Welcome back to Evolution of a Snake. I'm Zach. And I'm Madeline.

And we're back at you with a good old emergency video. Now, Best Believe that there is an episode

of the podcast that is quite long that you will be listening to right after this, where

we go deep diving into Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's pap walks and their street style.

Madeline, it's almost like we manifested something.

It's like we knew,

and we did know. We knew the whole time. We knew since day one. We were there. We took the pictures.

We said there's no fuck-ass filter today. Exactly. We took the pictures. Put that away.

We set up the flowers. We. We bought the ring. We bought the ring. So essentially, what we're talking about

if you live under a rock is that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey are engaged. Yay, confetti. And you know what?

People that have never even been invented yet have been talking about this. Like people from all corners of the earth have an opinion on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey engaged. I'm shocked. This is probably the biggest pop culture news all summer. If you have not gone over to the Patreon, Patreon. Patreon.com sociologist. I highly suggest that you do because that is where the breaking Taylor Nation news happened in the last 12 hours. We've had Madeline, who accidentally caught her reaction to Tavis engagement on film. We have had swiftologist live reaction on Patreon, audio space, 30 minutes, ready for you to listen to whenever you like. Did I cry? Well, yes. Did Madeline cry in her reaction? Well, yes.

It's a real swiftly community. And this is a place you want to be before the life of the showgirl.

So go get it. And the thing is that, like, it was so clearly coming. Like, didn't we know that this was on the horizon? Like, I thought we were all under the assumption that this was coming. But it is a

surprise. I gagged. I was, I said when it was

coming out that she was going to be on New Heights, I was like, is this going to be like an

engagement announcement? Well, it was an engagement. It might not have been an announcement.

It was an engagement. A couple more weeks. Every couple more weeks. I clocked the tea. It did gag the hell out of me, though. I'll be honest with you. I'm not going to pretend like I saw it coming. I was gagged. I thought I was going to die.

What surprised me most was the Instagram post. Like that really, really gagged me. When your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married, I mean, it's just so antithetical to like the entire ethos she's had, not just with Joe, but with all of her boyfriend. She's like, that's the one thing I have for myself, I'm not talking about it. And now it's like, I want to scream it from the rooftops. And I'm happy for her. I'm very happy for her. But it is like a jarring shift to be like, now look at my ring.

I always assumed that she would keep it a secret and she wouldn't tell anybody and she

would be married before she'd tell us. I never thought that there would be an engagement post.

Never in a million years. I never thought she would do that. So color me surprised.

And I thought it was going to be a single. Imagine being me
