Just one week after sending shockwaves across the internet with their Instagram engagement announcement, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce is finally talking about what it feels like to call Taylor Swift his fiancée. On the latest episode of New Heights, the podcast he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce, the NFL tight end got candid about the life-changing moment and the overwhelming fan response.

The episode began with Jason doing what big brothers do best—teasing. “Travis, we gotta talk about it,” Jason prodded with a grin. Travis, clearly amused, replied, “I don’t think we do.” But Jason wasn’t letting him off the hook: “In case you missed the Instagram post heard ’round the world, Travis and Taylor are engaged! Yay!”

The 35-year-old athlete then opened up about the whirlwind of love and excitement following their announcement. “I appreciate everybody that reached out and sent something, and all the posts, all the excitement that's been going on,” Travis said in the teaser clip. “It’s been really fun telling everybody who I’m going to be spending the rest of my life with.”

The football star admitted the reality of being engaged hit him during a recent game. “It was my first time introducing Taylor as my fiancée to a few of my teammates,” Travis revealed. “So yeah, it was pretty cool.”

Fans weren’t the only ones gushing—Travis himself confessed he still gets butterflies just saying the word fiancée. “Yeah, I do. I still get giddy, exciting times,” he told Jason with a wide smile.

The podcast also took a heartfelt turn when Travis shared advice for anyone planning to pop the big question. “Man, you’ve gotta know your gal. You’ve gotta know your gal or your significant other,” he explained. “You can’t let how somebody else does it make you feel like you need to do it that way. I would just say know your partner, know who you’re doing it for, and do it for the right reasons.” His words struck a chord with listeners, reflecting both his down-to-earth personality and his respect for his relationship with Swift.

The couple’s engagement post, shared on August 26, nearly broke the internet. Captioned “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the carousel showed Travis on one knee, surrounded by flowers, as Taylor beamed at him. The post immediately went viral, racking up millions of likes within minutes and cementing the duo as one of the most talked-about celebrity couples of the year.

Swift, 35, and Kelce began dating in 2023 after months of fan speculation and subtle hints that drove both sports and music communities into a frenzy. Since then, their relationship has been closely followed, from Swift cheering in NFL stadiums to Kelce attending international tour stops on her Eras Tour.

Now, with an engagement ring sealing the deal, the pair are officially stepping into their next chapter. Judging by Travis’ glowing words on the podcast, he’s more than ready for forever with Swift.

For fans, it’s not just a celebrity romance—it’s a modern love story unfolding in real time, where football meets pop stardom, and the two worlds couldn’t be more delighted to collide. If Travis’ giddy smile and heartfelt advice are any indication, Taylor Swift’s fiancé is embracing every moment of their journey together.
