THE RUNDOWN:
- On New Heights, Travis Kelce spoke for the first time about his engagement to Taylor Swift.
- The NFL star said he “still gets giddy” when introducing her as his fiancée and admitted he hasn’t thought about planning a bachelor party yet.
- Kelce also shared his advice for proposals: “Know your partner… do it for the right reasons.”
Travis Kelce is opening up about his engagement to Taylor Swift for the first time since they announced the news last week.
On the September 3 episode of his New Heights podcast, Travis spoke about the milestone with his brother and co-host Jason Kelce, who kicked off the conversation by saying, “Well, in case you missed the Instagram post heard around the world, Travis and Taylor are engaged.”
Travis then thanked Jason for congratulating him (both on and off the podcast) before sharing, “I appreciate everybody that reached out and sent something, and all the posts and all the excitement that’s been going on. It’s been really fun telling everybody who I’m going to be spending the rest of my life with.”
He added that this past week has been “awesome” and that he’s enjoyed referring to Swift as his fiancée. “I felt that at the game, actually. It was my first time introducing Taylor as my fiancée to a few of my teammates. So yeah, it was pretty cool. I still get giddy [saying it]. I love it. It’s exciting times.” He also mentioned that he hasn’t thought about planning a bachelor party yet.
The conversation then turned to engagement advice. Jason asked if Travis had any pointers for podcast listeners who may be proposing soon. “Man, you got to know your gal, or your significant other,” he said. “You got to know them. You might be able to get some ideas from how other people did it, but I would just say know your partner, know who you’re doing it for, and do it for the right reasons, baby. Everything else will be beautiful.”
Travis and Swift announced their engagement news on August 26 with an Instagram post. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” Swift wrote alongside photos of her and Kelce in his home garden in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. The post now has over 36 million likes (and counting).
