From one bride-to-be to another, Taylor Swift is celebrating the newly engaged Breezy Johnson!
Soon after Johnson, 30, said “yes” to her now-fiancé Connor Watkins — who proposed at the finish line of the women’s Super-G race in Cortina d’Ampezzo on Friday, Feb. 12 — Swift, 36, congratulated the gold medalist in the comments on her post.
Watkins, a former quarterback for the Villanova Wildcats, used a ring box printed with Swift’s lyrics from her song “The Alchemy” while popping the question to Johnson, specifically the line: “Who are we to fight the alchemy?”

The engagement caught the attention of Swift, who commented on Johnson’s post to celebrate the big day — and she couldn’t help but add more of her lyrics.
“‘Where’s the trophy? He just comes running over to me’ CONGRATULATIONS!!!” Swift, who became a fiancée herself after NFL star Travis Kelce popped the question last August, wrote in the comments, quoting more of “The Alchemy.”
Johnson, who won gold in the women’s downhill on Feb. 8, got engaged to Watkins in front of the crowd at Tofane Alpine Skiing Center on Thursday a few moments after she crashed during her Super-G run, her final race of the 2026 Games.
After the grand proposal, Johnson admitted to NBC that she told her now-fiancée that she “always kind of had the dream of getting engaged at the Olympics.”
Johnson said, “That was my hope, but it’s definitely a lot more crazy with everything just happening all at once, and the reality of it is so different than the way you imagined, and so much better.”

Watkins told NBC he had been planning out this proposal for one year and “really hoping that I could get in the finish area and do it the way I wanted.”
“And it turned out we could, and we’re just super excited,” said Watkins, who added that the moment had “gone above and beyond our wildest imagination.”
