Travis Kelce knows how to ball, and when it comes to life’s joyous, emotional moments, he can bawl, too.
In a preview clip from a new interview for NFL on Fox, he opened up to sports commentator Erin Andrews about his proposal to Taylor Swift. When Andrews asked him about having “dry mouth, the nerves” and how “rattled” he was on that day, he said, “She can tell that story,” but he admitted, “the palms were definitely sweating.”

“I’m an emotional guy,” he continued. “So there were a few tears here and there, but it’s been an exciting, exciting ride up to this day, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her.”
In the full interview, where Kelce also refuted any rumors of him retiring soon, Andrews prefaced their discussion about the proposal by asking how much happier Swift has made the self-proclaimed “happiest guy in the world.” He said, “She has brought excitement and a joy for life that made me a better man, made me a better person, and that made me just that much more comfortable in who I am.”
Andrews also mentioned Swift describing her fiancé as a “human exclamation point” during her appearance on his New Heights podcast on Aug. 13, while asking what he hoped his legacy would be. “That I was a good teammate, I was a good person in the community. I just love what I do,” he responded.
He added: “I don’t know. I’m not here for any other reasons. I just love coming in, playing football, and giving people something to get excited for outside of their lives on Sundays,” he continued. “Hopefully they can see how much excitement I bring to my life, and they can bring that to others.”
Swift and Kelce announced their engagement on Aug. 26 via a joint post on Instagram after two years of dating. The post featured a carousel of photos of the couple, which was captioned by “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
