Travis Kelce admitted on NFL on FOX this past Sunday, Sept 14, that he “shed a few tears” while proposing to Taylor Swift.
What’s the gossip?
In an interview with Erin Andrews, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, was asked just how “rattled” he was when he got down on one knee.
His reply was candid: “The palms were definitely sweating,” he said.
“I’m an emotional guy, so there were a few tears here and there.”
He added, “But it’s been an exciting ride up to this day, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her.”
Next, Andrews asked how much happier Swift has made him.
The 35-year-old Missouri native didn’t hold back: “She has brought excitement and a joy for life that made me a better man, made me a better person, and made me just that much more comfortable in who I am.”

NFL have refused to rule out the possibility of Taylor Swift performing at Super Bowl LX.
Billionaire star, private wedding & Super Bowl buzz
Taylor Swift is not only one half of the NFL’s newest power couple, she is also a billionaire in her own right.
According to Forbes, Swift, 35, reached billionaire status in 2024, with her wealth stemming from her music, touring, royalties and savvy investments.
Meanwhile, speculation is growing that Swift may well headline the next Super Bowl Halftime Show, especially Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said she is “welcome at any time” to perform, calling her “a special, special talent,” though he also characterised the chance as “a maybe.”
Fans have latched onto subtle hints like Swift’s references to sourdough (the Bay Area is famous for it), the number 60 (Super Bowl LX), and earlier clues dropped on her New Heights podcast.
As for their engagement, Kelce proposed at home in Missouri after asking Swift, “Let’s go out and have a glass of wine,” a moment his father Ed relayed to News 5 Cleveland.
The ring, an old-mine brilliant-cut diamond, is reportedly something Swift is still showing off.
And while the pair made their engagement public on Aug. 26, with the sweet Instagram caption, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” they are said to prefer that the wedding itself remain more private.
