I Did Not Have Swiftie Boyfriends Complaining About Being On A ‘Clock’ After Her Proposal On My Bingo Card

by

Taylor Swift has clearly had a huge impact on many fans, both those who’ve grown up listening to her music and Millennials who’ve followed her career from the beginning. While it’s not surprising people reacted strongly when she got engaged to Travis Kelce, I didn’t expect it would suddenly create pressure for Swiftie boyfriends to step up their game in their own relationships.

Taylor Swift has a special relationship with her fans, often hinting at future music and projects well ahead of time. Her dedicated fanbase, known as Swifties, knows all the lyrics to her extensive catalog of over 270 songs and even developed unique traditions like trading friendship bracelets at concerts. So it’s no surprise they’re eager to share in her life’s next big moment. When Colleen O’Connor, a 34-year-old fan, heard about the proposal from Travis Kelce, her first thought was to ask her own boyfriend…

When’s it going to happen for us?

A New Yorker who’s been a Taylor Swift fan from the beginning said that watching Taylor Swift find lasting love has motivated her to discuss the future of her own relationship with her partner.

It would be nice if we could get engaged around the same time as she does. I’ve been showing my boyfriend the ring and pointing out how different it is – it’s not usually what I go for, but we’ve been discussing what kinds of rings I like.

A TikTok user posted a funny warning on the day Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement. He pointed out that any boyfriend or girlfriend who’d been dating for two years had just received an unspoken pressure to propose, thanks to the celebrity couple. Here’s his post:

Taylor Swift often faced criticism for having many relationships but struggling to find lasting love. So, when she got engaged, many of her fans started reflecting on their own relationships. Comedian Jeremy Cangiano put it well: she and Travis Kelce have truly redefined the relationship game.

Okay, guys, if you’re dating a Taylor Swift fan and you’ve been together for about two or three years, it’s time to start thinking about proposing. Seriously, the bar has been raised! Forget whatever timeline you had in mind – things have changed. Especially after what happened this afternoon, you’re officially under pressure to get engaged. There’s no delaying this, no options to consider – it’s time to buy a ring!

Swifties’ social media reactions proved him right, too. Just look at some of these tweets:

  • How do I tell my boyfriend he needs to propose ASAP so I can be engaged at the same time as Taylor Swift without sounding crazy – oxycontinNmybra
  • When I’ve been with my boyfriend longer than Taylor swift has been with Travis kelce yet THEYRE ENGAGED? we literally have a child IM HEATED – AshleySalmontha

It really shows how dedicated Taylor Swift’s fans are that some are even hoping to get engaged around the same time as her and Travis Kelce. While I knew they were enthusiastic, I didn’t realize this would create so much pressure on Swifties who are in relationships.
