We know what love is

Foreigner have offered their services to be the wedding band for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding.

Last week (August 26), the couple, who have been in a relationship since 2023, announced their engagement. They shared a series of photographs showing the singer and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end embracing in a garden.

“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” Swift captioned the post, which also included a close-up shot of her engagement ring.

Now, classic rock band Foreigner have put themselves forward as the potential wedding band for the ceremony, writing an open letter to the couple and referencing their best-known song in their pitch.

“Dear Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, we know what love is,” they wrote. “We spent 40 years figuring it out… And now you guys have too. Please accept this as our formal offer to be your wedding band. Best wishes, Foreigner.”

Kelce’s father Ed also revealed that Travis had made the proposal almost two weeks before the public announcement, at a garden in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. New details about their relationship are reportedly set to be revealed in a new documentary about the Kansas City Chiefs.

Kelce recently discussed their relationship and his admiration for Swift’s epic, three-hour ‘Eras Tour’ shows. “I hadn’t experienced somebody in the same shoes as me, having a partner who understands the scrutiny, the ups and downs of being in front of millions,” he said. “That was very relatable, seeing how exhausted she would get after shows.”

Swift has attended the last two Super Bowls to support Kelce, helping the 2024 game become the most-watched broadcast in US TV history since the 1969 moon landing. This year, her reaction to being booed by Eagles fans at the event went viral.

The news of the engagement came shortly after Swift announced her 12th album, ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’, during her first-ever appearance on the New Heights podcast, hosted by Kelce and his brother Jason.

‘The Life Of A Showgirl’ was co-produced by Max Martin and Shellback, alongside Swift herself. The pop star has shared the full tracklist for the album, which boasts a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter on the title track.

Swift has described the follow-up to last year’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ as “the record I’ve been wanting to make for a very long time”. The project will focus on “what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life” during the record-breaking ‘Eras Tour’.

Speculation is also swirling that Swift may headline the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show. When NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was asked about the possibility, he replied: “Maybe”.
