Music toast to Taylor and Travis: This love has changed the prophecytaylor has sang about weddings and love stories numerous times, and his engagement with Travis Kelce is the perfect story of ‘everything ends well when he ends well’

Ladies and gentlemen, please get up! Today the world celebrates the love story of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcewho communicated their engagement on social networks on Tuesday, with the most witty marriage announcement in pop history: “Your English teacher and your physical education teacher will marry.” In the photos, Travis embodies a real Romeokneeling on the floor and taking an alliance of a lush garden full of white and pink roses. It is not a role alliance, it is real, and now it is on the finger of Taylorthe one in which the wedding rings are placed. So, let’s make a toast to these two young people in love, is the definitive story of “everything ends well when it ends well” Taylor.

To pack the ad, the couple chose “So High School”one of the lightest and most fun songs of Taylor. Everyone was surprised when the two joined in 2023: the tortured poet and the football star. But this is a moment of joy for any fan of Taylorthe most genuine and young romantic in pop. After all the tears shed on your guitar over the years, it’s time to celebrate. The right bet is that the wedding will be charming, nothing tacky, a white veil event, and probably Taylor You will not wear a sweet -shaped dress.

The father of Travis, Ed Kelcerefreshing man without popes in his tongue, revealed details of the engagement, which happened in the garden of Travis In Lee’s Summit, Missouri, near Kansas City. “Travis made the proposal, ah, maybe two weeks ago, not two complete weeks, ”he said Kelce On Tuesday night. “They were going out to dinner and she was ready, and he said, ‘Let’s go to the garden, let’s go out to the small courtyard and have a glass of wine. We have time.’ Does Taylor really fell on this?

“They got there, and that’s when he asked her to marry it, and it was beautiful. They started making video calls for me, their mother and their families, to make sure everyone knew. So, seeing them together is wonderful.” Clearly, clearly the son did not come out much different from his father in the family Kelce.

Taylor has already sang about weddings and unions in so many forms and perspectives, “Marry Me Juliet” in 2008 a “I’m Marry You with Paper Rings” in 2019, until “I WOULDN’T MARRY ME EITHER” in 2023. She always liked to tell stories of novels that last decades. Even on her debut album, she sang “Mary’s Song (Oh My My My)”the story of a couple who falls in love as children; At the end of the song, she is 87 years old and he 89. Taylor He was only sixteen when he wrote this song.

But she also approached the marriage with the look of a cautious adult, especially in Midnightsof the skepticism of “Midnight Rain” (“He wanted a bride, I was building my own name”) “Lavender Haze”where refuses to conform to “the sunset of the 1950s they want from me,” muttering, “All they keep asking me is if I’m going to be your bride / the only type of girl they see is one night or wife.” Folklore It is full of vindictive and widowed wives, while Evermoore has what Swift He called “the anthology of ‘happily ever after’ unfortunate weddings that went wrong, including unfaithfulness, ambivalent tolerance and even murder.” This romantic complexity has always been part of it: the desire for fairy tale versus fierce independence and refusal to become the property of someone.

It is not yet known what the couple planned for marriage, but the possibilities are endless. No one created more extravagant romantic scenarios than Taylorand she has a fiance who loves public shows as much as she – God help us. The pop is full of legendary and exaggerated ceremonies: Mick Jagger marrying Bianca Jagger In Saint-Tropez in 1971, in a paparazzi chaos that invented Rock Star’s concept of marriage. Keith Richards It was godfather – you will not believe it, but passed out and lost the reception. Sly Stone marrying Kathy Silva on the stage of Madison Square Garden packed. John and Yoko transforming marriage into a world tour of protest against the war, which still generated success “The Ballad of John and Yoko”. Mariah Carey marrying your label chief, Tommy Mottolawith a list of starry guests that went from ROBERT DE NIRO the Ozzy Osbourne.

Who could forget Celine Dion Marrying with her manager in 1994 wearing a six -pound diamond tiara, so heavy she could barely walk through the corridor? He even scratched his forehead and had to go to the hospital, the power of love, right? Or Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown Serving the guests slices of your 18 -story wedding cake with a note saying “Put this cake under the pillow and dream of your true love”? Taylor You know all these color stories, so it’s easy to imagine that her marriage will be the most commented pop event of the year.

And that’s not all. She also announced the new album, The Life of a Showgirlwhich arrives on October 3rd. The great revelation took place on August 13, during his participation in the podcast New heightsfrom Travis Kelce and your brother Jason. Interestingly, the couple announced the engagement exactly 13 days later. Coincidence? Maybe not.

The podcast was the first time we saw Taylor and Travis talk openly as a couple. They told how TravisKansas City Chiefs player, approached her clumsy in September 2023, trying – and failing – handing a friendship bracelet with his number. “It’s the life behind everything,” he said Taylor about the concept of the album. “It’s life beyond the show.” Now these words get a new weight.

Even with the couple at the center of attention in recent weeks, the news of the engagement still took many people by surprise. The father of Travis said the proposal happened “less than two weeks ago”, that is, Taylor Already planned to announce great personal news with the album. She commented: “This album shows what was happening behind the scenes of my life during the tour, such a happy, intense and vibrant period. I’m very proud, it comes from a very dramatic, fun and contagious place of my life.”

Taylor It has always been a cream romantic, but with a foot in the real world. From a teenager, she already wrote about lasting love, as in “Mary’s Song (Oh My My My)”which tells the story of a couple who grows together until old age. But it also sings about complicated weddings and love disappointments, in songs like “Champagne Problems”, “Shit Vigilante” and “Tolerate It”.

Travis and Taylor come from different worlds – he was already a star of NFLshe conquered the pop world – but he was not afraid to expose himself. “Travis adorablely exposed me in the podcast, ”he said Taylor. “I found it amazing.” He had no insecurity with her fame and even participated in the tour, taking the stage with her as a supportive dancer in London, almost a year ago.

Taylor loves grandiose romantic gestures, and Travis It definitely knows how to speak her language. “I felt in a 80’s movie, and he was out there with a boombox saying, ‘I want to date you! I want to go out with me? I made a friendship bracelet!’” It’s the romance of her songs gaining life.

The couple plays with the image of “English teacher / physical education teacher,” something they have completely adopted. As Taylor sings “So High School”: “You know how to play ball, I know Aristotle.” From the beginning, fans have loved this difference between them. “I was never a man of many words,” he said Travis. “Being with her and seeing how Taylor It’s smart it’s amazing. I learn every day ”.

Even the smallest details of the ad enchanted the fans. On the last night of ERAS TOURin Vancouver, many expected engagement during “I can do it with a broken Heart” “It didn’t happen, but happiness is now real.” Even the squirrels seem to be celebrating, and the best friend of Taylor, Abigailapproved in the nets with a red heart and the caption: “That!”

On November 2, in Indianapolis, Taylor He gave a real shock to the fans with an unexpected acoustic mash-up, gathering two opposite songs: “This Love”from 1989and “The Prophecy”from THE TOTURED POETS DEPARTMENTlaunched more than ten years later. One is a ballad about a couple who reconnects; The other, the midnight prayer of a lone heart that feels is condemned to remain this way.

Travis was in the audience that night, of course, and it was also the night when he was seen dancing with the mother of Taylor, Andreaduring “So High School”. But that’s exactly how the news of the engagement sounds now. How she sang, “This love changed the prophecy”.

Sometimes you only discover the answer when someone kneels and asks – and fortunately Travis, Taylor Yes, he said. Then a toast to the lucky couple, eternally dramatic and true. May everything continue as intense and fun as now. Exaggerated and perfect. May they always remain like this closely, so connected.
