Before the game, the Chiefs—the team in which Kelce has played on throughout his NFL career—shared a behind-the-scenes featurette of the football players gearing up for the new season, including a snippet of Kelce sitting in the media room with his hands folded, giving a brief glimpse of his new jewelry.

Yet, the preseason game wasn’t the first outing Kelce wore his wedding band. After all, one week after his and Swift’s star-studded nuptials at New York City’s Madison Square Garden July 3, the newlyweds revealed their wedding bands while attending Kelce’s Chiefs teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster and Laura Kruk‘s wedding.

And Swift’s new addition was more than perfectly fine as it coordinated with the engagement ring Kelce proposed to the Grammy winner with in August 2025. The stunning sparkler—which Kelce designed with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry—features an old mine brilliant-cut cushion-shaped diamond on a yellow gold band.

While Kelce is starting his 14th season with the Chiefs, it’s his first year having his “wife” in his kingdom. Though he’s ready to hit the field once again, Kelce can’t help but gush about the “best night” of his life.

“It was a fun offseason,” he told reporters at an Aug. 12 press conference. “Wedding was the best night of my life. I appreciate everyone who came out and celebrated and had fun with us. That’s about all I got from that night.”

Who didn’t attend Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding?Considering these nuptials simply hit different, it’s hard to believe any guest would decline on their RSVP. However, stars including Ryan Seacrest,Zoë’s fiancé (and Swift’s ex) Harry Styles and Swift’s former BFF Jaime King, whose son Leo Thamesis one of Swift’s godchildren, had to skip the ceremony for their own reasons, emphasizing no bad blood. Meanwhile, Garret “Jacknife” Lee—who co-produced Swift’s “The Last Time”—thought his invite was too good to be true. His wife Melissa Garner Leerevealed in an op-ed that her husband told her he’d received “a text” from Swift’s manager inviting the couple to her nuptials, but ignored it thinking it was spam. Swift’s “Snow on the Beach” duet partner Lana Del Rey, for her part, also opted for a low-key weekend, skipping the nuptials in favor of hosting a friend’s birthday, which she confirmed on Instagram. Among other stars who were formerly in Swift and Kelce’s inner circle but did not make their white veil occasion include Dianna Agron, Keleigh Sperry Teller and Miles Teller, as well as Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Although the stars were previously thick as thieves with Swift and Kelce, it appears a frost has arisen amid the friendships.
