Taylor Swift’s love story during the era’s tour. It was Sarah’s favorite song, the song they’d danced to on their first date, the song she’d been obsessed with since high school.

 Jake got tickets for the July 20th, 2024 show in Philadelphia. The plan. During Love Story, when Taylor sang, he knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring. Jake would actually kneel and pull out a ring. Perfect, right? Except Jake didn’t account for one thing. Taylor Swift has incredible vision and notices everything. Halfway through Love Story.

 As Jake was getting down on one knee, Taylor saw him. She stopped singing midverse. “Wait, wait, wait. Are you proposing right now?” she shouted into the microphone. 50,000 people turned to look. Jake froze. Sarah didn’t know what was happening. Taylor started laughing. “Oh my god, you’re proposing during my song about proposals.

 Get up here, both of you, right now.” Security brought them on stage. Taylor handed the microphone to Jake. Finish what you started. Jake shaking proposed on stage. Sarah crying said yes. Taylor screamed. She said yes. And 50,000 people lost their minds. Viral 350 million views. Jake Morrison had been dating Sarah Chen for three and a half years when he decided it was time to propose.

 They’d met in college, University of Pennsylvania 2019. Jake was studying engineering. Sarah was premed. They’d been paired as lab partners in a chemistry class. And within two weeks, they were dating. Their relationship had been solid from the start. No drama, no breakups, just steady, genuine love. They supported each other through school, through Sarah’s grueling medical school applications, through Jake’s job search after graduation.

 By late 2023, Jake knew Sarah was the one. He wanted to marry her. The question was how to propose. Sarah was a massive Swifty, had been since high school. Her dorm room in college had been covered in Taylor Swift posters. She knew every album, every lyric, every deep cut. And her absolute favorite song, the song she’d played on repeat for years, was Love Story.

 It’s just perfect. Sarah had told Jake once the whole Romeo and Juliet narrative, but with a happy ending. The imagery, the buildup, and the line. He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring. I’ve imagined that moment my whole life. Jake had filed that information away. In January 2024, Jake bought an engagement ring, a simple but elegant diamond solitire, exactly what Sarah had once described as her dream ring during a casual conversation about jewelry.

 In March 2024, Jake had driven to Sarah’s parents house in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and asked her father for permission to marry Sarah. Her father had been thrilled, giving his blessing immediately. Now Jake just needed the perfect proposal moment. And then in April 2024, the perfect opportunity presented itself.

 Taylor Swift announced additional era’s tour dates, including a show in Philadelphia on July 20th, 2024. Jake immediately knew this was it. He’d proposed during Love Story. At the exact moment Taylor sang, he knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring. Jake would actually kneel to the ground and pull out a ring. Sarah would lose her mind.

It would be perfect. The only problem was getting tickets. Era’s tour tickets were notoriously difficult to get, sold out instantly, resale prices astronomical. But Jake was determined. He set up alerts on every resale site, checked constantly, and finally in May 2024, found two tickets for the July 20th Philadelphia show.

 They weren’t cheap, $650 each, $1, 300 total. But Jake didn’t care. This was Sarah’s dream, and he was going to make it happen. He bought the tickets without telling Sarah, planning to surprise her. In June 2024, Jake sat Sarah down. I have a surprise, he said, pulling up the tickets on his phone. What is it? Sarah asked, curious.

 Jake turned the phone to show her. Era’s tour Philadelphia, July 20th, 2024. Sarah screamed. Literally screamed, then started crying, then hugged Jake so hard he could barely breathe. Are you serious? We’re going to the Aerys tour. We’re going,” Jake confirmed, grinning. “Oh my god, Jake, this is I can’t believe. Thank you.

” She had no idea he was planning to propose there. Over the next month, Sarah prepared for the concert like it was a major life event. She made friendship bracelets, an era’s tour tradition. Fans made and traded beaded bracelets with song lyrics. She planned her outfit, a sparkly dress inspired by the lover era. She made a sign that said, “It’s been a long time coming.” A lyric from Long Story Short.

Jake, meanwhile, was planning the proposal logistics. He’d researched when Love Story typically appeared in the set list. It was part of the Fearless Era section, usually about 45 minutes into the show. He’d practiced getting the ring box out of his pocket smoothly. didn’t want to fumble. He’d even watched YouTube videos of the exact moment in the song when Taylor sang.

 He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring so he’d time it perfectly. Jake told exactly three people about his plan. His best friend Marcus, who gave him a pep talk, “Don’t drop the ring, bro.” Sarah’s best friend, Jessica, who promised not to tell Sarah, but would help capture the moment on video.

 And his younger sister, Amy, who was sworn to secrecy. July 20th, 2024 arrived. Jake woke up nervous, palms sweating, heart racing. He had the ring in his pocket, carefully secured in a small box wrapped in a handkerchief so it wouldn’t make a bulge in his jeans. Sarah woke up excited, oblivious to Jake’s plan, just thrilled about seeing Taylor.

 They drove to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, the massive stadium where the Philadelphia Eagles played, now transformed for the era’s tour. Their seats were decent, about 40 rows back, center view, close enough to see the stage clearly, but not so close that Jake would be immediately visible to Taylor, or so he thought.

