Travis Kelce breaks his silence on engagement to Taylor Swift and sends fans wild with bold claim
Travis Kelce has finally spoken out for the first time about his earth-shattering proposal to pop superstar Taylor Swift after their announcement last week.
The NFL icon broke the internet when he got down on one knee in the garden of his Missouri mansion, making the singer his fiancee two years into their whirlwind romance.
While Taylor’s initial post gave a glimpse into how happy the pair are to be closing in on marriage, Travis was yet to address the change in their relationship status – until now, that is.
In a teaser clip for Wednesday’s episode of New Heights, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end spoke out about his proposal, and made a huge claim that delighted Swifties around the world.
‘I appreciate everybody that reached out and sent something, and all the posts, all the excitement that’s been going on,’ Kelce told his brother Jason.
‘It’s been really fun telling everybody who I’m going to be spending the rest of my life with.’

It is expected that Kelce will have more to say on the big news when the full episode drops on YouTube on Wednesday morning, leaving fans excitedly waiting for the full scoop.
While the Kelce brothers have released an episode of their podcast since the news of the proposal dropped, it wasn’t mentioned on the show given they recorded the contents before the official announcement.
Therefore, fans had to wait an extra week to get Travis’ thoughts, with the NFL superstar tight-lipped and fully focused on the start of the 2025 season.
Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs teammates head to Brazil on Wednesday ahead of their Week 1 clash with the Los Angeles Chargers in Sao Paulo.

It is understood Swift will not travel south to watch her man in action, though it is anticipated she will once again be a regular feature at Arrowhead throughout the season.
The Chiefs are again one of the favorites for Super Bowl glory, and they will look to repeat the history-making 2024 scenario that saw Kelce and Swift kissing on the field in Las Vegas after Kansas City’s win over the San Francisco 49ers.
On the engagement front, meanwhile, it has now been confirmed that the happy couple kept their big news under wraps for weeks, with Kelce actually popping the question weeks ago in a carefully planned proposal.
The Chiefs star had strategically earmarked the day of Swift’s New Heights episode recording as the date of his romantic gesture.

As Kelce whisked the hitmaker away to film her hit special guest episode on his podcast with his brother Jason, a team descended on his garden to stage the amorous setting for his proposal, according to Page Six.
He reportedly hired the crew to setup the magical garden while they were filming so that he could ask the songstress to be his wife immediately after they wrapped up the recording.
The sly tactic ensure that the 14-time Grammy Award winner was left surprised by the proposal, left without an inkling as she lovingly lifted the lid on their two-year romance on New Heights.
Yet, the three-time Super Bowl winner also chose the moment with his fiancee in mind. He reportedly chose that day as he knew Swift would be glammed up with her hair and makeup done to ensure she looked like a blushing bride-to-be in the photos.
