Taylor Swift fans the world over are celebrating her big news: that she’s engaged to her boyfriend of two years, Travis Kelce. The pop megastar made the announcement in a joint post to Instagram with her “guy on the Chiefs” on Tuesday, delighting the millions of longtime Swifties who have grown up with her and listened to her unpack her innermost feelings into chart-topping, record-breaking songs.
To many, it will seem as though Swift finally has the fairytale romance she sang about in the earliest stages of her phenomenal career, having gone through her fair share of heartbreak over the years. What they might not have predicted, though, is that she would say “so long” to her London boys of yore — the Joe Alwyns and the Harry Styleses — and end up with perhaps the most all-American of beaus. Yet it makes perfect sense… if you were paying enough attention.
