Celebs React To Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce’s Engagement News
Lil Wayne literally had to stop his concert to address the news.
The Tortured Poets Department chair and the guy on the Chiefs are getting married! On August 26, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce shared a joint Instagram post revealing that they’re engaged after two years of dating. (A casual 30 million people have liked it so far.) The post features photos from the romantic proposal, which took place in a beautiful garden at Travis’ home in Missouri — including a close-up of Taylor’s massive, Old Mine Brilliant Cut diamond ring. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” Taylor and Travis joked in the corny but sweet caption. Although the comments on the post are turned off, the royal couple’s famous friends are finding other ways to share their reactions to the major news: Here’s how celebrities are reacting to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement so far.
Celebrities React To Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce’s Engagement
Selena Gomez
Taylor’s OG BFF celebrated the news online by reposting Taylor’s announcement with the caption, “When bestie gets engaged.” In another Instagram Story, Selena shared a tweet featuring photos from both of their engagements, along with a nostalgic 2009 tweet from Taylor that read: “@selenagomez Real love still happens sometimes. It’s not just something we make up when we’re nine. I have to believe that. You do too.” Crying.
Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina, who’s featured on Taylor’s upcoming track, “The Life of a Showgirl,” reposted the engagement announcement and added 10 white hearts.
Gracie Abrams
During her Mexico City show, Gracie congratulated her bestie. “I feel like we should be saying a big congratulations to Taylor, who’s not here, but everybody, just congratulations to her,” she said before performing “Us,” her duet with Taylor. “I feel like she’s here with us tonight because of this song.”
Martha Stewart
Martha’s already campaigning to be Taylor and Travis’s wedding planner! The same day the engagement news came out, the lifestyle mogul shared a video featuring their announcement alongside a clip of her sipping wine and saying, “MMM, the nectar of the Gods.” In her caption, Martha wrote, “🚨 It’s time to call in the ultimate wedding planner 🚨.”
Lil Wayne
The rapper took a moment mid-concert to address the news! “Travis and my girl, you already know Taylor,” he said. “Traylor! That’s what we call them. Congratulations.”
Rachel Sennott
Rachel’s (jokingly) pissed that Taylor and Travis kinda stole her thunder. In a reaction TikTok, she pointed out that they announced their engagement “5 minutes after I announced [her] show title.” Yup, the famous Untitled Rachel Sennott HBO show has a title now: I Love LA!
“Congrats Taylor and Travis ultimately really happy for you guys,” the actress wrote in her caption.
Becca Tilley
Becca, a longtime friend of Taylor’s, posted a sweet photo of herself, her fiancée, Hayley Kiyoko, and Taylor — with Travis hilariously Photoshopped in. She also celebrated the news on her IG Story, reposting the engagement announcement and writing, “AHHHH!!! IM SO HAPPY FOR THEM.”
Patrick Mahomes
Travis’ Chiefs bestie shared the exciting post on his IG Story, adding three red hearts.
Brittany Mahomes
Patrick’s wife, Brittany, also reposted the engagement photos and gushed, “Two of the most genuine people meet & fall in love. Just so happy for these two.”
Blake Lively
Blake hasn’t publicly reacted to Taylor’s news, which isn’t shocking given their rumored falling out. “Blake didn’t reach out [following the engagement announcement] and isn’t going to,” a source told The Daily Mail. “This isn’t the time. What would be the point of reaching out now? It really makes no sense. [Blake] has bigger fish to fry.”
The fish in question? Her ongoing legal feud with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni — a feud Taylor’s been dragged into at times. That’s reportedly the cause of their rift.
Karlie Kloss
Despite their alleged falling out, Karlie subtly supported Taylor with a “like” on the engagement post.
