Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the “New Heights” podcast were some of the first to react to the news of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s engagement.
Mahomes, 29, responded via his Instagram Story on Tuesday, August 26, sharing an engagement picture of the couple with three red-heart emojis.
“New Heights,” the podcast Kelce, 35, cohosts with his older brother, Jason Kelce, was also quick to respond on Tuesday.
“NEW NEWS,” the podcast’s official Instagram posted, a reference to a popular segment on the show. “Congrats to @taylorswift @killatrav.”
Kelce and Swift, 35, announced their engagement on Tuesday.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” the couple wrote in a joint post via Instagram.
The post was accompanied by a carousel of photos from an ethereal garden, showing the Kansas City Chiefs tight end dropping to one knee.
Another picture showed off Swift’s massive new engagement ring.
Swift and Kelce were first officially linked in September 2023, when the pop star attended one of Kelce’s games in Kansas City.
Since then, she has become an integral, intertwined member of Chiefs Kingdom, including a friendship with Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes.
Brittany also reacted to the engagement news on Tuesday, writing via her Instagram Story, “Two of the most genuine people meet & fall in love. Just so happy for these two. 🥹🤍.”
Last year, Patrick explained how going on double dates with Brittany, 29, Swift and Travis was a surprisingly normal ordeal.
Taylor Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce caused a seismic shift within the Kansas City Chiefs organization. ESPN’s six-part docuseries The Kingdom, which premiered its first two episodes on Thursday, August 14, detailed the early days of the pop star’s romance with the Chiefs tight end. Swift, 35, made her first appearance at Kansas City’s Arrowhead […]
“We were just having fun and enjoying a dinner just like anyone else would,” Patrick told The Athletic in August 2024. “That’s what makes it so great. We don’t make it more than what it is; it’s just friendship, fellowship and enjoying everyone’s success.”
Mahomes explained how Kelce’s relationship with Swift hadn’t gone to his head, describing him as the “same guy” he’s known for years.
“It’s a huge platform and everyone in the world can see it, deservedly so because of how great Taylor is, but it’s still Travis,” he said. “I think that’s what makes it so cool, even though it’s such a big thing for the world.”
The engagement news comes less than two weeks after Swift made her first appearance on “New Heights,” which set viewership records on YouTube.
