In honor of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s happy engagement news, here are all the times the Grammy winner sang about marriage in the lyrics of her hit songs.
After singing about it for nearly 20 years, Taylor Swift is finally getting married.
The “Love Story” songstress and her NFL star beau, Travis Kelce, announced their exciting engagement in a joint Instagram post on Tuesday.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” Swift, 35, wrote alongside a sweet snap of Kelce, also 35, down on one knee in a colorful garden.
Another pic showed Swift’s radiant engagement ring, which Page Six reported is an old mine brilliant-cut diamond in a gold bezel setting that her future husband designed himself.
But before there was Taylor and Travis, there was just a girl and her guitar.
In honor of the couple’s happy engagement news, here are all the times Swift sang about marriage in the lyrics of her hit songs.‘Mary’s Song’
After signing with Big Machine Records in 2005, Swift released her debut album, “Taylor Swift,” on October 24, 2006.
The self-titled record included “Mary’s Song,” a fan favorite song said to be about how the West Reading, Pennsylvania, native’s neighbors fell in love.
“A few years had gone and come around / We were sitting at our favorite spot in town / And you looked at me, got down on one knee,” Swift sang.
“Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle / Our whole town came and our mamas cried / You said I do and I did too,” she added.‘Fifteen’
Two years later, the now 14-time Grammy winner returned to the subject of marriage for her 2008 album “Fearless.”
“Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday / But I realized some bigger dreams of mine,” Swift sings in “Fifteen.”‘Love Story’
One of Swift’s first big hits, “Love Story,” marked a new take on William Shakespeare’s infamous “Romeo and Juliet.”
But unlike the original play, this “Fearless” tune had a happy ending for the titular characters.
“He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring / And said, Marry me, Juliet / You’ll never have to be alone / I love you and that’s all I really know / I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress / It’s a love story, baby, just say, Yes,” Swift wrote.‘We Were Happy’
“We Were Happy” was not heard until she released “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” in 2021.
“No one could touch the way we laughed in the dark / Talkin’ ’bout your daddy’s farm and you were gonna marry me.
