I did chuckle a bit at the idea that an almost 6 carat ring isn't obnoxious.

It's not remotely obnoxious after seeing the ring Christiano Ronaldo just bought! HOLY OBNOX!
I actually see a lot of big rings around me, so 6 isn't really that huge comparatively, especially for someone of their combined worth.
Mine's probably considered big, so my perspective is likely different lol
I couldn't care less about these 2, but they seemed to have had a reasonable dating period and it seems to have been positive, so I'd never wish any newly engaged couple anything but the best.
Having spent a little time around him twice, I'm not a big fan, but it was a controlled, relatively public setting, so I'm sure he's less grumpy when he's in private and maybe not sucking at a golf tournament 😆

Georgina Rodriguez's Colossal Engagement Ring from Cristiano Ronaldo Valued Up to $5M: Jewelry Experts Weigh In
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez announced their engagement with a photo of her massive diamond ring. Experts break down everything from the whopping carat count and how they estimated the seven-figure price tag.
I can't really say that I have any strong feelings about TS or her relationship, but I do appreciate her craft and the Eras tour was an absolute monster and a pleasure to witness when Megs and our daughter Millie went to the Gelsenkirchen concert last year.
However, I can't help but feel cynical about this whole relationship. It just seems so manipulated and curated for the audience. Like another performance put on to explode onto the public stage with much fanfare.
Another brand growth opportunity. Just like the various easter eggs that keep her fans engaged with her even between album releases, stuff that sparks conversation and embeds her deeply in the modern Zeitgeist.
At what point does a person just become the product? Clearly, she's mega relevant and makes a lot of people a lot of money. That's why I tend to believe that people at that echelon of society don't just date, get engaged, and get married. There are careful considerations of how every move will affect the public image.
But heck, what do I know? I wish them both the best.

Nice! I just read she's from my area (but lives in NYC now).
"She said yes! Global music icon Taylor Swift and Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce are officially engaged, the two announced Tuesday via a joint Instagram post. And the ring has a local connection -- it was designed by Neptune Beach native Kindred Lubeck. "
Taylor is surrounded by the best lawyers in the business and uses them on every opportunity. She will not come out the losing end if anything goes wrong in the marriage.
Having said that - as you said, his parents love this billionaire and I bet they get to fly private whenever they want now. lol
RIGHT!! This is what I was thinking -- That Rinaldo ring is actually hideous to me. I said what I said.It's not remotely obnoxious after seeing the ring Christiano Ronaldo just bought! HOLY OBNOX!

Taylor's ring, IMHO, suits her, what with being a billionaire etc., but it's way more wearable and interesting (not my taste though) than any of JLOs engagement rings which rarely see the light of day. If I saw Taylor's ring on someone's finger I would give it an appreciative glance and not a side-eye for being big and silly.
LOL @ grumpy travis.
I am with you Swanks, I really have very little interest in either of them at this point, but I do not dislike them and Taylor is Taylor, and if she found a forever partner, good for her; good for both of them.
ETA It had to have been Teardrops On My Guitar, because it was 2007. Oops
He's a millionaire - she's a billionaire. Isn’t it $1,000 to a millionaire what $1,000,000 is to a billionaire. And apparently he spent one of his millions already on the ring.
One more reason I like the ring - I can see her being able to pull a glove on when she’s in NYC in the winter. It’s so practical. No reason to not be able wear it.
Yeah.. a quick Google search says $70 million. I don’t think he needs to be worried about what he *might* walk away with.He's a millionaire - she's a billionaire. Isn’t it $1,000 to a millionaire what $1,000,000 is to a billionaire. And apparently he spent one of his millions already on the ring.

They’re both fine

Correct! It a huge disparity in net worth, but in her financial class the pickings are generally dismal. Certainly he will not have to worry about money in the future in any event. In terms of boats....
1000$ boat
Million dollar boat
For a billion you can have 4 of these.
Considering Travis "helped design" the ring, I'm not shocked.
He may well be a nice guy, but just seems like a big oaf to me.
I’m glad you mentioned that because to me Travis gives off major jerk vibes. On the outside he appears to be a big lug jock who is popular with everyone. I get the impression he can mostly hide his mean streak, but it has occasionally burst out when he couldn’t control his temper.Having spent a little time around him twice, I'm not a big fan, but it was a controlled, relatively public setting, so I'm sure he's less grumpy when he's in private and maybe not sucking at a golf tournament 😆

I think Tay can handle him for now but in 5-10 years …? He strikes me as the type who will be stupid enough to cheat on her and think she’ll never find out.