 The show started at 700 p.m. Taylor opened with Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince and Sarah screamed so loudly Jake’s ears rang. For the next 45 minutes, Jake watched Sarah experience pure joy, singing every word, dancing, crying during emotional songs, living her dream. And then as the show transitioned into the fearless era, Taylor’s costume changed to a sparkly gold dress and the opening notes of Love Story began.

 Sarah grabbed Jake’s hand, squeezed it tight, and sang along from the very first word. We were both young when I first saw you. Jake’s heart was pounding. This was it. The moment he waited, singing along. He’d learned the lyrics specifically for this, pretending everything was normal. The song built verse, pre chorus, chorus.

 Sarah was completely absorbed, singing with her whole heart. And then the bridge, the moment Jake had been waiting for. Taylor sang. He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring. And Jake did exactly that. He got down on one knee, pulled the ring box out of his pocket, and opened it. For a second, Sarah didn’t notice. She was singing, facing the stage, completely in the moment.

 But the people around them noticed. Someone shouted, “Oh my god, he’s proposing.” And suddenly, everyone in their section was turning, pointing, screaming. Sarah heard the commotion, turned and saw Jake on one knee, ring box open, looking up at her. Her hands flew to her mouth. Jake. But before Jake could say anything, something unexpected happened.

 Taylor Swift stopped singing, not just paused. Stopped mid verse. The backing track kept playing for a second before the band realized and cut the music. 50,000 people went silent, confused. Taylor was staring into the crowd, scanning, clearly looking for something. And then she spotted them. Jake, still on one knee. Sarah, hands over her mouth, tears streaming.

 The ring box open. Taylor’s face broke into a huge smile. She grabbed her microphone and shouted, “Wait, wait, wait. Are you proposing right now? During Love Story, the stadium erupted in screams. Jake, still on one knee, looked up at the stage in shock. Sarah was crying, laughing, completely overwhelmed. Taylor started laughing, delighted.

 Oh my god, you’re proposing during my song about proposals. That’s the most perfect thing I’ve ever seen. What’s your name? Jake’s mouth opened, but no sound came out. He was frozen. Sarah, still crying, managed to shout, “Jake. His name is Jake. Jake.” Taylor repeated, “Okay, Jake, here’s what we’re doing.

 You and what’s her name?” Sarah. Someone in the crowd yelled. Jake and Sarah, get up here on stage right now. You’re finishing this proposal on my stage during Love Story because that’s the most romantic thing ever, and I’m living for this. Security immediately moved toward Jake and Sarah. Jake stood up, still holding the ring box, completely in shock.

And suddenly they were standing on the era’s tour stage under the lights in front of 50,000 people. Taylor ran over to them grinning. “Okay, okay, let me see the ring.

” Jake, hands trembling, showed her the ring box. “Oh my god, it’s beautiful,” Taylor said. Then she turned to Sarah. “Did you know this was happening?” Sarah shook her head, still crying. No, I had no idea. Taylor laughed. Perfect. Okay, here’s what’s happening. Jake, you’re going to finish this proposal properly. I’m going to give you the microphone and you’re going to ask Sarah to marry you in front of 50,000 people.

Sarah, you’re going to say yes or not. It’s your choice, but I’m really hoping you say yes because otherwise this is going to be super awkward. The crowd laughed. Taylor handed the microphone to Jake. Jake looked at Sarah, his girlfriend of three and a half years, the woman he loved, standing on stage at a Taylor Swift concert, crying and laughing and completely overwhelmed.

 He got down on one knee again. This time on the ERA’s tour stage with Taylor Swift standing 5t away and 50,000 people watching. Sarah, Jake said, his voice shaking but audible through the microphone. I’ve been planning this for 6 months. I bought this ring in January. I asked your dad for permission in March.

 I got these tickets specifically so I could propose during Love Story because it’s your favorite song and because I wanted this moment to be as perfect as you deserve. Sarah was sobbing, nodding. You’re the smartest, kindest, funniest person I’ve ever met. Jake continued. You make me want to be better. You support me through everything and I can’t imagine my life without you.

 So Sarah Chen, will you marry me? For a second, there was silence. Then Sarah screamed, “Yes, yes. Oh my god, yes.” Taylor screamed too. She said, “Yes.” The stadium exploded. 50,000 people cheering, screaming, applauding. Phones everywhere capturing the moment.

That’s iconic.” Sarah, still crying, managed to say, “Thank you. Thank you so much. This is I can’t believe this is real.” “It’s real,” Taylor said, grinning.

 “And now we’re finishing the song with you guys on stage. Come on,” Taylor gestured for them to stand beside her. The band started playing Love Story again from the chorus. And Jake and Sarah stood on stage, holding hands, newly engaged, while Taylor Swift sang Love Story, and 50,000 people sang along with them.

 When the song ended, Taylor hugged them one more time. “Send me wedding pictures, okay, I want to see. We will,” Sarah promised. They walked off stage.

 What strikes me most about this story is Jake’s thoughtfulness. He didn’t just propose. He proposed during Sarah’s favorite song at her dream concert. At the exact lyrical moment that references proposals, that level of attention to what matters to your partner is what great relationships are built on. But then Taylor saw him and stopped the song and brought them on stage.
