Nearly two decades after Taylor Swift released “Love Story,” she finally said “yes.”
Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement in an Instagram post on Tuesday. The billionaire popstar and NFL tight end began dating in 2023.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the caption read.
The post garnered over 30 million likes in under 24 hours, sent Swift to the top of Google Trends, and spurred near-instant fanfare from Swifties online.
It also presented a unique marketing opportunity for brands bold enough to seize the moment.
Olipop
Following the engagement news, prebiotic soda company Olipop offered customers a “Tayvis”-themed discount.
“He OLIPOP-ed the question… and it’s certainly not a paper ring 💍,” the caption said. “In honor of our fave English and Gym teachers tying the knot, we’re giving all our Team Tayvis fans out there an extra 13% off any subscription order… ✨FOREVER✨.”
The company added, “Because true love (and great soda) should last a lifetime. Cheers to the happy couple!”
Starbucks
Although Starbucks is in the middle of advertising its beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte, the coffeehouse chain took a brief intermission to acknowledge the engagement.
“are we supposed to keep talking about PSL like nothing happened???” the company said in a screenshot shared on Instagram.
In the caption, the company wrote, “the long list of starbucks lovers just got a +1.”
