Taylor Swift’s Engagement Sparks Wild Response From Her Ex

Andy Slye, who claims to be Taylor Swift's high school ex, responded to her engagement with a nostalgic photo and playful remarks, amid widespread public interest.

  • On Tuesday, August 26, Taylor Swift, singer-songwriter, and Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs tight end, announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post captioned `Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married` after Kelce proposed earlier this week in his garden.
  • Andy Slye, self-described high-school ex, resurfaced on X posting a likely 2008 throwback photo with Swift and joking about his 'girlfriend from high school' getting engaged, though fans question the image's authenticity.
  • The announcement triggered a social-media and commerce surge, with Instagram engagement post surpassing over 33 million likes, song 'So High School' streaming figures rising 394%, and Kansas City Chiefs jersey sales spiking 200% Tuesday.
  • A source said Joe Alwyn will not reach out to congratulate Swift and hopes she is well, while Kayla Nicole posted a cryptic gym video amid the engagement news on Friday.
  • Looking ahead, Swift's new album arrives on Oct. 3, and coverage suggests 'The Life of a Showgirl' will explore mature love, compromise, and adult relationships.
