Taylor Swift’s love story with her husband, Travis Kelce, is indeed “so high school!”
Sources tell PEOPLE the pop superstar, 36, paid tribute to the kind of man the Kansas City Chiefs star, also 36, was as a teen during their moving wedding vows.
“Taylor talked about how Travis was the guy in high school who, even though he was the star athlete, would go sit with the less-popular kids who were being bullied at lunchtime. And Taylor talked about how she wished she knew someone like that when she was in high school. It was so special,” says one source.
Adds another insider: “Travis was very emotional during the vows.”
Reps for Swift and Kelce have not commented to PEOPLE.
