Meghan Markle has publicly responded to the news of Taylor Swift’s engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce—a headline-making announcement that happened to eclipse the Duchess of Sussex’s recent lifestyle brand launches.
Swift’s Major Reveal
On Tuesday, Taylor Swift announced her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce, unveiling a collection of romantic photos captured in a lush, flower-filled garden.
The 34-year-old singer proudly displayed her sparkling diamond ring as Kelce got down on one knee. The photos were captioned: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
The announcement coincided with Meghan’s rollout of season two of her Netflix lifestyle series With Love, Meghan and the debut of new products from her As Ever brand.
Instead of overlooking the timing, Meghan showed her support by liking Swift’s Instagram post—a quiet yet gracious nod to the couple’s joyful news.
Details of the Engagement Shoot
As per The Mail, Swift’s ring is believed to be an Old Mine Brilliant Cut designed by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry in New York.
For the shoot, Swift wore a striped silk-blend dress by Ralph Lauren, strappy heeled sandals, and her $27,300 (AUD $42,022) Cartier Santos Demoiselle watch. Kelce opted for a polished yet relaxed look in a Ralph Lauren polo, khaki shorts, and brown suede loafers.
Within hours, the couple’s announcement gathered nearly 20 million likes and even drew congratulations from U.S. President Donald Trump.
Meghan’s Ongoing Promotions
Meanwhile, Meghan pressed ahead with her own projects. Just one hour before Swift’s engagement post, she shared a playful clip from With Love, Meghan featuring celebrity chef José Andrés.
“José: ‘Are you okay?’ My inside voice: ‘Doing better than the lobster.’ New season of ‘With Love, Meghan’ now streaming on @netflix,” she captioned the video.
Alongside the Netflix launch, Meghan also highlighted new seasonal releases and restocks for her As Ever line.
“At As Ever, we keep growing and growing. Your favourites (and more) are back tomorrow as we also celebrate the launch of Season 2 of ‘With Love, Meghan’ on @netflix,” she posted Monday.
The updated product selection features orange marmalade priced at USD $9 (AUD $13.85) and a keepsake-packaged edition for USD $14 (AUD $21.55).
