Taylor Swift Shows Off Stunning Engagement Photos On Instagram
Melting fans with her exciting news, Tay-Tay shared photos of herself and Travis enjoying a quiet, scenic outdoor space with plenty of greenery.
Travis, who got down on one knee, had Taylor tenderly holding his head in her hands in one photo as the happy couple stood surrounded by stone and gorgeous flowering plants. Taylor wore a strappy striped top and long skirt, highlighting her figure and her style, but it was her smile that was likely doing it for fans. The pop sensation wore her hair down, adding her signature red lipstick. In one photo, likely after she said yes, Taylor held Travis’ face, with the athlete doing the same back.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” Taylor captioned the photos.
Celebrity Likes, But Mixed Reviews
Singer Demi Lovato, actress Joey King, TikTok star Addison Rae, plus reality face Lisa Rinna left likes. The Daily Mail quickly covered the news, and it was here that some users felt that Taylor had settled for less than she is worth.
Noting Taylor’s popularity, one fan gained over 700 likes for saying: “If Travis screws this up, he will have an army unleashed upon him.” Here, another user replied: “The way he dumped his ex was vile. That poor thing. She deserved better than him. Taylor can have her leftovers.”
The comment likely referenced Travis’ ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole. Travis has denied accusations of him being “cheap” and that his breakup was driven by financial reasons.
Elsewhere, many fans sent love. “Aww, I love those two together. Congratulations!” was one positive reply. Taylor has also sparked pregnancy rumors over the last year, however fans seem to think that for now, she isn’t expecting. The blonde has, elsewhere, been making headlines for announcing her new The Life Of A Showgirl album.
