Sociology prof celebrates Swift–Kelce engagement, says marriage boom would boost emotional well-being of women
August 29, 2025
Professor and author Brad Wilcox says he believes the engagement of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce could spur a marriage boom, noting that married women tend to be happier than women who are unmarried.
“What makes Taylor Swift’s engagement important is that you have a woman who has been an icon and advocate for empowered, single women, someone who has even pushed back against JD Vance’s childless cat lady comment. Yet even this progressive icon of female independence is now choosing marriage,” Wilcox told Fox News Digital.
