THE RUNDOWN
On Wednesday’s New Heights podcast episode, Travis Kelce said that his favorite Christmas gift this year came from fiancée Taylor Swift.
But the NFL star didn’t disclose what the present was, saying it would reveal things that they’re “trying to keep in house.”
Kelce shared that he also got a gift from Swift’s younger brother, Austin, noting that the Swifts are “great gift givers.”
Travis Kelce gave fans a brief teaser about his favorite gift this Christmas, which came from none other than his fiancée, Taylor Swift. On the Dec. 31, 2025 episode of his New Heights podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs player said, “The best gift that I got was from Taylor,” before declining to reveal what it was because “it gives away things that we’re trying to keep in house.”
He added that Swift’s younger brother, Austin, “got me a great gift as well,” but also kept that under wraps. Kelce’s brother Jason chimed in, saying that “the Swifts are great gift givers,” and Kelce agreed, adding, “They are great gift givers.”
In the December 24 episode of New Heights, Kelce revealed one of Swift’s favorite presents from him: “I will say one of Tay’s favorite gifts that I got her was the bread slicer,” he shared. “Because she’s been throwing together so much fucking sourdough.” He added, “Gosh, I got the best gut health there is. I love you, Tay.”
Last Thursday marked the couple’s first Christmas since their August 2025 engagement, which they announced on Instagram after about two years of dating. They captioned their announcement with a nod to Swift’s music and Kelce’s NFL career, writing, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
Earlier this month, sources told Us Weekly that Kelce has influenced Swift’s personal growth. “Taylor used to be super type A, but she’s become more spontaneous. The armor is off. She’s trying to live a more unfiltered life,” one source said. “Travis gives her a fearless playfulness and the confidence to take up space unapologetically. [That has allowed her] to be softer and more vulnerable in front of the world.”
A second source added, “Travis has given Taylor a sense of calm. He supports her in ways that she could have never imagined, and he never expects her to perform or curate a persona around him. That kind of ease has given her permission to be her real self.”
The insider continued, speaking on Swift and Kelce’s upcoming nuptials: “Taylor wants the lead-up to her wedding to Travis to feel grounded and not chaotic.” According to the first source, Swift is “being so quiet about the planning” as she and Kelce aim to get married next summer.
