The world was buzzing and even the US Open on Tuesday when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement. The couple shared the news on Instagram with a playful caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
During a US Open match between World No. 1 Jannik Sinner and Vit Kopriva, commentators Brad Gilbert and Jason Goodall couldn’t help but discuss the shocking news. The two paused their match commentary, shifting their focus entirely to Swift and Kelce’s engagement. Gilbert was the first to mention it, saying, “Taylor Swift is engaged,” to which Goodall asked, “With?” In a quick response, Goodall added, “A new record, or?” Gilbert then clarified, “She is engaged. Taylor Swift is getting married.”
As if the excitement wasn’t enough, the official US Open Twitter account joined the fun by congratulating the couple with a nostalgic clip from their previous visit to Arthur Ashe Stadium. The post read, “I wanna be your end game. Congratulations to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce on their engagement!”
Though neither Swift nor Kelce are tennis regulars, the couple has a special connection to the US Open. Last year, they made their first public appearance together at the iconic event, further fueling their growing relationship. In a candid moment with GQ, Kelce reflected on their US Open outing: “I’m just enjoying the fun of being at this really cool event that I always wanted to go to with the person that I love.”
