Simu Liu’s engagement to Allison Hsu took a remarkable turn when global pop icon Taylor Swift became part of their love story. During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on December 15, 2023, Liu shared how a heartfelt video message from Swift made the engagement moment even more memorable.
Liu explained that after proposing to Hsu, he reached out to Swift through her publicist, asking for a short congratulatory video. To his surprise, Swift agreed and delivered the video just two days later. “I reached out to Taylor through her publicist, and I said, ‘Hey, is there any way that I could convince you to make like a two-second video just to say congrats?’” Liu recounted.
The video was particularly meaningful for Hsu, as both she and Liu are devoted fans of Swift. Hsu, a digital marketing executive in the music industry, grew up listening to Swift’s songs, which played a significant role in their relationship. Liu described the video as “the cherry on top” of an already special engagement.
When Hsu watched the video, her emotional reaction was profound. Liu shared, “She was really emotional before, and then when I played that video, she just completely lost it.” He praised Swift, calling her “absolutely just fantastic” and “so nice and so sweet.”
The couple announced their engagement in May with a joint Instagram post that garnered significant attention online. They have also been spotted together at Swift’s Eras Tour and the premiere of the corresponding concert film, further intertwining their lives with the music icon.
This unique blend of personal milestones and celebrity interaction highlights how special moments can be enriched by unexpected connections, making Liu and Hsu’s engagement story truly one-of-a-kind.
