The entire world has had their eyes on Taylor Swift’s relationships since her music career began. I vividly remember sitting around with friends in middle school speculating about who some of the subjects of her songs were. And nothing has changed since then. With just a quick Google search, you can find lists of all (or nearly all) of the men Swift has written songs about over the years.
Among them include Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal, Cory Monteith, Taylor Lautner, John Mayer, Conor Kennedy, Harry Styles, Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy and more. But the days of reminiscing on (or taking jabs at) those past relationships are over, because Swift has finally found the prince to her princess: Travis Kelce.

If you’re not familiar with Travis Kelce, he’s a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs NFL team and has three Super Bowl wins under his belt. And as far as his relationship with Taylor, rumors began swirling that they might be dating during the summer of 2023. However, the first concrete evidence fans saw of their relationship was Swift watching a Chiefs game with Kelce’s family on September 23, 2023.
Then, in November 2023, Swift changed a few lyrics in her song Karma while performing the Eras Tour in Buenos Aires. Instead of “Karma is the guy on the screen coming straight home to me," Swift sang, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.” Of course, fans erupted into screams immediately following that.

Taylor also made sure not to miss the 2024 Super Bowl, even though she was performing the Eras Tour in Tokyo the night before. Since then, it’s been clear that Swift and Kelce are serious about their relationship. Taylor even recently appeared on the podcast hosted by Travis and his brother, “New Heights,” to announce her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl.

Now, you might be wondering why exactly Taylor Swift’s engagement is such a big deal. After all, what makes her different from any other celebrity? Well, her fanbase, Swifties, are one of the most passionate communities of people on the planet. Aside from simply enjoying her music, many fans have developed parasocial relationships with the star and truly feel like they actually know her. Her lyrics are very honest and vulnerable, while she’s invited the world to speculate about her personal relationships for years. Because of this, many Swifties feel like they are closer to Taylor than any other star.

Many fans also find Taylor Swift to be a relatable star. Despite the fact that she’s a billionaire who zips around the world in her private jet today, she was once just a young girl from Pennsylvania with a dream of stardom. Fans find her girl next door persona magnetic, especially compared to the floods of nepo babies who take up space in the rest of the entertainment industry.

Another reason why Swifties can’t get enough of Taylor is because many believe that she truly cares about her fans. Billboard reported earlier this year that Swift has been known to meet with fans for free after almost every single Eras Tour show. She’s also made surprise appearances at weddings, bridal showers and engagement parties over the years. In 2015, she even helped one lucky fan pay off her student loans. And in 2016, the star pledged $1 million to Louisiana flood relief following devastating torrential rains in the state.

And, of course, we can’t discuss why fans love Taylor Swift so much without mentioning her lyricism. Love or hate her music, you can’t deny that millions of people feel seen when they listen to it. Her honesty and vulnerability is relatable to so many fans, and her descriptions of love and heartbreak leave Swifties feeling like she truly understands them. This closeness that her fans feel to her is exactly why they are so ecstatic about her engagement.
