A body language expert has determined that Taylor Swift is the ‘total goddess’ in her relationship with ‘humble fan’ Travis Kelce after analyzing their romantic engagement shoot.
The couple announced their engagement on Tuesday, with a photoshoot showing Travis, 35, popping the question to Taylor, 35, in a rose garden.
Body language expert Judi James exclusively examined the photos for Daily Mail and called attention to Taylor’s particularly close proximity to Travis during the big moment – which she noted was unusual for women to do during proposals.
‘Although it’s usual for the guy to go down on one knee it’s not so usual for the girl to come so close that he is gazing up at her in some kind of awe, but that’s what Travis is happily doing here,’ Judi told Daily Mail. ‘The act of kneeling is made to look like a loving lowering of status as he holds the ring out in one hand expectantly.’
Based on the images, Judi says that the Super Bowl winner ‘looks like a man who can barely believe his luck’ in being with the accomplished superstar.
Judi also seems to suspect the photos show an ‘official version of a proposal’ that may have actually occurred earlier.

Indeed, while the world is just now learning about their new relationship status, the couple reportedly became engaged two weeks ago, and they even wore matching Ralph Lauren outfits for the occasion, in a sign Taylor knew the proposal was about to occur.
‘There’s clearly little risk that this was an impromptu, surprise proposal thanks to the Disney setting and the camera team present, so the hint is that this is an official version of a proposal that might have actually taken place a while ago,’ Judi tells Daily Mail.
‘The messaging is adorable though and there is a huge hint from the body language poses chosen that Taylor is the total goddess in this relationship while Travis is the besotted and reasonably humble fan,’ she said.
Taylor, according to Judi, appears to be the ‘confident one’ as she cups his face with one hand in ‘an act of loving reassurance and acceptance.’
‘Taylor’s pose suits the fairytale setting as she looks down at Travis, placing one hand on his face in an act of loving reassurance and acceptance. She looks like the confident one here while Travis looks like a man who can barely believe his luck,’ Judi told Daily Mail.
Judi said their closeness was also indicative of just how strong their relationship is.
‘The nose-to-nose pose shows a tendency for the kind of very synchronized movements and touch rituals we saw in their recent podcast, and which are a sign of a strong couple,’ she told Daily Mail.
She also interestingly noted that being with Taylor makes Travis ‘shy and submissive’, and the manner in which she touches his face also demonstrates a ‘tender form of superior confidence.’
‘Travis’s facial expression again suggests a humbler approach, as though loving Taylor makes him shy and submissive. She cups his face in her hands here, closing her eyes in a “savoring” ritual as though trying to intensify all the emotions of the moment. Her face-touching and face-cupping suggests a tender form of superior confidence here,’ she said.
Judi says this photo shows Taylor exhibiting a ‘relaxed sensuality’ as well as her sense of humor

More signs of their relationship were also evident in an image of the couple cuddled up in a bower, according to Judi.
Judi said Taylor’s head resting on Travis’ shoulders demonstrates a sense of accomplishment – as well as her humor.
She also observed her legs stretched out across Travis’ lap were signs of ‘relaxed sensuality.’
‘The photo in the bower seems to signify a sense of relaxation and relief now they’ve finally done what the world was waiting for them to do,’ Judi told Daily Mail. ‘Taylor’s legs stretched across Travis’s lap signals a relaxed sensuality but this “We did it!” pose shows a sense of self-effacing humor as she rests her head on his shoulder and he tilts his head against hers as though they’re enjoying both an intimate moment and a final break from all the endless speculation.’
Taylor and Travis, who have been dating for two years, officially revealed their marriage news on Tuesday with a romantic photoshoot showing Kelce proposing in a rose garden.
A source confirmed to Page Six that Travis actually proposed to the pop superstar ‘a couple of weeks ago’ although the exact date is unknown.
Taylor captioned the post: ‘Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.’
The Grammy winner also revealed her mammoth diamond engagement ring in the post – the stunning band is an Old Mine Brilliant Cut and appears to be from Kindred Lubeck at Artifex Fine Jewelry. It is worth an estimated $675,000 to $1 million.

The star shared the post on her Instagram, set to ballad So High School, which is about her enduring love for Kelce.
The couple went public with their relationship in September 2023 when the singer appeared alongside Travis’ mother, Donna, at a Kansas City Chiefs game.
Since that day their romance has captivated the world, with Taylor supporting Travis’ run to two Super Bowls while the NFL star has traveled alongside her around the globe on her wildly successful Eras tour.
The sports star’s close friend Patrick Mahomes was quick to congratulate the couple, sharing Taylor’s post on Instagram with three heart emojis.
In the wake of the announcement, Taylor, Travis and her hit Love Story began trending.

Taylor’s longtime pals, supermodel Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, and Cara Delevingne were quick to like the post, showing support from her girl squad.
But Blake Lively was absent from the list of likes, continuing a rocky chapter in her friendship with the Shake It Off singer.
The tension between the former friends blew up after Taylor’s name got dragged into Blake’s 2024 legal battle with Justin Baldoni – his lawyers claimed Blake tried to ‘coerce’ Taylor into a public statement and delete texts —and even though a subpoena was later dropped, the drama clearly left its mark.
Fans were quick to spot clues that the singer knew what was about to come as she and Travis donned matching Ralph Lauren outfits.
Taylor wore a $400 striped silk-blend dress by Ralph Lauren for her proposal, which featured a ruched top and halter neckline.
She tied her simple look together with one of her favorite jewelry pieces, which was a gold Santos Demoiselle Watch by Cartier.
The watch costs $18,330, according to the Taylor Swift Styled Instagram page.
