A global media frenzy has erupted after Taylor Swift announced her engagement to football star Travis Kelce.
The multi-Grammy award-winning artist took to Instagram yesterday to make the announcement, and the news spread like wildfire, with every media publication breaking the news with great fanfare.
It is perhaps the good news that the world needed, and could turn out to be the engagement of the century, with levels of excitement usually reserved for royalty.
On the post, Swift and Kelce are seen embracing in a rose-filled garden, bathed in dreamy, soft lighting. One of the pictures shows Kelce kneeling closely to Swift, with her cupping his face, as she often does in pictures.
Her caption is simple yet profound, a seeming nod to fans who have described the couple in similar terms:
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married”
Swift’s choice of song in her Insta stories is also laced with meaning, as she reportedly wrote “So High School” about her romance with Kelce.
Celebrities and friends of the pair have congratulated them, including Kelce’s team who declared “today is a fairy tale” in a post on X.
“Congrats to Travis and Taylor – we’re excited to have you as a permanent member of the Chiefs Kingdom family!”
Even US President Donald Trump took the time to congratulate them, after previously declaring that Swift was “No Longer HOT.”
Trump said that he wished them “a lot of luck… I think he’s a great player. A great guy. And I think she’s a terrific person.”
Swift and Kelce famously started dating in 2023, after the Chiefs player shared on his podcast that he wanted to give the pop star a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it.
Their romance has been headline news ever since, and every detail of their nuptials will be closely watched.
Taylor Swift has officially entered her Bridal Era!
