“After breakfast at home, as I put the salsa back in the fridge I shut the door and he was standing there with a ring,” she stated on Twitter. “Got down on one knee, and I immediately started crying on the floor with him. In our kitchen. In our sweats, nothing fancy. It was f***ing perfect.”
Dove’s dance and performance group Cherry Bombs opened for Stone Sour on their Hydrograd tour beginning in 2017. Taylor and Dove when public about their relationship in May 2018.
The two actually met years ago, but didn’t click. After the engagement announcement, Dove has been answering fans’ questions on Twitter about how the two first met. She stated that she first met Taylor while she was a cheerleader for the Atlanta Falcons.
How did I first meet him? 2010(ish) with @JayAdamsDigital. I was a Falcons cheerleader and Jay worked at the head office. Josh Rand is a huge Falcons fan, so Jay and him would hook each other up – concerts/Falcons. I just came along. Basically we’d go to SS shows to see Josh. ? https://t.co/m1c7sbJjze

A fan also asked if she thought they would ever be a couple after they met, and Dove replied, “No. Not at all. Jay and I ran into CT at a Knot show. I was with a huge group of guy friends and we thanked him for the tix. He shook everyone’s hand BUT MINE. He looked at me dead in the eyes, and turned away. I was like wow Corey Taylor is weird but ok.”
Slipknot is slated to drop a new album in August and hit the road on a crop of major tours, including one alongside Metallica.
