He said yes: Swifties accidentally capture marriage proposal at Eras show in Milan
Taylor Swift indirectly had a helping hand in making a love story come true in Italy.
Three young women were enjoying Swift’s show in Milan on Monday night, screaming lyrics and making videos when they accidentally documented a marriage proposal during the bridge of “Love Story.”
The couple, wearing matching “Lover” attire, were both singing and swaying to the lyrics right before the proposal. Then one of the men pulls a ring out of his pocket while the other has his gaze fixed on Swift, briefly turning to his partner, who promptly knelt down and pulled out a ring.
The section around the couple erupts in cheers and applause as soon as they catch wind of what occurred, pointing phones and cameras at them to capture the moment.
“When you and your friends are trying to take a cool video of yourselves singing the Love Story bridge and THIS happens,” wrote the woman who posted the video.
The video has over five million views and one million likes since it was first posted on TikTok.
The woman who posted the video, named Federica, and her pals weren’t the only Swifties delighted by the “Love Story” proposal, with many offering well wishes to the couple and other thoughts in the comments.
“All the phones and attention immediately went to them that’s so precious, everyone just cheering and filming,” Sydney Beck wrote in the comments.
“They are adorable!!!!!!! Their matching tie dye are you kidding me they look so happy I hope they have a beautiful life together,” a user named Via wrote.
Another wrote: “Cutest couple.”
Others were more emotional, writing that they were “in tears” over the proposal.
“Not me crying for strangers on the internet… again,” Melissa wrote.
Even non-Swifties were moved by the gesture, writing about how much they loved “Love Story” proposals.
