Kansas City is showing off its excitement about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s engagement.
Following the news that Swift, 35, said “yes” to Kelce’s romantic garden proposal, a celebratory message appeared in an area cornfield. Precision Mazes carved the message into a 9-acre cornfield at Johnson Farms Plants & Pumpkins in Belton, Mo.
It reads, “Kansas City is Enchanted,” in a nod to Swift’s hit “Enchanted” from her 2010 album, Speak Now. The maze design depicts the singer and the Chiefs tight end, also 35, embracing, with Swift resting her hand on Kelce’s cheek, in a callout to one of the engagement photos the couple shared when they announced the happy news.
The design also features a diamond ring intertwined with another ring and the numbers 87 (Kelce’s jersey number) and 13 (Swift’s lucky number).
Since the couple began dating in 2023, Swift has been welcomed with open arms by Kansas City. She’s been a fixture at Arrowhead Stadium, enthusiastically cheering on her now-fiancé and his Chiefs teammates at the games.
