"This week, we enjoyed a brief respite from America's descent into fascism thanks to pop star Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end (I had to Google this) Travis Kelce, who announced their engagement in the way every little girl dreams of-an collab post. Like with everything Swift does, the reaction was immediate and outsized, with more than 10 million Instagram likes in the first hour and outlets like t he New York Times blasting push notifications like a t-shirt cannon at Arrowhead Stadium ."
"Swifties of all ages are celebrating , the Gaylors are , football fans continue to pine for the pre-Taylor days, and because we can't have nice things in 2025 without some dude who wants to ban birth control entering the chat, conservative pundits are now trying to spin this narrative into a win for traditional values. "This is unironically an excellent thing. Hope many other single people follow their example," tweeted Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro ."
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement via a collaborative post that generated massive online engagement and immediate mainstream media coverage. Fans across different communities reacted strongly, with Swifties and Gaylors celebrating while some football fans lamented the cultural shift. Conservative commentators seized the moment to promote marriage and traditional values, praising the couple as an example for single people and linking the news to population and social concerns. High-profile figures such as Ben Shapiro and Mary Rooke publicly applauded the development, and others, including Charlie Kirk, used the occasion to urge rejection of feminism and submission to husbands.
