Foreigner Publicly Offers to Play Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Wedding

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame group used an Instagram open letter invoking its hit “I Want to Know What Love Is” to pitch itself for the couple’s yet-to-be-scheduled nuptials.

Overview

  • Foreigner posted a Sept. 3 Instagram note reading, “We know what love is… Please accept this as our formal offer to be your wedding band,” paraphrasing its 1984 No. 1 single.
  • Swift and Kelce, who announced their engagement in late August, have not publicly responded and have not shared a wedding date.
  • The post drew widespread coverage and heavy social-media reaction, with fans debating the idea in the comments.
  • Questions remain about what lineup could perform, with longtime singer Kelly Hansen retiring after the summer tour, Luis Maldonado stepping in, and co-founder Mick Jones limiting appearances due to Parkinson’s disease.
  • The band, inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2024 and currently touring, highlighted its catalog that includes “I Want to Know What Love Is,” “Juke Box Hero,” and “Waiting for a Girl Like You.”
