Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are getting married. The pop superstar announced the engagement on her Instagram account with a caption that read, “our English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married”. While the news is a major story in the worlds of music, sports, and pop culture, the couple also shares a number of unique and surprising connections to the world of professional wrestling.
The Engagement Announcement
The announcement came via Swift’s social media, with the “English teacher and your gym teacher” line being an inside joke that playfully refers to how their respective fanbases have characterized their different personalities. The news immediately went viral, becoming a top trending topic worldwide.
Travis Kelce has been a long-time fan of WWE. The Kansas City Chiefs tight also a friend of WWE Superstar The Miz.
Kelce’s fandom was on full display earlier this year at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia. He and his brother, Jason Kelce, were seated at ringside for the event and got involved in the LWO vs. Judgment Day match. Both brothers, wearing luchador masks, jumped the barricade to help Rey Mysterio secure a victory. There has been ongoing speculation that Kelce may become more involved with WWE after his NFL career concludes.
Taylor Swift’s Connection to Jeff Jarrett
While Kelce’s wrestling fandom is well-known, Taylor Swift has her own surprising connection to a WWE Hall of Famer. Jarrett has stated in interviews and on his “My World” podcast that Swift would often come to his house to play with and watch over his young daughters.
Congratulations to the happy couple on their engagement.
