Behind the Proposal: Tradition and Family Approval
Travis meticulously planned the proposal, seeking permission from Taylor’s parents, Scott and Andrea Swift, beforehand. A source revealed he aimed for a “traditional” approach, selecting the ring himself. His father, Ed Kelce, shared that Taylor grew “a little antsy” waiting but adored the intimate setup near Travis’ Missouri home. “You could do it on the side of the road… they’re just so happy,” Ed told media.
