Simu Liu’s recent engagement to long-time partner Allison Hsu received a heartwarming boost from a global music icon. During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on December 15, 2023, Liu shared how Taylor Swift played a pivotal role in making his proposal even more memorable.
Liu detailed the sequence of events that led to the surprise. After proposing to Hsu, he reached out to Swift through her publicist, hoping for a small miracle. To his delight, Swift agreed and sent a congratulatory 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.
This unexpected gesture meant a lot to both Liu and Hsu, who are devoted fans of the singer. Hsu, a digital marketing executive in the music industry, grew up with Swift’s music as an integral part of her life. Liu noted that Swift’s songs played a significant role during the early stages of their relationship, making the video message a fitting addition to their engagement story. He described the video as “the cherry on top.”
When Hsu watched the clip, her emotional reaction was profound. “She was really emotional before, and then when I played that video, she just completely lost it,” Liu explained. He went on to praise Swift, calling her “absolutely just fantastic” and highlighting her kindness.
The couple first announced their engagement in May through a joint Instagram post, which generated considerable buzz online. They have also been spotted together at Swift’s Eras Tour and the premiere of the accompanying concert film.
Liu’s story illustrates the blend of personal and celebrity experiences that often captivate the public. With Swift’s involvement, this engagement has turned into a touching tale of love, support, and a shared passion for music. As Liu and Hsu embark on this new chapter, their connection to Swift adds a unique layer to their journey together.
