Taylor Swift sang for one *very* lucky couple’s engagement party

Alexander Goldschmidt’s engagement party was better than everyone else’s engagement party.

After popping the question and getting an emphatic “yes!” from fiancé Ross Girard, the happy couple headed off to party with friends and family. Also, a big surprise: Taylor Swift and her acoustic guitar.

During his big toast thanking everyone for coming and keeping the engagement plans quiet, Goldschmidt admitted that he had one more big secret that he hadn’t shared with anyone. Then he invited “my friend Taylor” to join him.

Swift glided into the room at that point, guitar in hand, as the small crowd gasped and squealed with excitement. The pop star explained that Goldschmidt had emailed her to ask for the surprise performance of a special song for the couple, “King of My Heart.”

What a sweet way to celebrate such a joyous moment. Not everyone can get in touch with Taylor freaking Swift, but this just goes to show: it never hurts to ask!

Based on Goldschmidt’s Twitter feed, Swift stuck around for at least a little while after her performance to chat with the happy couple and pose for a few pics.

Big congrats to the happy couple. And to anyone who’s preparing to pop the question themselves, I’m sorry. The bar has just been raised.
