NEED TO KNOW
Taylor Swift is giving a close-up look at her engagement ring.
In her first TV appearance since her August engagement to Travis Kelce, Swift, 35, was pictured stunning in a black and bejeweled ensemble at a taping of The Graham Norton Show.
For the occasion, the singer-songwriter paired her sparkling ring with a black mini dress that featured a bejeweled halter neckline. She completed the look with her classic red lip and her signature bangs swept to the side.
The episode, in which Swift appears alongside Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Domhnall Gleeson, and Lewis Capaldi, will air on Friday, Oct. 3, the same day that her upcoming 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl will be released.
The vintage-style engagement ring boasts a massive old mine brilliant cut diamond, a rectangle-cut diamond. The ring — which is estimated by Angelic Diamonds’ Neil Dutta to be between 7 and 10 carats — appears to be a bezel setting, meaning it wraps around the center stone.

On Aug. 26, the “Love Story” singer and NFL star Kelce, 35, announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post. The couple shared romantic photos from their floral-filled proposal, captioned, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨.”
Shortly before the engagement announcement, Swift stunned fans with a rare appearance on Kelce’s New Heights podcast, which he cohosts with brother Jason Kelce, on Aug. 13. In the her interview, Swift announced her 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl.
The album sees Swift reuniting with 1989 and reputation producers Max Martin and Shellback, and aesthetically lends to the vintage glitz and glam of Las Vegas style showgirls. The cover, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, features Swift in a silver beaded bra top by AREA, and bracelets, while partially submerged in water, featuring hints of turquoise and orange.
The photography team previously worked with Swift on reputation. The image on the primary album cover resembles John Everett Millais’ 1852 painting of the tragic Hamlet heroine, Ophelia, whose fictional death in the Shakespeare play inspired the painting of her drowning in a river surrounded by flowers. “The Fate of Ophelia” is one of the tracks listed on the upcoming album.
The Life of a Showgirl will be released on Friday, Oct. 3.
