Rockband Foreigner wants to play at Taylor Swift’s wedding
In the 70s and 80s they were among the greatest stars in the music scene. Now Foreigner want to perform at the wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce – and make an offer to the couple.
The British-American rock band Foreigner (“Cold As Ice”, “Waiting for A Girl Like You”) offered to play at the wedding of pop superstar Taylor Swift (“Shake it off”) and American football professional Trevis Kelce. The group turned to the celebrity couple with an open letter on Instagram.
Open letter to Swift and Kelce
“Dear Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, we know what love is,” it said, alluding to the famous Foreigner hit “I Want To Know What Love Is”. “It took us 40 years to find out … and now you know it too. Please consider this as our official offer to be your wedding band.”
Under Foreigner fans, the Instagram post ensured mixed reactions in the comments. While some found the offer embarrassed, others reacted enthusiastically.
The 14-time Grammy winner Swift (35) and the three-time Superbowl champion Kelce (35) from the Kansas City Chiefs announced their engagement in August. The two romantic photos posted on Instagram and jokingly wrote: “Your English teacher and your sports teacher marry.” An appointment for the wedding was initially not known.
