I can’t believe I am sitting here and typing out these words, but Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce just got engaged. They announced their engagement yesterday, in an Instagram post captioned “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨”, which broke the internet.
The post has since gained about 31M likes, marking it both Taylor and Travis’ most liked Instagram post.
From what we know so far, Travis proposed on August 10th, after they finished recording the New Heights podcast. He created a whole floral display that had been set up in their backyard while they were filming the podcast.
On a personal note, I can’t even begin to express how happy I am. I haven’t been able to cope for the past 24 hours, since I got a message from my friend ‘TAYLOR INSTAGRAM NOW’ and had the biggest meltdown of my life. I’m just ecstatic that after so much heartbreak Taylor has finally found the love of her life. It’s also very charming to see the Gaylors’ meltdown on Reddit.
I have to say this is the most insane month we’ve ever had. The Life Of A Showgirl comes out in just over a month, Taylor is engaged and the happiest she’s ever been, and I am having Swiftie crash-outs on a daily basis again.
The fact that Taylor decided to share the news herself, with the whole ring close-up and tagging fiancé deal, shows how happy and open she is with her life, because I honestly didn’t expect to hear the news from Taylor herself. If you were to tell me two years ago that Taylor Swift would announce her engagement to a football player on her social media accounts, I honestly wouldn’t believe you.
I want to congratulate again both Taylor and Travis, and give him the applause he deserves for the ring, the proposal and the fact that he changed the prophecy. I’m so happy that the girl who has been writing about wanting to find love since she was a teenager finally had her dreams come true.
