Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement didn’t just break the internet—it paused the workday for thousands at H&R Block’s Kansas City headquarters.
To celebrate the Grammy-award winner’s engagement to the Super Bowl champion, one H&R Block in Kansas City let employees off the hook this past Tuesday afternoon to celebrate.
“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,” she added. “Pick things back up tomorrow when the internet calms down.”
The company confirmed to Fortune that a few thousand employees were given the afternoon off work.
“Giving employees a few hours to enjoy the news was a fun, lighthearted way to join in an event that truly captured the hearts of Kansas Citians and fans nationwide.”
