Nebraska deletes photoshopped Taylor Swift engagement photo with Herbie Husker

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s uber-viral engagement announcement on Tuesday afternoon sent Swifties far and wide into a tizzy. It also set the stage for the betrothed couple’s first public appearance together at Thursday night’s season-opening showdown between Cincinnati and Nebraska inside Arrowhead Stadium — home of Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs.

And while the Cornhuskers’ 20-17 win spoiled the moment for Jason and Travis Kelce — both Bearcats alums — and their significant others, it capped off a wild week for all involved.

Potentially looking to ride that wave Friday morning, the Nebraska social media team inexplicably posted the iconic picture of the Kelce-Swift engagement shared Tuesday on Instagram. Only now with Cornhuskers mascot Herbie Husker photoshopped in place of Travis Kelce in the romantic scene with the caption: “change of plans.”

Nebraska’s X/Twitter post was quickly deleted, but the internet never forgets. Check out the post below:

Taylor Swift attends Nebraska vs. Cincinnati game at Arrowhead Stadium

Just a few days after she announced her engagement to Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift is at a football game. She and her new fiancee attended Thursday’s game between Nebraska and Cincinnati at Arrowhead Stadium.

There were questions about whether Swift and Kelce would be at Thursday’s game, considering who was playing. After all, Kelce played for UC from 2008-12 before beginning his decorated career with the Kansas City Chiefs. Since his alma mater was in town, he was expected to attend.

It was still unclear if Swift would be there with him, though. The Cincinnati Football X account had its cameras ready, though, capturing the moment the pop star walked in alongside Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany.

Swift has had a constant presence at Chiefs games since she started dating Kelce in 2023. Their relationship began shortly after Kelce went on his podcast and expressed his disappointment that he didn’t get to meet Swift at a concert at Arrowhead – a moment she called a “man-tantrum” during an appearance on his New Heights podcast.

The couple has been the talk of the sports and entertainment worlds since. During their first year together, Kelce got a Super Bowl ring with the Chiefs. Now, Swift has a ring of her own after he proposed in a moment captured in the Instagram post heard ’round the world.

It turns out, Kelce proposed to Swift around the time she appeared on his podcast alongside his brother, Jason. She announced her album The Life of a Showgirl, which will be released in October, in a rare interview with the two brothers.
