How excited was Kansas City Tuesday when it learned that adopted daughter Taylor Swift is engaged to Travis Kelce?
So excited that H&R Block, based in Kansas City, sent its employees home early to “celebrate love.”
The company made public an email that Tiffany Monroe, chief people officer, sent employees at 3:07 p.m. Tuesday.
The subject line read: “Lost in the love story?” It was punctuated with a diamond ring emoji.
Swift and Kelce announced their engagement Tuesday morning.
“It’s come to my attention that Kansas City, and frankly, the entire nation, is buzzing with the news of a certain celebrity engagement,” Monroe wrote. “Let’s be honest: between checking social feeds, debating, potential wedding playlists, and most importantly — telling your friends what married filling jointly means, I know focus is in short supply this afternoon.
“So here’s the deal: if you’re so inclined, call it early. Go home. Celebrate love. Speculate about the dress. Argue whether the reception will be held in KC or a castle in Europe.”
Monroe told employees to “pick things back up tomorrow when the internet calms down.”
She congratulated Swift and Kelce and also H&R Block employees “for being part of the only company that understands that life changes = tax changes.”
Wink emoji.
