Travis Kelce is enjoying life as an engaged man.
On Wednesday’s episode of “The New Heights” podcast, the star Chiefs tight end, 35, opened up about some subtle changes since he asked the “Fornight” singer, also 35, for her hand in marriage last week.
Brother Jason, who has been married to wife Kylie since 2018, asked if there was “something different” about Swift going from Travis’ girlfriend to fiancée.
“I felt that at the game actually, it was my first time ntroducing Taylor as my fiancee to a few of my teammates,” Travis said about him and Swift attending Cincinnati University’s loss to Nebraska last week at Arrowhead Stadium.
“Yeah, it was pretty cool. I still get giddy. Exciting times. Still fresh.”
Kelce and Swift announced their engagement Aug. 26 on Instagram, sharing a carousel of photos taken in a garden filled with pink and white flowers.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the couple captioned the joint post, which was set to her 2024 track, “So High School,” that’s inspired by Kelce.
Kelce, who’s entering his 13th NFL season, proposed to Swift in the backyard of his Leawood, Kansas, estate — the home he purchased in 2023 for more privacy amid the couple’s whirlwind romance — which included a garden of pink and white flowers.
“You gotta know your gal or your significant other,” Travis said Wednesday when Jason asked if he had any advice. “And it’s gotta .. you can’t let how somebody else does it make you feel like you need to do it that way.”
Kelce proposed to Swift right after they filmed her record-breaking “New Heights” podcast episode together on Aug. 13, Page Six confirmed.
While couple was gushing over their romance, as well as Swift’s new album “The Life of a Showgirl,” a crew was hard at work decorating the garden for the proposal.
In an interview with News 5 in Cleveland, his father, Ed said the couple FaceTimed their parents to share the news of their engagement.
“He got her out there, they were about to go out to dinner, and he said, ‘Let’s go out and have a glass of wine.’ They got out there, and that’s when he asked her, and it was beautiful,” Ed said, adding that he was at an Eagles practice when he got the call that the two were engaged. “They started FaceTiming me and their mother and her folks to make sure everybody knew. So, to see them together is great.”
Ed said he knew the three-time Super Bowl champion would be proposing to Swift months prior, adding he previously thought Kelce would pop the question during last year’s NFL season.
During the wide-ranging interview on “New Heights,” Swift announced her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” will drop on Oct. 3.
Elsewhere on the podcast, the couple said they spent some time in Florida, where Kelce trained this offseason.
Swift also credited “New Heights” for getting her “a boyfriend” after Kelce publicly announced on the show that he tried to meet the singer at an Eras Tour show in 2023 and failed.
The Kelce-Swift craze has dominated sports and pop culture ever since.
The couple was first linked in September 2023 and went public with their relationship the next month.
