\n\tAfter Taylor Swift<\/a> and Travis Kelce<\/a> announced their engagement on Tuesday (Aug. 26), social media exploded with well-wishes for the superstar couple \u2014 from ecstatic fans<\/a> and the pair\u2019s famous friends alike.<\/p>\n \n\tCelebrity reactions included Sabrina Carpenter, who is the only featured artist on Swift\u2019s upcoming The Life of a Showgirl album, teaming up with her Eras tourmate for the project\u2019s title track. On Instagram Stories, Carpenter shared<\/a> 10 white hearts above an engagement photo of the couple embracing with their foreheads touching.<\/p>\n \n\tCharlie Puth shared<\/a> the same photo on his Instagram Stories, writing above it: \u201cCongratulations Taylor & Travis! This is the best part of life. So happy for you both!!\u201d Puth was in his own #EngagementEra last year, before marrying longtime family friend Brooke Sansone in September 2024.<\/p>\n \n\tJelly Roll couldn\u2019t contain his all-caps excitement on Instagram Stories, writing<\/a>, \u201cLet\u2019s go TRAV AND TAYLOR! Congrats big dog! @killatrav love looks good on you bubba.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAvril Lavigne shared<\/a> the engagement post too, writing on Instagram Stories: \u201cAwww huge congratulations to @taylorswift and @killatrav.\u201d She finished her message with three ring emojis and three shimmering pink heart emojis. Chainsmokers DJ\/producer Alex Pall chimed in<\/a> on Instagram Stories too, with a message for the NFL star: \u201cShout out to the lover boy @killatrav.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tBeyond Swift\u2019s fellow pop stars, Kelce\u2019s football family also weighed in on the news, with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes sharing<\/a> three red hearts on Instagram Stories alongside the engagement post, and his wife Brittany writing<\/a> on IG: \u201cTwo of the most genuine people meet & fall in love. Just so happy for these two.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tGracie Hunt, daughter of Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt, shared<\/a> her \u201ccongratulations\u201d on Instagram Stories, adding, \u201cso happy for you two.\u201d She also released a statement to People<\/a>, which read: \u201cI can\u2019t stop smiling \u2014 Travis and Taylor\u2019s engagement feels like a modern fairytale unfolding in real life. Their love story has captured so many hearts, and now it\u2019s stepping into an even more magical chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSome more of Swift\u2019s high-profile friends sent messages too, with Taylor\u2019s childhood bestie Abigail (name-dropped on her Fearless single \u201cFifteen\u201d) simply writing<\/a>, \u201cThis \u2764\ufe0f,\u201d above the engagement news on Instagram Stories, while supermodel\/actress and longtime #Squad member Cara Delevingne wrote<\/a> \u201c@taylorswift + @killatrav\u201d with 14 hearts-on-fire emojis.<\/p>\n \n\tAfter President Trump\u2019s surprisingly supportive reaction<\/a> to the engagement news earlier Tuesday, another vocal Swift critic, conservative host Megyn Kelly, shared that she was \u201crooting\u201d for the couple \u2014 among other less-cheerful words. \u201cI am rooting for them,\u201d Kelly wrote on her website<\/a>, after saying that Swift lost her when \u201cshe went political and, like anybody who does that in the arts, they risk alienating half the country.\u201d Kelly\u2019s essay continued: \u201cI don\u2019t think it is a coincidence that the person she ultimately decided to settle down with is a real man, is a football player, is a tough guy who doesn\u2019t really take a lot of sh\u2013 from people. That is generally attractive to most women. I think it is no accident that this gal from the south [Note: Swift is from Pennsylvania] who started out singing country songs found him attractive, and he was ultimately the one who won her heart. I also think it is obvious the reasons why he would be attracted to Taylor Swift, so I am rooting for them.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSwift and Kelce had nothing but support from tennis legend Martina Navratilova, who simply shared a clapping emoji alongside the news on X.<\/p>\n \n\tAfter sharing the role of King Herod in this month\u2019s Jesus Christ Superstar live production at the Hollywood Bowl<\/a>, actors John Stamos and Josh Gad once again teamed up to congratulate Taylor and Travis, lip-syncing to Swift\u2019s Billboard Hot 100 top five hit \u201cLove Story\u201d while riding the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World. \u201cWhen you hear the happiest news at the happiest place on earth,\u201d the pair captioned the video, asking in their collab Instagram post<\/a>: \u201cWhere were you when you heard the news?\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tCelebrity chef Gordon Ramsay gave Stamos and Gad a run for their money, as he perfectly played off Swift and Kelce\u2019s original \u201cYour English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married\u201d caption in his own Instagram post. \u201cFrom one ring to the next,\u201d Ramsay wrote alongside a photo of himself with Kelce on the field for the 2023 Super Bowl, in which Kelce\u2019s Chiefs beat the Eagles. \u201cCongrats @killatrav & @taylorswift ! From your favourite Home Ec Teacher.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
