Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged! As of this afternoon, as the happy couple it put on their joint Instagram post, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married!” This was a post from Taylor that nobody saw coming, and based off of some key details, fans think that Taylor didn’t see it coming either. Keep reading to learn more.

1. Taylor’s Nails Are Undone

Reason #1 fans think Travis Kelce out-masterminded the mastermind: Taylor’s nails aren’t painted. If you look closely at photos 3, 4, and 5, there’s no polish on her nails. What’s the number one thing girls do when they know they’re getting engaged soon? Keep their nails polished—typically in neutral or bridal colors.

Plus, the soon-to-be Mrs. Kelce has been known to go crazy with the colors on her nails, using them as Easter eggs for different announcements. Something tells us that if Taylor knew Travis would be getting down on one knee, she would’ve picked the perfect pink to color her nails.

2. The Photos Are Not Taylor's Typical Style or Quality

Taylor Swift is nothing if not calculated. All of her posts on Instagram are perfectly curated, high quality, and similar dimensions. And her engagement announcement post with Travis? None of those things. Of course, we wouldn't expect her to make sure her engagement post aligns with the theme of her recent album promotion posts.

But, not all of the five photos are the same dimensions. While the first four photos are all horizontal, the final photo is vertical, and Taylor had to add a white border on the sides to ensure it didn't get cropped. All signs point to Travis booked the photographer! Plus, while the photos certainly aren't bad quality, they're not the usual quality we get from Ms. Swift's posts.

3. Taylor's In The Midst of Album Promotion

And finally, both Taylor and Travis have a ton of other stuff going on! Taylor just appeared on Travis's podcast, New Heights, a few weeks ago to announce her upcoming albumThe Life of a Showgirl. Since then, she's been dropping vinyl variants and pre-order opportunities what feels like every other day.

Travis is gearing up for another season of football, which means preseason practice probably every day. All signs point to this isn't the time! But you know what they say, there's never going to be a "right time." Congratulations to the happy couple!
