“霉霉”官宣订婚！求婚现场曝光，巨大鸽子蛋闪瞎眼，外媒估价50万美元...

北京时间8月27日，美国知名女歌手“霉霉”泰勒·斯威夫特（Taylor Swift ）和男友美国职业美式橄榄球运动员特拉维斯·凯尔斯（Travis Kelce）宣布订婚。恭喜“霉霉”！

官宣文案写道：“你的英文老师和体育老师要结婚了”，瞬间点燃全网热议。

CBS记者当时在播放这条新闻时，一整个兴奋失控，连说十多遍OH MY GOD！

在霉霉分享的求婚照片中，手指上一枚耀眼夺目的超大钻戒，瞬间成为全网焦点，璀璨光芒几乎要闪瞎网友的眼。

美国多位珠宝专家也坐不住了，纷纷对这枚疑似“天价钻戒”展开专业解读，从钻石克拉数到切割工艺，热烈讨论不断。

Hannah Florman, a fine jeweler who specializes inbespoke, high-end engagement rings, said in a press release that she believes the ring'sdiamondcould be around 8caratswith quite a large price tag because of the old mine stone, which makes it antique.

高级定制珠宝商、专注于高端订婚戒指的 Hannah Florman 在一份新闻稿中表示，她推测这枚戒指上的钻石大约有8克拉，由于采用的是“老矿石切割”，属于古董级别，因此价格不菲。

Ann Grimmett, VP of merchandising at Jared Jewelers agreed with the assessment on the size of the diamond, saying in a press release that she thinks it could be anywhere from 7 to 9 carats.

Jared 珠宝公司的商品副总裁 Ann Grimmett 在新闻稿中也认同了对钻石大小的判断，她认为这颗钻石的重量大约在 7 到 9 克拉之间。

"The center stone appears to be a bezel set 7 to 9 ct elongated old mine cushion cut, set in 18k yellow gold. The side stones look to be a half-moon plus a small round, which contribute to its more vintage look," she said, adding that her estimated price tag for the piece is in the neighborhood of $250K-$500K.

她表示：“主钻看起来是一颗 7 至 9 克拉的长形老矿枕形切割钻石，采用包镶工艺，镶嵌在 18K 黄金戒托上。两侧的配钻似乎分别是半月形和小圆形钻石，这让整枚戒指更具复古气质。” 她补充说，自己对这枚戒指的估价大约在25万至50万美元之间。

恋爱过往大揭秘

Kelce and Swift's love story began in July 2023 when he attended Swift’s Eras Tour at Arrowhead Stadium, where he plays football for the Kansas City Chiefs. A few weeks after attending theconcert, Kelce revealed that he actually tried — and failed — to meet Swift.

凯尔西和斯威夫特的爱情故事始于 2023 年 7 月。当时凯尔西在自己效力的球队——堪萨斯城酋长队的主场箭头体育场，观看了斯威夫特的 Eras Tour 演唱会。几周后，凯尔西透露，他其实当时尝试过要见斯威夫特，但并没有成功。

He also admitted to being "a littlebutthurt" that he wasn't able to execute his plan to deliver a personalized bracelet with his number to Swift. "I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her," he said on his New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast.

他还坦言，自己因为没能完成计划而感到“有点小受伤”。原本他打算把一条写有自己号码的定制手链送给斯威夫特。“我没能把我特意为她做的手链递到她手上。”他在自己的播客节目 《New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce》 中这样说道。

A few months later, Swift and Kelce sparked dating rumors when she made a surprise appearance at his Chiefs game in September 2023, watching from the tight end's suite alongside his mother Donna. She was seen cheering as Kelce scored a touchdown, and the two walked out together after the game.

几个月后，斯威夫特在 2023 年 9 月突然现身凯尔西的酋长队比赛，由此引发了两人正在约会的传闻。她和凯尔西的母亲唐娜一同坐在他专属的包厢里观赛。当凯尔西达阵得分时，斯威夫特被拍到热情欢呼，赛后两人还一起离开球场。

Earlier this month, Swift made her New Heights podcast debut, which Guinness World Records revealed broke a new world record for "the most concurrent views for a podcast on YouTube" on Aug. 13 with a total of 1.3 million.

就在本月早些时候，斯威夫特首次亮相凯尔西的播客节目 《New Heights》。而据吉尼斯世界纪录的消息，该期节目在 8 月 13 日创下了新的世界纪录——YouTube 播客同时在线观看人数最多，总观看量高达 130 万。

Swift not only announced her upcoming 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, but she also opened up about her relationship with Kelce, including hinting that they live together.

斯威夫特不仅官宣了她即将发行的第十二张录音室专辑 《The Life of a Showgirl》，还首次大方谈及了与凯尔西的感情，甚至暗示两人已经同居。

"I knew that he wasn't crazy the first couple of times that we talked. I was just like, he's truly getting to know me in a way that's very natural, very pure, very normal," the "Style" singer said, adding that Kelce could make her "laugh so immediately, about normal things."

这位演唱过《Style》的歌手表示：“在我们最初的几次交谈中，我就知道他不是那种疯狂的人。我觉得他是真的在以一种非常自然、非常纯粹、非常正常的方式来了解我。” 她还补充说，凯尔西总能在日常琐事中立刻逗她笑。

再一次恭喜“霉霉”！
