As far as we know, Tavia Hunt has not publicly revealed what she gave Taylor Swift when the pop star became engaged to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in August.

But a photo of the wrapped box has been shared publicly and the glamorously wrapped box itself was worth keeping — again.

Hunt gave the wrapping assignment to Anita Ivancevich’s Dallas Gift Wrap Creations, who went viral when her company wrapped the birthday gift the Hunts gave Swift in December 2023.

For Swift’s engagement gift, Ivancevich created a “Lover”-era presentation inspired by the flower-filled setting Kelce created in his Johnson County backyard for his proposal. It took its cue from the fairy tale-like photoshoot for Swift’s 2019 “Lover” album.

The gift box was wrapped in bedazzled floral paper with pink ribbon and topped with a glittery three-dimensional butterfly.

“Grateful for the trust placed in us to bring this iconic engagement gift vision to life @taviahunt for @taylorswift,” the post read. “A design almost as enchanting as their love story itself — a dreamy nod to the lush, garden fairytale where the unforgettable proposal unfolded. Congratulations @taylorswift & @killatrav - here’s to a lifetime of happiness!”

Ivancevich, who started the company in 2026, recently told the NBC affiliate in Dallas she never thought one day she’d be wrapping gifts for Swift.

“It’s just always so exciting when I get the call and the person calling tells me who it’s for,” Ivancevich said. “I just feel like the pressure infinitely goes up because it’s like, how do we really make an impression with the next design and kind of one up it every time?”

She said her relationship with the Hunt family began years ago when one of their assistants reached out “and we’ve kind of just been working with them ever since. It’s been a wonderful journey.”

The birthday gift she wrapped was a crystal studded Judith Leiber couture purse shaped like a microphone.

The Leiber purses “are just always incredible to work with because they’re blinged out completely to perfection and it was so perfect and on brand. I was like, what better thing can you possibly give her than, you know, she’s doing the Eras Tour and everything and I was like, this is perfect,” Ivancevich told the NBC outlet.

We don’t know what the Hunts gave Swift. (The box looked big enough for some fancy bakeware. Or maybe another Judith Leiber bag?)

But we do know that the hosts of a UK radio show who recently interviewed her gave her two engagement gifts. The first was inside an orange gift bag. Orange and mint-green are the colors of her “The Life of a Showgirl” era.

Inside a mint-green jewelry box was nestled a tiny cat made of manmade opal — opalite, the name of one of her new songs.

Then they gave her a loaf of her latest obsession, sourdough bread.

Sweet.

@brittanydelaurentis Replying to @Tawnyuh Taylor talking about her exact inspiration behind opalite is actually so sweet and beyond thoughtful omg😭😭 @Capital Radio #swiftietiktok #taylorswifttraviskelce #thelifeofashowgirl #traviskelcetaylorswift #swiftie ♬ Opalite - Taylor Swift
