Kelce’s teammate, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and his wife, Brittany, both posted separate Instagram Stories congratulating the newly engaged couple.

Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, retired Eagles star Jason Kelce, congratulated the couple with a "how it started" vs. "how it's going" post.

"I can’t stop smiling − Travis and Taylor’s engagement feels like a modern fairytale unfolding in real life," Hunt said. "Their love story has captured so many hearts, and now it’s stepping into an even more magical chapter.”

WNBA star Caitlin Clark reposted the engagement on her Instagram Story, along with Swift's song "So High School," playing over it.

Pop star Sabrina Carpenter did the same, adding a handful of white heart emojis.

Outside of the sports world, U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio congratulated the couple and used the chance to advocate for protections for Social Security and Medicare.

"Now that I have your attention − we must do everything we can to protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid before it is too late," she wrote.

And the city of Cleveland's official X account jokingly congratulated its "local man" on his engagement (Kelce is from Cleveland Heights, a suburb of the northeast Ohio city).
