'She Said Yes:' Shock Takes Over Twitter as GoT Star Sophie Turner Gets Engaged

The micro-blogging platform users haven’t yet calmed down from the excitement after Game of Thrones stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie announced their engagement in September, and now Twitter has exploded from reactions to the news on another epic series actress saying yes to the proposal of her boyfriend Joe Jonas.

GoT sweetheart Sophie Turner, best known for playing Sansa Stark in HBO's fantasy megahit, and American singer Joe Jonas, who has long been a teen idol from the pop rock band Jonas Brothers, revealed the news of their engagement via carefully coordinated Instagram posts on Sunday, October 15.

I said yes.

The hot news has been creating shockwaves in Twitter ever since. Joe's brother Nick shared the same photo, congratulating his elder sibling, who is now a lead singer in American dance-rock band DNCE, and future sister-in-law.

Ahh! Congratulations to my brother… and sister in law to be on your engagement. I love you both so much. @joejonas @SophieT pic.twitter.com/H3ZS3v38xW

​Nick's good friend and former Jonas Brothers guitarist John Lloyd Taylor also expressed his joy online.

​Several other internet celebrities, including popular Canadian YouTuber Lilly Singh and "the most followed Pug" joined in congratulating the couple.

The 28-year-old singer and 21-year-old actress, who have been dating since at least last November and went public in January, have kept their relationship low key and appeared together very rarely in paparazzi shots and on each other's social media accounts. Probably that is why a lot of netizens were shocked when they found out about the celebrity couple planning to get married.

WHEN DID JOE JONAS AND SOPHIE TURNER EVEN START DATING???? HOW ARE THEY ENGAGED????? JOE JONAS IS GONNA BE A STARK????

Being in spotlight since 2005, all Jonas Brothers members, who were heavily involved with the Disney Channel, accumulated an incredible fan base. Quite obviously, some of the Joe's 6.5 million admirers are sobbing right now.

Meanwhile, there were those who couldn't decide what exactly they were feeling about the news.

Idk if I should be jealous of Joe Jonas or Sophie Turner pic.twitter.com/MbTNYfHnyc

One Twitter user couldn't help admitting she didn't like Joe's facial hair.

She said yes even with the moustache, must be love.

Game of Thrones fans also put in their two cents' worth. While some posted images of heart-broken Petyr Baelish a.k.a. Littlefinger (who was in love with Sansa), others made a reference to the infamous episode about a wedding massacre, where a number of beloved characters were cowardly killed.

JOE JONAS IS GOING TO BE A STARK?

The final season of 'Game of Thrones' is going to be wild.

— Alex Goldschmidt (@alexandergold) 15 октября 2017 г.

GoT's final season will be shooting until summer of 2018 and Kit Harington playing the part of Jon Snow has allegedly asked production to be put on a brief hold next year so that the cast could attend his wedding to his fiancée Rose Leslie.

Joe Jonas just proposed to Sophie Turner & I swear, on the old gods & the new, if GoT is delayed bc of ANOTHER wedding there will be issues.
