From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it’s investigating the financials of Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, ‘The A Word’, which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.<\/p>\n
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.<\/p>\n
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Grammy winner\u2019s 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>,<\/em> became available for listening globally. In honor of the album\u2019s release, she is making an appearance Friday on The Graham Norton Show<\/em> alongside Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Domhnall Gleeson, and Lewis Capaldi.<\/p>\nPhotos have emerged from the singer\u2019s taping of the talk show, showing her in a black dress with a bedazzled halter top neckline, complete with her side-swept bangs and a coral-colored lip.<\/p>\n
The \u201cKarma\u201d singer wore a simple diamond bracelet on one wrist as her left hand showed off her engagement ring from her fianc\u00e9, Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. <\/p>\n
The couple, who have been dating for over two years, first announced the new milestone in their relationship in August with a joint Instagram post showing off images from the proposal with a caption that read, \u201cYour English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt 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,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Speaking to The Independent, <\/em>Rich Goldberg of Safian & Rudolph Jewelers dubbed the engagement ring \u201cas classic and whimsical as the pop star herself.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cBased on the limited photos we currently have, the center diamond looks to be an elongated cushion cut of approximately five to six carats,\u201d he continued. \u201cA diamond shaped like this could also be a \u2018old mine\u2019 brilliant cut, which is essentially an antique diamond, with a cushion shape. The setting looks yellow gold and is wider at the top, tapering down with engraving on the sides, possibly with a couple very small inlaid gemstones.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis gives the ring a vintage look, which is timeless, rather than something trendy. A truly beautiful ring style, perfect for the life of a showgirl.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other experts, including Laura Taylor of Lorel Diamonds and Nilesh Rakholia of Abelini, also estimated Swift\u2019s new accessory to be worth around $1 million, depending on the color, clarity, and cut of the diamond.<\/p>\n
Swift\u2019s appearance on The Graham Norton Show <\/em>will air on Friday at 5:40 p.m. ET or 10:40 p.m. BST. The show is available to watch on BBC America or can be streamed using the AMC+ app, which can be downloaded on Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, or Roku.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing.
