Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce expressed his excitement about his recent engagement to pop superstar Taylor Swift during a new episode of the podcast he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce. In the latest installment of New Heights, released on Wednesday, Travis reflected on the joy of sharing his engagement news, stating, “It’s been really fun telling everybody who I’m going to be spending the rest of my life with.”
The couple made headlines last week when they announced their engagement through a social media post that Jason Kelce described as “the Instagram post heard ‘round the world.” The announcement featured photographs of Travis down on one knee and a close-up of Swift’s engagement ring, marking a significant milestone in their two-year romance.
Travis and Taylor were recently seen supporting the Cincinnati Bearcats at their first college football game of the season, where Travis described it as the first occasion he introduced Taylor as his fiancée. “Doing that was pretty cool,” he said, adding that he still feels “giddy” about the engagement. “Exciting times. It’s still fresh,” he shared.
The couple’s engagement announcement has garnered considerable attention, with over 36 million likes on Instagram. Travis noted that witnessing the enthusiastic responses online has been “so much fun.” He thanked everyone who reached out with congratulations but refrained from revealing specific details about who sent their best wishes or what gifts were given.
Jason Kelce mentioned that he has received numerous messages from well-wishers, including former coaches and friends, eager to send their congratulations to Travis and Taylor.
Offering advice to fans contemplating marriage proposals, Travis emphasized the importance of knowing one’s partner. “You can’t let how somebody else does it make you feel like you need to do it that way,” he advised. “Know who you’re doing it for, and do it for the right reasons.”
In a recent interview on The Jimmy & Nath Show, Ed Kelce, the brothers’ father, shared insights on the engagement process. He revealed that both he and Scott Swift, Taylor’s father, encouraged Travis to propose sooner rather than later and suggested a more intimate setting for the proposal rather than a grand spectacle. “Asking her is what’s going to make it special, not where you do it,” Ed recalled telling Travis.
As both a prominent sports figure and a public personality, Travis Kelce’s engagement to Taylor Swift continues to mesmerize fans across various platforms, blending the worlds of sports and entertainment in a captivating narrative of love and celebration.
