“It’s an Enchanted Engagement kind of summer, Swifties. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially engaged, and what better way to celebrate,” the city said in a post. “From Fearless sing-alongs to Reputation-era dance moves, this night will be a Love Story you won’t want to miss. Ladies, bring your Travis Kelce out to celebrate, dress in your favorite Era, and get ready to scream the lyrics louder than Arrowhead on game day.”
