i like the timing of the announcement. first she got on vacation so we knew she's "happy" and then they waited for swiftdrama to end and just put it out now.
i guess they had to make it official cause people would have asked her about the wedding in interviews.
it's cute that they said it's a break for now but let's be realistic. they couldn't make it work during her down-time, it will be really hard to get together once she gets on the road again
