Taylor Swift calls herself a ‘third wheel’ as two fans get engaged at meet and greet
Taylor Swift watched two Swifties get engaged right in front of her eyes during Friday’s reputation concert at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. “They walk into the meet and greet and he says ‘We met 5 years ago at the Red Tour’ and then… #thirdwheel,” the singer, 28, captioned a series of photos that documented the moment Swift was shocked by the romantic proposal in the backstage Rep Room.
After pulling off the most epic surprise, the groom-to-be tweeted, “[Taylor] called me a baller and said that she is never surprised. She also said we were incredible and to go get married!!!! IS THIS REAL LIFE?!?!”
Turns out, he had been planning the proposal since June 3 — a total of 41 days!

We were just two swifties that decided to attend a concert together in 2013. We fell in love with each other and almost five years later, I'm going to ask her to marry me where it all started. She is my BEST FRIEND and the love of my life. @taylornation13 @taylorswift13

That short-lived relationship followed Taylor’s split from Scottish DJ Calvin Harris in June 2016 after 15 months together.
Meanwhile, although Taylor has kept out the limelight for nearly a year, she’s returned in full force with the release of her 2017 album Reputation and subsequent world tour.
It’s her first tour since 1989, when she travelled the world and appeared on stage alongside members of her famous group of girlfriends.
