminiscent of their shared past.

Upon sharing a collection of love-filled garden photographs marking their engagement, fans promptly examined Swift’s oval-cut diamond, noticing what seemed like the letter ‘T’ inscribed on the ring band.

Based on observations by keen Taylor Swift fans, it seems there’s a slight hidden detail on one side of her band, which appears to be symmetrical on the other. This could be a clever, understated reference to their shared moniker, ‘TnT.’

The theory gathered speed when Swift added an explosive emoji as the caption for her post, which could be interpreted as her acknowledging their powerful nickname.

It’s not unprecedented for the 34-year-old to subtly incorporate a ‘TnT’ symbol into her jewelry designs.

Previously, she often sported a Tiffany & Co. ring with the double “T” logo, and nowadays, she’s usually seen wearing a $6,360 diamond bracelet with the initials “TNT” from Kelce when they’re out in public.

TNT is believed to stand for ‘Taylor and Travis.’ 

Although Swift and Kelce haven’t disclosed the meaning behind the design, there has been a swift spread of conjecture about the ring’s specifics, such as who created it and its price, across various online platforms.

It struck me that the design on the crest atop her letter resembles her engagement ring’s shape! Such an elegant detail! The overall picture is simply breathtaking!!

Another said: ‘Omg I GET the dynamite now!! Thank you i was so confused lol.’ 

Vogue reported that ‘Kelce worked with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry to design the ring.’ 

In the midst of all the thrilling announcements, The Daily Mail contacted various jewelry experts to discover the price tag of this colossal diamond and its distinctive features.

Diamond experts at UK jeweler Steven Stone estimated ‘Taylor’s ring to be worth $700,000.’ 

He described her ring as having a remarkable 12-carat cushion-cut diamond, which combines brightness with a subtle, romantic sophistication due to its elongated shape with softly curved edges. The diamond is set in a golden frame, accompanied by a sleek, polished band that allows the diamond to be the main focus,” he explained.

Stone observed that the design of the item subtly evokes a classic, vintage or antique-like charm.

With its striking diamond, enhanced by the radiant hue of golden yellow, there’s an enduring charm to it. It seems fittingly complementary to Taylor, given her preference for embracing vintage romanticism in her artistry, especially during the Folklore and Evermore periods,” he remarked instead.

Simultaneously, Nilesh Rakholia – a renowned jewelry expert and founder of Abelini, a prestigious jewelry company – estimated that the ring was worth between 750,000 and 1 million pounds.

In September 2023, the pair made their relationship known to the public by attending a Kansas City Chiefs game together, where the singer was seen with Kelce’s mom, Donna.

Ever since that particular day, their love story has been a global sensation. Taylor Swift has been backing Travis Kelce as he made it to not one but two Super Bowl games. Meanwhile, the NFL player has been joining Taylor on her worldwide Eras tour travels.

In the wake of the announcement, Swift, Kelce and her hit Love Story began trending.

Before dating Kelce, Taylor Swift had been in a long-term relationship with actor Joe Alwyn, aged 34, for six years. This relationship concluded in April 2023. Subsequently, she went on a short-term romance with the lead singer of The 1975, Matty Healy, who is also 36 years old.

The announcement of the engagement occurred approximately two weeks following Swift’s reveal of her latest album, titled “The Life of a Showgirl,” during an episode of the Kelce brothers’ podcast named New Heights.

During an exceptionally open conversation, Swift confessed that Kelce seemed rather unconventional when he asked her out so publicly.

In an episode of his podcast, the athlete shared that he planned to attend Taylor Swift’s concert in July 2023, expressing disappointment when they didn’t get a chance to meet. Surprisingly, he had brought a charm for friendship as a gift for her.

As a devoted fan, I liken Kelce to a cherished character from a John Hughes film, playfully suggesting he’s the one serenading outside my window with a boombox, belting out: “I’m smitten by you! Fancy a date? Would you like to go on a date with me? I’ve crafted this friendship bracelet for you. How about it? Shall we give dating a try?

Swift stated: ‘It reminded me of when I used to hope as a teen that something like this might happen in my songs, if this man wasn’t just dreaming – quite a big ‘if’.’

Jason Kelce’s brother inquired of the fearless songwriter, “How could you tell he wasn’t just insane?”, to which she responded playfully, “Jason, he is indeed crazy, but the kind that’s good.
