Taylor Swift announces she's marrying Travis Kelce

BarcelonaTaylor Swift is about to begin a new professional and personal era. The singer announced this Tuesday that she is engaged to American football player Travis Kelce and that they are already planning the wedding. Swift has published a carousel of photographs immortalizing the moment when Kelce proposed to her. In a flower-filled garden, the athlete appears on one knee in front of her. There are five images in total, in which details such as the engagement ring and the two embracing can be seen. The pop idol has accompanied the photographs with the caption "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married" and the song High school sound, from the album The tortured poets department, the latest thing he has published so far.

The engagement announcement comes two weeks after the singer announced that she had a new album ready, The life of a showgirl, and that the release would be on October 3. Swift reserved the exclusive of the new album for the podcast that Travis Kelce does with his brother Jason Kelce, New Heights. In that podcast, the singer explained that she recorded the album during the European leg of The Eras Tour, and said she would travel to Sweden to record if she had three days between shows. "I was tired, but mentally very stimulated," she admitted. "The album is about what was happening in my personal life behind the scenes during the tour, which was exuberant, electric, and vibrant. It comes from a joyful, wild, and dramatic place I was in, and that effervescence is reflected in the album," she explained. In line with these feelings, the cover photo and the entire aesthetic of the album are inspired by the style of cabaret divas of the 20s and 30s.

In her engagement announcement, Swift did not detail the wedding date or what the ceremony will be like; right now, two. With the wedding, the singer and Kelce put the finishing touches on a love story. made in America and worthy of any teen movie. They are the representation of the popular girl stereotype and the quarterback from high school. The couple began dating in 2023 after Kelce's initial attempt to approach her failed. During one of her concerts, he tried to give her one of the friendship bracelets fans exchange at her shows. The football player, instead of writing lyrics or song titles on the armband as is usually done, left his phone number.The strategy didn't work out, but Swift soon heard the story and decided to give the Kansas City player a chance.
