Taylor Swift fans have just noticed a hidden detail in her and Travis Kelce's engagement post caption.

The soon-to-be newlyweds, who had been dating for around two years, broke the exciting news with a sweet five-photo Instagram carousel featuring snaps from the proposal.

The caption on the joint post, which has since broken records, reads: "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married [dynamite emoji]."

Now, after the initial shock of the engagement announcement died down, it didn't take long for Swifties to begin deciphering all the possible hidden details and deeper meanings found in both the images and the caption.

One key element that really stood out was the dynamite emoji - something which doesn't immediately scream romance when you've got an array of hearts, wedding-themed and all-round cutesy options on offer.

However, there's said to be a very sweet symbolism behind why Taylor and Travis opted for that emoji in particular.

Another name for dynamite is TNT, which could stand for 'Taylor n' Travis' in this case - something which fans rushed to social media to gush over.

"Istg I just figured out why Taylor and Travis used the emoji in their announcement, TNT as in T&T as in their initials as in the bracelet she's been wearing for months as in they’re masterminds and I'm a huge dumb*ss," quipped one X user.

A second chimed in: "No cause the emoji she used. A TNT Taylor and Travis OMG!"

"Genuinely the cutest caption, cheesy and corny just like her, the tnt emoji!" beamed a third, while a fourth chimed in: "I just love how she used a dynamite emoji in her caption TnT forever."

A fifth hyped: "And the emoji in the post.....TNT...Taylor and Travis!"

Another mused: "My dumb*ss just realised the emoji in her caption means TnT... like Taylor and Travis..."

And a final Swiftie echoed: "WAIT STOP her putting the TNT emoji cause Taylor and Travis are TNT stop it!"

Tay and Trav's engagement post ranks ninth in the most-liked Instagram posts posted by non-footballers, which makes the 'Love Story' singer the recipient of the most-liked post ever for any woman on the popular social media platform.

According to figures shared by Meta with Billboard, the world-famous engagement announcement amassed a staggering 14 million likes in just over an hour.

And, at the time of writing, about 22 hours after it was first uploaded, the Instagram post stands at a mammoth 29.8 million likes.
