Tayvis is committed – what we have learned and how fans reacted

“Your English teacher and your gym teacher get married.”

With this Instagram post with five images from a line, signed with a fire cracker emoji Taylor Swift announced his commitment to the American football player Travis Kelce, sending the Internet in a frenzy.

The couple’s message – which has been together for two years – has been loved more than 18 million times on the social media platform.

The NFL star, Kelce, is photographed kneeling to ask the superstar of world renowned music, with the pair that looks at the eyes and kisses.

In the third photo of the carousel, Swift, wearing a Licou Ralph Lauren neck dress and a cartier -encrusted diamond watch, flashes its engagement ring – a diamond cut with the cushion on a gold strip.

According to American reports, the ring was bought from Artifex Fine Jewelry. Rings prices on its website start at around $ 29,000 (£ 21,506.26).

The photos show the couple surrounded by roses, anemones, delphiniums and hydrangeas which seem to be installed in woods with strategically placed polls and an arch, said the wedding florist Nicola Paul at the BBC.

“It’s a simple elegance, not too ostentatious,” she said. “It was staged in the woods, so you get this lush greenery look.”

The florist celebrates Jeff Leatham, who worked with the Kardashians, described design as “a beautiful secret garden hidden with a romantic mixture of flowers”.

The Swift Ballad is accompanied by the album of the tortured poets department – which would have been written on Kelce.

“I feel so high school every time I look at you,” she sings.

The song clip ends on the line “Are you going to marry, kiss or kill me?” This is apparently a reference to a 2016 interview in which Kelce chose to kiss Taylor in a kissing game, get married, kill.

“It was so magical and special to see,” said Dr. Iona Murphy, adviser to the Victoria and Albert Museum exhibition from last year on Swift and a surface who wrote on Swift.

“A song that was written on Travis was now used on the post. It’s a good time of loop,” said Dr. Murphy, professor of literature in English at Huddersfield University.

She said that the legend of the Instagram ad – “Your English teacher and your gym teacher get married” – is also notable, because he refers to the way fans like to describe the couple.

“It’s like a little joke in the Fandom. You see it on social networks. So it’s as if it was a little wink to fans,” she said.

The pop urgency resonated with fans in an extraordinary way.

Videos on social media groups of groups of screaming friends when they heard the news, while others describe feel emotional and even tearful.

“I thought it was AI when I opened Instagram for the first time,” said Chloé, who runs a Swiftie News Fan account with 74,000 subscribers on Tiktok, BBC.

“I couldn’t believe it was real, then I realized that it was their accounts that displayed it,” she said. “I immediately panicked and sent an SMS to my group cat inconsistently. Just excitement and disbelief, really.”

Over the news, many Swift fans joked on social networks that they were happy for their “close friend” Swift.

Swift recognized at the start of his career the advantage of connecting with fans and carefully designed a feeling of relativity.

And at the same time, many original fans of Swift – who were adolescents at the same time as Swift perceived as an artist – grew up with her, and are now the same age when they can also get engaged or married.

Explaining why she felt so strongly about the commitment, Chloé said: “I feel in a way that we all know her.

“Her music is so personal, and the way she connects to her fans is through the way she speaks and sing her relationships. I just want the best for her and just happy, she found love.”

The frenzy of social media on the news of Swift’s commitment scores another high point in the enormous interest and the fascination of fans in his love life – including her past relationships and his sorrows.

Indeed, Swift has already spoken of the “fixation on Me Pinter as a daughter of date in a psycho series”.

But it is also something that the songwriter deliberately played by writing on his ex in his song and giving clues to fans on his relationships.

According to Laura Snapes, the editor of assistant music of the Guardian and a fast fan, it was “almost like an art form” how she played in media speculations around her love life.

“She certainly knows the advantages of a relationship to make it the headlines. 1989 concerns her relationship with Harry Styles, but as long as we can say who lasted months,” said Snapes on the Podcast Today in Focus.

And interesting, the announcement of the engagement came only a few weeks after Swift interview with Kelce on his new Heights Podcast – which, according to Dr. Murphy, was remarkable because it was the first time that fans saw them interacting together in a long interview and how compatible they seemed.

“It was almost like a two-hour interview-we didn’t have as much interview content. It was therefore pleasant to look at. We could see the chemistry and how comfortable she felt with him,” she said.

It’s not just swift say yes – the feeling is the same for his fandom, according to Chloé.

“We, Swifies, have seen a lot of little friends over the years, some that we have loved and some that we certainly did not like.

“Travis is someone who loves him proudly and does not seem intimidated by his success that other contenders could have been,” she said.
