Kelce, 35, and Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes are set to open their 1587 Prime steakhouse in Kansas City, Missouri, next month and are teasing some of the tasty food and beverages they will be serving up via the eatery’s Instagram account.
On Thursday, August 28, the 1587 Prime Instagram shared a video of Kelce and Mahomes, 29, sampling a cocktail named “The Alchemy,” which also happens to be the name of a football pun-filled track on Swift’s 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, released last year.
“This is The Alchemy,” a bartender can be heard saying as he presents the football players with a cocktail infused with cucumber, orange peel and rose buds.

“So when I touch down / Call the amateurs and / Cut ’em from the team / Ditch the clowns, get the crown / Baby, I’m the one to beat,” Swift sings on the track. “Cause the sign on your heart / Said it’s still reserved for me / Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?”

Jewelry expert Nilesh Rakholia estimated the ring to be worth $950,000 to $1,270,000. “The stone itself looks to be easily in the 7–10 carat range, which immediately places it among the most iconic celebrity engagement rings,” the Abelini founder told Us Weekly.
Swift had her ring on full display on Thursday, August 28, as the newly-engaged couple watched a college football game at the Chiefs’ home field, Arrowhead Stadium, in Kansas City.
