By bringing together two of America’s biggest loves – music and |
|
sports – Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been compared to . It’s |
|
why news of the between the reigning pop queen and an NFL king has |
|
their loyal subjects hoping they’ll share their wedding in an equally |
|
public way. |
|
|
|
The couple has managed to keep their relatively private, almost lowkey. |
|
In their joint engagement announcement, which was quickly met with mass |
|
approval and record-breaking millions of likes on social media on |
|
Tuesday, Swift described herself in a humble metaphor as an “English |
|
teacher” and Kelce a “gym teacher.” |
|
|
|
But the move – along with the photos of the proposal setting with |
|
lavish floral arrangements and her giant, dazzling engagement ring – |
|
quashed any prior suggestions they would, perhaps, quietly elope. |
|
|
|
Besides, after decades of Swift pouring her soul into songs about |
|
heartache, romance, white horses and fairytales, Swifties have been |
|
primed to crave – and call to see – her walk down the aisle toward |
|
a happily ever after. |
|
|
|
In a divided nation, with talk of and calls for “,” Swift and Kelce |
|
may be the only duo who could bring people together for a monocultural |
|
moment of celebration. |
|
|
|
Even President Donald Trump, who has previously been critical of Swift, |
|
has wished the couple “a lot of luck.” |
|
|
|
“I think he’s a great player. I think he’s a great guy, and I |
|
think that she’s a terrific person,” the president told reporters |
|
gathered at a . |
|
|
|
The National Football League (NFL), a group that has not passed up many |
|
promotional opportunities related to the “ took to Instagram not |
|
once, but twice, to cheer on the newly engaged couple. |
|
|
|
“What a journey” the league first shared, along with a clip showing |
|
Swift attending Kelce’s NFL games over the last two years. |
|
|
|
The account then went on to repost a video of in February 2024, in |
|
which he is heard saying to Swift, “I can’t believe this is |
|
happening.” |
|
|
|
“Same,” captioned the NFL. |
|
|
|
Expect the mania to ramp up as the desire for information surrounding |
|
the forthcoming nuptials is already fierce. |
|
|
|
Because surely, a bride-to-be with the and a groom with back-to-back |
|
Super Bowl rings will wed in regal, live-streamed style, no? |
