Breezy Johnson recently shared Mikaela Shiffrin’s amusing reaction to the American pop star Taylor Swift celebrating her engagement. Along with a gold medal, Johnson took home a precious ring as her longtime boyfriend, Connor Watkins, proposed to her near the finish line after she completed her super-G run.
The American skier’s boyfriend popped the question after Johnson’s quest for a super-G title ended with a crash. As she reached the finish line, Watkins was waiting with a ring in his pocket. Reciting lyrics from the Taylor Swift song “Alchemy,” Watkins pulled out the ring with a blue gem at the center of a white sapphire set.
He also gave her a piece of wood which had the lyrics “Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?” from “Alchemy” carved on it. The iconic proposal did not go unnoticed by Taylor Swift, who congratulated the couple on the Instagram post by referencing another lyric from the song:
“Where’s the trophy? He just comes running over to me’ CONGRATULATIONS!!!”
Swift’s reaction was noticed by Shiffrin, who was present on the site when the heartwarming moment unfolded. After the American singer’s comment, Shiffrin expressed her jealousy towards Johnson, who opened up about her teammates’ feelings, saying:
“I just lost it. I did not expect the way that it grew legs and ran, and then she commented, and I was like, ‘Oh my God’ and then Mikaela was there, and like I could tell she was like, ‘I’ve never been so jealous of Breezy in my life.’”
Breezy Johnson won a gold medal in the downhill event at the 2026 Winter Games.

![Heathrow has said passenger numbers were 60% lower in November than before the coronavirus pandemic and there were “high cancellations” among business travellers concerned about being trapped overseas for Christmas as Omicron spreads. The UK’s largest airport said the government’s travel restrictions had dealt a fresh blow to travel confidence and predicted it was likely to take several years for passenger numbers to return to pre-pandemic levels. This week ministers said passengers arriving in the UK would have to take a pre-departure Covid test, as well as a post-flight test, because of fears about the spread of the new variant. “[The] high level of cancellations by business travellers concerned about being trapped overseas because of pre-departure testing shows the potential harm to the economy of travel restrictions,” the airport said in an update. Heathrow said the drop in traveller confidence owing to the new travel restrictions had negated the benefit of reopening the all-important corridor to North America for business and holiday travel last month. Eleven African countries have been added to the government’s red list, requiring travellers to quarantine before reuniting with families. “By allowing Brits to isolate at home, ministers can make sure they are reunited with their loved ones this Christmas,” said John Holland-Kaye, the chief executive of Heathrow. “It would send a strong signal that restrictions on travel will be removed as soon as safely possible to give passengers the confidence to book for 2022, opening up thousands of new jobs for local people at Heathrow. Let’s reunite families for Christmas.” Heathrow said that if the government could safely signal that restrictions would be lifted soon, then employers at Heathrow would have the confidence to hire thousands of staff in anticipation of a boost in business next summer. The airport is expecting a slow start to 2022, finishing next year with about 45 million passengers – just over half of pre-pandemic levels. This week Tui, Europe’s largest package holiday operator, said it expected bookings for next summer to bounce back to 2019 levels. However, Heathrow said on Friday not to expect the aviation industry to recover for several years. “We do not expect that international travel will recover to 2019 levels until at least all travel restrictions (including testing) are removed from all the markets that we serve, at both ends of the route, and there is no risk of new restrictions, such as quarantine, being imposed,” the airport said.](https://wordupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/shutterstock_1100012546-scaled-400x240.jpg)
