The pair have appeared together at her hugely popular concerts and at his NFL games playing for the Kansas City Chiefs.</p><p>US President Donald Trump was among the first to publicly congratulate the star couple, despite earlier bad blood with Swift over her endorsement of his opponent Kamala Harris in last year&#x27;s US election.</p><p>&quot;I wish them a lot of luck,&quot; he told reporters at a cabinet meeting, when asked about the engagement.</p><p>Celebrities flocked to congratulate the pair, including from the worlds of music and sport.</p><p>&quot;Awww huge congratulations,&quot; wrote singer Avril Lavigne, on Instagram.</p><p>&quot;Two of the most genuine people meet and fall in love. Just so happy for these two,&quot; wrote Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kelce&#x27;s quarterback teammate Patrick Mahomes.</p><p>Last year, Swift closed her acclaimed $2 billion Eras tour that shattered records and made her the world&#x27;s leading music star as she performed 149 three-hour shows around the globe.</p><p>Tickets sold for exorbitant prices and drew in millions of fans, with many who didn&#x27;t get in willing to sing along outside venues.</p><p>Swifties -- as her fans are known -- are anxiously waiting for her twelfth studio album &quot;The Life of a Showgirl,&quot; to be released on October 3.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>- &#x27;Terrific&#x27; -</strong></div><div><br/></div><p>News of the album came this month in an episode of Kelce&#x27;s &quot;New Heights&quot; podcast, which he hosts with his brother Jason, a former NFL player.</p><p>The two hour-plus episode covered topics from how Swift felt after gaining control of her master recordings to her love of bread baking. It showcased playful dynamics between the two, and set a record 1.3 million concurrent views on YouTube, Guinness World Records said.</p><p>The 14-time Grammy winner&#x27;s last major release, &quot;The Tortured Poets Department&quot; came out in April last year.</p><p>Though Swift is famed for singing about heartbreaks with her exes, her relationship with Kelce, one of the NFL&#x27;s most bankable players, has deepened despite the pressures of fame.</p><p>Kelce has been a major sports star for years, but his relationship with Swift has propelled him to a new level of international interest that a wedding is set to intensify.</p><p>He kicks off his thirteenth season with the Chiefs next week, with speculation that it may be his last as he pursues other entertainment endeavors.</p><p>Kelce has won three championship titles with the Chiefs, and is seeking an elusive fourth after coming up short in last season&#x27;s Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles.</p><p>Both Swift and President Trump were in attendance at the major sporting event, sparking much commentary after the Republican billionaire declared &quot;I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT&quot; following her endorsement of Harris.</p><p>&quot;I think he&#x27;s a great guy. I think that she&#x27;s a terrific person, so I wish them a lot of luck,&quot; Trump said Tuesday.</p><p>bgs-amz/md</p><p>© Agence France-Presse</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XepPKWoW00c?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/U8eH1dzfWG4?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/L6g3qvK1boY?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jXYkVsnpxqI?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
