Introduction to the Engagement
It was the engagement heard ‘round the world — and food brands are hopping on the betrothal bandwagon by discounting their wares. On Aug. 26, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced they are engaged to be married, and Swifties around the globe have fully leaned in to the joy of the moment. Among those Swifties are chain restaurants, which have taken the opportunity to weigh in: Starbucks admitted its PSL drop was overshadowed; Panera and Auntie Anne’s punnily posted; and Buffalo Wild Wings offered to cater the wedding.
Food Brands Offering Discounts and Freebies
There are also some food brands who took the happy news to offer tasty discounts and freebies — like Krispy Kreme, who offered free doughnut rings for two hours on Aug. 26. Here are all the food deals and specials being offered in honor of Swift and Kelce’s “Love Story”:
