Congratulations flooded in for the pair from every corner of the internet. Even the famous chef Gordon Ramsay joined in on the celebration.

In a six-word message, he said: "From one ring to the next," followed by a ring emoji. He then went on to add: "Congrats @killatrav & @taylorswift! From your favourite Home Ec Teacher, Gx".

It didn't take long for the comment section on Gordon's post to flood with messages. One person asked: "Hell’s Kitchen engagement party?" A second joked: "I want to go to this school."

A third said: "This engagement is SO hot that even Gordon Ramsay had to find a way to get in on it. I respect that." A fourth put: "Who’s catering the wedding?" The official Hell's Kitchen account even said: "We know the best spot for a bachelor & bachelorette party."

Kelce’s teammate Patrick Mahomes shared the post on his Instagram story, accompanied by three hearts, while his wife Brittany also shared the post, with a comment that read: “Two of the most genuine people meet and fall in love. Just so happy for these two.”

Singer Avril Lavigne, who has previously performed on stage with Swift, also sent “huge congratulations” to the singer and Kelce in a post on her Instagram story.
