1. “Yes” in the garden

On August 26, Taylor Swift officially announced his engagement with NFL star Travis Kelsey on social media. She posted a group of five photos on Instagram: In the garden surrounded by flowers, Kelsey kneeled on one knee, holding the dazzling diamond ring in his hand.

The caption only has one sentence, but it quickly ignited the entire network: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨.”——”Your English teacher and physical education teacher are getting married.” This slightly playful statement also makes this cross-border relationship look more down-to-earth.

It is reported that Kelsey personally participated in the ring design. This “old mine-cut diamond ring” created by designer Kindred Lubeck is classic and rare in shape, just like their combination that is considered “unlikely”. Swift raised his ring in the photo, looking unconcealed with joy.

Daily Mail reported that not only hugs, tears and champagne celebrations were celebrated, but Swift also burst into tears for a while. Netizens described this as “realistic version of Love Story”.

2. Two-year long-distance love race: from the stadium to the tour

The starting point of this relationship dates back to the summer of 2023. At that time, Kelsey went to see Swift’s “Kansas City Eras Tour”. He originally planned to attract her attention with a friendship bracelet with her own number, but failed to do so. He quipped on his podcast saying “a little hurt.” Unexpectedly, this episode became the beginning of fate.

In September of the same year, Swift suddenly appeared in Kelsey’s Chiefs game, sat in his box, watched the game with Kelsey’s mother, and cheered warmly after he scored a touchdown. From that day on, their relationship officially entered the public eye.

In the following two years, the camera recorded countless moments of “cross-border companionship”:

• On the court: Swift appeared in 13 Chiefs games and left highlights in Super Bowl LVIII and LIX. Even at the Super Bowl 59 scene in New Orleans, she was surrounded by booed by rival fans and still chose to accompany her to the end.

• Understage: Kelsey frequently appeared at Eras Tour during the offseason. He traveled to Argentina, Australia, Singapore, France, Ireland, the Netherlands and other countries, and watched a total of 14 performances. Sometimes he danced to “End Game” in the private room and was captured by fans.

Their lives are not only the intersection of sports and music, but also a real “two-way rushing”.
