Billionaire pop star Taylor Swift announced her engagement to boyfriend Travis Kelce earlier this week. Sending her fans into a frenzy on social media, their joint post, captioned, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” got over 30 million likes. However, Swift’s alleged high school boyfriend, Andy Slye’s post on X (formerly Twitter) got 10 million more.
While the viral post talked about Taylor’s engagement, what followed left the internet in shock. Slye posted screenshots of Taylor Swift’s songs, ‘I Forgot That You Existed’, ‘This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things’, ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’, and ‘Andy, Get Over It’. Not only did he caption the comment, “really should have seen this coming”, netizens were quick to question if those songs were about him.
‘Hope her husband isn’t some handsome buff football player’
It all started with one social media post when Slye reacted to Taylor Swift’s engagement carousel. Sharing an old photo, he said that he used to tell himself, “It’ll be ok. She wasn’t right for you.” Referring to Swift’s Super Bowl champion fiancé, Travis Kelce, her then boyfriend wrote, “I just hope her husband isn’t some handsome buff football player.”
In an interesting turn of events, Slye even thanked Taylor Swift for bringing him close to his partner. He claimed that “Taylor was a topic the first time we met,” as the two bonded over her music. A wedding photographer by profession, he wrote that the couple loved to film football weddings, pointing at the footballer fiancé of Swift.

Answering with witty replies, Andy Slye was quick to gain the Internet’s attention. When asked if “all those songs” were about him, he humouredly replied, “No, only the ones about breaking up.”
Taylor Swift’s easter egg proposal
The fans are still not over the proposal of all time, after one of the most popular female singers got engaged. They couldn’t help but notice the subtle easter eggs in the whole event and days that followed up to the announcement.
When Taylor Swift announced her upcoming album, ‘Life of a Showgirl’ on her now brother-in-law’s podcast, fans did not miss Travis Kelce’s subtle side-eye when Swift casually referred to him as her ‘boyfriend.’ It was later revealed by Travis Kelce‘s father, Ed, that he had proposed to her nearly two weeks ago.
