Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement following a two-year romance was swiftly praised by stars from the entertainment and sports worlds, British royalty and even the US president.
"Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the couple announced in an Instagram post Tuesday.
The couple took the spotlight after Kelce, a star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and Super Bowl champion, made a public appeal on his podcast, New Heights, two years ago, expressing a desire to meet the superstar singer.
Their whirlwind romance soon began, with the pair regularly photographed at football games and Swift's recent Eras tour.
The engagement post has amassed over 14 million likes in just a couple hours, liked by scores of public figures, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, Glee star Lea Michele, and actors Nikki Glaser and Molly Shannon.
Jenny Han, the author behind The Summer I Turned Pretty, which notably relies on Swift's music throughout the Amazon Prime show, also liked the post.
Other celebrities, like Sabrina Carpenter, Cara Delevingne and Swift's longtime friend Abigail Anderson, have reposted the announcement on their Instagram stories.
Here are some celebrity reactions to the couple's engagement.

"Obviously she had a lot of boyfriends, so we know all about that. So hopefully this one will, you know, stick forever. Travis seems like a great guy. She seems super happy, so I’m happy for her," said Swiatek, a Swift fan, who commented right after winning her match Tuesday at the US Open.

"Great for them. You know, that’s a blessing, I mean, anytime you find that type of joy, happiness and love, I think that’s a beautiful thing ... I’m so happy for them, Trav, Taylor.
