Indiana Teen’s Viral Performance Predicted Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Proposal

When I get tasked with a project that involves entertainment, I take it very seriously. So, when I was asked to be a part of the first-ever Lip Sync Show for The Highland Challenger League, I had a vision of using three different Taylor Swift songs for one of our lip-sync performances. This is a bit of a throwback from February of 2024.

You might know Taylor Merriss, who is the Special Projects Coordinator with the Evansville Police Department. Even though she isn't a Swifty or an on-stage type of person, she completely careered her performance. I am still so amazed that we pulled this off.

Viral Love Story Prediction

Chase DeWig and Izzy Loehr were freshmen at New Tech High School in Evansville, Indiana, when we performed this show. It took a little bit of convincing to talk them both into being part of our Eras Lip Sync. But Chase is my son, and Izzy is a total Swifty, so they agreed. They didn't even have to rehearse, and they are going viral for this super sweet 'Say Yes' moment.

As we were preparing for this, I told everyone that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey would get engaged. And now that they are engaged, I feel like we need to share this totally sweet love story. And as juniors, they are still a couple.
