Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is getting in on the Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift engagement news with a simple reaction.
After dating for around two years, star tight end Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs and Taylor Swift are taking the next step. The two broke some big news on Tuesday, August 26, when they took to the social media site Instagram to announce that they’re officially engaged and will become husband and wife.
Everyone from musicians to sports stars are congratulating Kelce and Swift in their own way, including LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers. Even with this being cut and roster day across the NFL, there’s no denying that this is huge news, so it’s not a surprise that sports personalities like James, even those outside of the NFL, would respond.
In the Instagram post, Swift and Kelce stated, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” and shared a gallery of picturesque photos of Kelce and Swift getting engaged in a garden. James responded to the post on Instagram.
Lakers Star LeBron James Congratulates Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
On the Instagram post, James had a simple but meaningful response: He “liked” the post. That might not seem like a lot, but the post had comments turned off, so he wouldn’t have been able to make a real comment. Plus, James was one of the first people to “like” the most, making his response even more meaningful.
We here at Heavy Sports wish Kelce and Swift all of the best. Kelce and Swift have been together since summer 2023, so they’re coming up on their two-year anniversary as a couple, and we can’t think of a better way for them to celebrate.
Meanwhile, James is still at the heart of some trade talk, but the longer the time goes, the most likely it is that he’ll stay with the Lakers. In a feature published on Tuesday, August 26, Mikail Nakhuda of Lake Show Life stated, “LeBron James’ only clear exit from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Golden State Warriors is if he demands a trade, and specifically names them as the place he wants to go.” He added, “Without that, the Lakers are most likely not going to be interested in moving on from him.”
It’s Been a Big Year for Taylor Swift
This has been a life-changing year for Swift. Swift announced the good news of getting her masters back in May on Instagram with a message stating, “You belong with me” and a picture of her holding her beloved music.
“Hi. I’m trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow,” Swift stated on her site. “A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through.” She also thanked her fans for their support.
So, Swift has her masters back, and now, she has a partner for life in Kelce. That sounds like a storybook ending for this couple.
