Beyond a fairytale engagement

Instagram temporarily crashed with millions of reposts and likes after 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift and three-time Super Bowl champion, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, announced their engagement last week.
Instagram temporarily crashed with millions of reposts and likes after 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift and three-time Super Bowl champion, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, announced their engagement last week. "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," they declared. Not really, though. No gym teacher could afford to propose to an English teacher with a $650,000 diamond ring, as Kelce did. Swift is worth $1.6 billion, while Kelce's fortune—far less than hers—stands at $70 million, according to Forbes.
The engagement announcement came a few weeks after Swift's most in-depth interviews in years on Kelce's "New Heights" podcast, co-hosted by his brother, Jason, where she also spoke about her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl.
Romanticisation of a fan-favourite "fairytale wedding" is not new. However, Swift and Kelce's marriage may turn out to be the most sensational marriage ever in American history. It might possibly be at par with Prince Charles and Princess Diana's 1981 wedding, which was dubbed the wedding of the 20th century and was viewed on television by an estimated 750 million people worldwide in addition to 3,500 attendees.
