I admit, I am a bit of a Swiftie. Taylor Swift is a generational talent who has worked hard for her success. She is a songwriter, performer, actor, philanthropist, and producer. It was announced today that she and Kansas City Chiefs tight-end Travis Kelce who is also a solid entertainer are engaged to be married. That news sent the Interwebs into overdrive today.

I find this to be a needed joyful moment, considering how much we need joy right now. It shouldn’t be up to a young engaged couple, no matter their celebrity, to lift the spirits of millions of people. But in the situation that exists in America it’s what will lift spirits and spark imagination.

They are a lovely modern couple. They have been together for two years and have weathered her box office breaking Eras Tour and his trips to the Super Bowl. Guys, who have a problem with her, get over it. She has done a lot for the game of Football by bringing her Swifties along for the ride.

I think it’s great they are taking the next step. I think their wedding is going to be a significant cultural event, but hopefully it will be what they want it to be, a time to celebrate a couple tying the knot. God bless them both as they enter into their marriage, which is way more important than the wedding. Let’s hope They Are Ready For It.
