The internet collectively lost its mind when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement on August 26, 2025, and the memes that followed are absolutely iconic.
Taylor and Travis's Instagram post read "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married" and immediately went viral on Twitter, TikTok, and Reddit. Apparently, their engagement announcement got over the 10 million likes in just one hour, which is a record, and allegedly crashed Instagram.
Swifties joked that they were in a group chat getting more texts about Taylor's engagement than their own (and even a professor canceled his classes in honor of the day). Users called the comparison as "the closest thing that America has ever seen to a royal wedding"; it has been trending since and has dominated social media.
People have been memeing the couple's proposal photos and treating it like a royal wedding, and Twitter/X has gone from regular Twitter to ENDLESS Taylor/Travis posts everywhere. These memes reflect how their engagement completely broke the internet in the most hilariously chaotic way possible.
