Taylor Swift announced the good news, the unexpected reaction from the old cast caused a stir

Taylor Swift confirmed her engagement to Travis Kelce after a long period of dating. What caught fans' attention the most was the mixed reaction of the ex-boyfriends to this good news.

According to Yahoo News, in the midst of the news that Taylor Swift is officially engaged to football star Travis Kelce caused a global explosion, Andrew Hardwick – the singer's high school ex-boyfriend – suddenly had a response that caused a stir in the online community.

Notably, Hardwick was the inspiration for Taylor to compose her first hit Teardrops On My Guitar, a song that helped American singers enter the international music industry. Therefore, his sharing about this important event quickly attracted the attention of the media and fans.

On social media, Andrew Hardwick wrote sarcastically but no less happily: "It feels weird that my high school girlfriend is finally engaged. I used to say to myself, "Andrew, it's okay, she's not for you. I just hope that her husband is not a handsome, muscular rugby player."

This status line immediately caused a storm because everyone understood that the person Hardwick was referring to was Travis Kelce – a famous NFL star who is handsome, strong and currently Taylor Swift's fiancé. Many fans also enjoyed commenting that Andrew was "flirting" with Kelce in a charming way.

In addition to the witty statement, Hardwick also surprised when he revealed that Taylor Swift's music has become a "bridge" for him and his current wife to bond. He shared that the two became close thanks to chatting about songs written by Taylor. "If it wasn't for Taylor, I probably wouldn't have met my wife," he admits.

Currently, Andrew Hardwick and his wife run the wedding filming business together. He even joked that he was willing to accept if Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce needed someone to record the moment of the big day. This witty comment made the audience even more excited and left many wishes for his happy married life.

While Andrew Hardwick expressed joy mixed with humor, some of Taylor's other ex-lovers had a completely different reaction. Joe Alwyn – a years-long love affair with Taylor – was revealed to have no intention of contacting or sending congratulations. According to a source close to him, the actor felt it was unnecessary, and also thought that Taylor did not want to receive any messages from him.

Unlike Joe, Taylor Lautner – who used to be with the singer and inspired the song Back to December – has a warmer move. He reposted Taylor's engagement announcement on his personal Instagram, and this is also the only time the actor has shared this good news. In addition to the above three names, other ex-boyfriends such as Matty Healy, Harry Styles or Jake Gyllenhaal have remained silent, never making any public statements or actions related to Taylor Swift's important event.

The fact that Andrew Hardwick – Taylor's schoolboy love who stepped into music – happily spoke out has created an interesting perspective on the emotional journey of the "pop princess". While some ex-lovers choose to be silent or keep their distance, the witty and positive reaction from Hardwick makes the audience clearly feel that time has turned old memories into beautiful memories.

Above all, his charming wishes also make fans believe that even though Taylor Swift is now a global superstar, the imprint of high school love always has a special place in everyday stories.
