Kelce, tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, spoke about the engagement during the latest episode of his “New Heights” podcast, co-hosted with his brother and former Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason Kelce. “In case you missed the Instagram post heard ‘round the world, Travis and Taylor are engaged,” Jason said at the top of the show. “Yay!” Travis responded with gratitude, thanking fans and well-wishers. “I appreciate everybody that reached out and sent something and all the excitement that’s been going on,” he said. “It’s been really fun telling everybody who I’m going to be spending the rest of my life with.” The Super Bowl champion also shared details of their first public appearance as an engaged couple, which took place at a Cincinnati Bearcats game last week. “It was my first time introducing Taylor as my fiancée to a few of my teammates,” Kelce said. “So yeah, it was pretty cool.” When Jason asked if he still gets “giddy” saying it, Travis admitted, “Yeah I do. I still get giddy. Exciting times.” Kelce and Swift’s relationship has been a high-profile one since it went public in late 2023. The engagement marks a new chapter for the couple, whose romance has played out in front of millions of fans around the world. No date has yet been announced for the wedding.
