First VMAs Appearance

Taylor Swift made her first official red carpet appearance post-wedding at the VMAs in a draped gown with sparkling drop earrings.

Ring Initial Appearance

Early photos showed Taylor’s wedding ring as a simple gold band, but later shots revealed sparkly diamonds incorporated into it.

Ring Design Details

The ring actually consists of individual diamonds set in gold, stacked neatly alongside each other, not a solid band with diamonds.

Jeweler Background

Taylor’s engagement ring was designed by jeweler Kindred Lubeck, whom Travis knew she loved for her hand-engraved gold pieces.

Travis's Reaction

Travis said he recognized the ring after watching a video a year and a half ago, noting Taylor’s attention to detail in her gold engraving.

“She does all of her gold engraving by hand. I had shown him a video. I just thought her stuff was so cool. I had shown him a video like a year and a half ago, and he was just paying attention to everything it turns out because when I saw the ring, I...I was like,‘I know who made this, I know who made this,’ and also, you listen to me! It was like, you really know me. I didn’t know what I would want, but he did somehow, and that’s kind of a flex.”
