The couple’s big announcement sent fans — and Instagram’s numbers — into a frenzy.
The Record-Breaking Post
On August 26, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement with a playful caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” The post quickly took off, becoming the most reposted in Instagram history with over one million shares in just six hours. By press time, the announcement had surpassed 29 million likes.
The Reactions
Fans celebrated across social media, while celebrities including Sabrina Carpenter, Charlie Puth, and Jelly Roll shared their congratulations. Even political figures joined the conversation, with former President Donald Trump unexpectedly praising the couple as a “great match” during a cabinet meeting.
What’s Next
According to Kelce’s father, the proposal happened two weeks before the announcement. Now the couple faces a busy season ahead: Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs kick off their NFL season on September 5, while Swift prepares to release her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, on October 3. Wedding planning, it seems, will be added to their already full calendars.
