Francisco Lindor's wife Katia reacts as Mets' mascots recreate Travis Kelce’s Taylor Swift proposal

While New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor is involved in a high-octane series against the Philadelphia Phillies, his wife, Katia, reacted to a humorous post by the franchise.

The sports world was taken by surprise on Tuesday after pop sensation Taylor Swift announced her engagement to boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce in an Instagram post.

The post featured a picture of Kelce on one knee to propose to Swift in what seemed like a garden. Mets mascot, Mr. Met recreated the post by proposing to Mrs. Met, surrounded by greenery.

Katia Lindor reacted to the post by sharing the picture on her Instagram story.

"Mr. Met, that was Swift," Katia Lindor captioned her Instagram story.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce started dating in 2023 and the duo's relationship has been in the news since. Their engagement sparked reactions from around the globe, including US President Donald Trump.
