Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are the most famous couple in the modern world, so naturally, they announced news of their engagement on Instagram.
In a post that sent shockwaves through the platform Tuesday (Aug. 26), the pop superstar and Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed their upcoming nuptials by sharing photos of the proposal. Getting down on one knee in a lush garden of flowers, Kelce popped the question to his now-fiancée with a massive diamond ring in hand, officially starting a new chapter in their romance after about two years of dating.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the couple wrote in the joint caption.
But how many people hearted the post immediately after it went live? According to figures shared by Meta with Billboard, Tayvis’ engagement announcement racked up a whopping 14 million “likes” in just over an hour — plus 452 thousand reposts. The 14-time Grammy winner’s name has also remained in the top trending topics on Threads ever since the reveal.
Among those who “liked” the post were some of Swift’s famous friends — including Lorde, Ice Spice, Gracie Abrams, Jack Antonoff and Sabrina Carpenter — not to mention the countless Swifties who have been listening to the Eras Tour headliner’s songs about someday wanting to get married for about two decades now. Though the comments on Swift and Kelce’s post are turned off, fans took to other social media platforms to share messages of congratulations for the happy couple.
Even the president put his negative feelings toward Swift aside when he heard the news. “Well, I wish them a lot of luck,” Donald Trump said at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday. “I think he’s a great player, I think he’s a great guy, and she’s a terrific person, so I wish them a lot of luck.”
