Swift Engagement

After the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win, Taylor Swift, singer, sprinted from Tokyo to kiss Travis Kelce, tight end, creating a global media moment.

History

Historical Context

On 29 July 1981 Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer at St Paul’s Cathedral, drawing an estimated 750 million TV viewers and 600 000 London onlookers. The ceremony, the first Englishwoman-to-marry the heir apparent since Anne Hyde over three centuries earlier, featured unprecedented security and set a template for televised, charity-linked celebrity weddings that cities now monetize and police tightly.
