Watch: Taylor Swift Celebrates Brittany Mahomes' 30th Birthday in Nashville After EngagementTaylor Swift is celebrating another year of friendship with Brittany Mahomes. Days after she announced her engagement to Travis Kelce, the pop superstar was seen celebrating Brittany's 30th birthday while sitting outside at a restaurant in Nashville. For the occasion, as seen in photos captured by fans and shared on social media, the "Karma" singer donned a plunging black top with thin spaghetti straps. And Brittany-who married Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in March 2022-shared a glimpse into her birthday celebrations on her Instagram Stories, which included a luxurious ride on a private jet. Lyndsay Bell-whose husband is Chiefs tight end Blake Bell-also shared insight into their celebrations by sharing a photo of the birthday girl standing at the top of the jet staircase, which was surrounded by orange and pink balloons. Taylor's latest outing comes three days after the Grammy winner announced that she and Travis are engaged in a joint Instagram post captioned, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."photosTaylor Swift and Travis Kelce: Romance RewindIn a series of ethereal photos, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end could be seen getting down on one knee in a garden covered in pink and white roses. In following pics, Travis and Taylor-wearing Ralph Lauren's Striped Silk Blend Dress-share an embrace and provide a closer look at the Life of a Showgirl singer's gorgeous diamond ring-Old Mine Brilliant Cut-designed by Artifex Fine Jewelry's Kindred Lubeck. And once Brittany and Patrick-who share kids Sterling, 4, Bronze, 2, and Golden, 7 months-heard the big news, they were floored by the milestone. "Two of the most genuine people meet and fall in love," Brittany-who was first introduced to Taylor when she started dating Travis in the summer of 2023-gushed on her Instagram Stories at the time. "Just so happy for these two." Meanwhile, Patrick dropped several red heart emojis after sharing the post to his own Instagram Stories. Soon after, Travis' dad Ed Kelce shared a sneak peek into exactly what happened when his son popped the question. Instagram/Brittany Mahomes"Travis actually did the proposal maybe two weeks-not quite two weeks ago," he told ABC News 5 Cleveland on Aug. 26, adding that Travis was thinking of putting it off "to make some grand thing, to make it a big special event." But as Ed, and even Taylor's own father Scott Swift, told him, "You know, you could do it on the side of the road, do it any place that makes it a special event." So, the 35-year-old asked Taylor to marry him at his home in Lee's Summit, Mo., and even made a floral garden around a gazebo just for the proposal. "He got her out there, they were about to go out to dinner, and he said, 'Let's go out and have a glass of wine,'" Ed continued. "They got out there, and that's when he asked her, and it was beautiful." For a deeper dive into why Taylor and Travis were meant to be, keep reading.

The star tight end's interest in Taylor was first revealed by one of his teammates in a TikTok video posted by the Chiefs in August 2023 (which, in hindsight, was when the pair were secretly dating). Before Travis could answer the prompt of who his celebrity crush was, wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling spilled, "Taylor Swift!" Travis smiled at the camera before holding his finger up to his mustache, saying, "Alright now!" Plus, Travis was just one of many celebs to attend Taylor's record-breaking Eras Tour even before the now-engaged duo kicked off their romance. But more on that enchanting moment in a bit...

She is typically attracted to creative types, including actors (Joe Alwyn, Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Lautner and Tom Hiddleston) and musicians (Calvin Harris, John Mayer, Harry Styles and, most recently, Matty Healy). But perhaps that's why her romance with the lighthearted and cheeky athlete-who signed an updated two-year deal with the Chiefs worth $34.25 million in 2024-feels like such a refreshing option for Taylor after her six-year uber-private relationship with Joe came to an end in April 2023.
