Travis Kelce Talks Proposing to Taylor Swift for the ‘Right Reasons,’ Says Calling Her His ‘Fiancée’ Makes Him ‘Giddy’

Travis Kelce has stayed in that lavender haze ever since proposing to Taylor Swift.

On the latest episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast posted Wednesday (Sept. 3), the Kansas City Chiefs tight end gushed about what it’s been like these first few weeks after getting down on one knee and asking the 14-time Grammy winner to marry him. When pressed for his advice on how to execute the perfect proposal — aside from picking out a massive diamond ring, as Travis did for Swift — he simply said, “You’ve gotta know your gal.”

“You can’t let how somebody else does it make you feel like you need to do it that way,” he continued. “I would just say, know your partner, know who you’re doing it for, and do it for the right reasons. Everything else will be beautiful.”

After Jason noted that Travis will soon have to start wedding planning with his superstar bride-to-be, the Grotesquerie actor replied with a smile, “That is the next step, yeah.”

The episode comes eight days after Travis and Swift announced their plans to tie the knot, sharing photos on Instagram of the athlete proposing on one knee in a garden of roses. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” they’d written in the caption.

The internet has since been flooded with messages of excitement and congratulations for the happy couple, who made their first public appearance since sharing the big news at a Cincinnati Bearcats game in Kansas City. While there, Travis got to introduce Swift to people as his fiancée, something he said on New Heights still makes him “giddy.”

“It’s been really fun telling everybody who I’m going to be spending the rest of my life with,” the three-time Super Bowl winner added on the show, noting how much he’s loved seeing people’s reactions to the announcement online.

In addition to wedding planning, both Travis and Swift are coming up on some major career events. In early September, the former will begin his 13th season playing for the Chiefs, while the latter is set to drop The Life of a Showgirl — her follow-up to 17-week Billboard 200-topper The Tortured Poets Department — on Oct. 3.
