Travis Kelce publicly discusses his engagement to Taylor Swift on the podcast 'New Heights'

In a heartwarming turn of events, NFL star Travis Kelce and pop sensation Taylor Swift have announced their engagement. The news was shared last week in a joint Instagram post, which sent waves of excitement through their fan bases.

The post, set to the song "So High School," featured pictures from the proposal, held on Travis' estate in Leawood, Kan. The caption read, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."

Travis spent several months co-designing a unique ring with jeweler Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry, ensuring it was a perfect fit for his partner. The proposal, referred to as "the proposal heard around the world," took place a month after Travis asked Taylor's father, Scott Swift, for his blessing.

In the Instagram post, Travis could be seen gushing "F-k yeah!" after the proposal, while Taylor, who was "a little antsy" for the sparkler, looked overjoyed.

Travis revealed the news on Wednesday's episode of "New Heights," where he also interviewed Taylor to announce her forthcoming album, "The Life of a Showgirl." Eagle-eyed Swifties speculated that the proposal might have taken place during the episode's filming, due to Taylor's manicure and hair creases.

Travis, who found it hard to interview his partner, praised Jason for his "Barbara Walters"-esque queries. The couple has received an outpouring of well-wishes since announcing their engagement, and Travis expressed his gratitude for the warm reception.

Interestingly, both Travis and Taylor are 35 years old, having begun dating in July 2023. Contrary to some rumours, Taylor did not marry anyone in July 2023 before publicly announcing her engagement.

Travis did not speak about getting down on one knee on "New Heights" that aired the following day. However, he did share the news with listeners and his brother, Jason, before the episode aired.

Jason congratulated the couple on their engagement, adding to the excitement surrounding this unexpected union. As the world waits for more details, one thing is certain: Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are a unique and exciting couple, and their love story is just getting started.
