It was the celebrity engagement that captivated the world, but now that he has proposed to Taylor Swift, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has a simple message for anyone trying to copy his romantic gesture: don’t.
After Kelce famously used his popular “New Heights” podcast in 2023 to ask Swift out, the power couple is set to marry in 2025. Their proposal has become the new talk of the town, and the Chiefs’ tight end is weighing in on the pressure to create the perfect moment.
What Is Travis Kelce’s Advice for a Perfect Proposal?
In a recent episode of the “New Heights” podcast, Kelce discussed the details behind his epic proposal. The couple first shared the news with a joint announcement on Instagram on August 26, which quickly became one of the most-liked posts in the platform’s history with over 36 million likes.
The post included photos of the flower-filled proposal, a close-up of the happy couple, and Swift’s stunning ring. The pop superstar wrote a sweet caption for the NFL star: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨.”
While the exact price is unknown, experts estimate the engagement ring to be worth between $250,000 and $500,000.
When addressing fans who might want to recreate the moment, Kelce offered some heartfelt advice.
“You gotta know your gal, or your significant other. You gotta know ’em,” he said.

“You can’t let how somebody else does it make you feel like you need to do it that way. You might be able to get some ideas from how other people did it. It might get the creative juices going. I would just say, know your partner, know who you’re doing it for, and do it for the right reasons, baby. Everything else will be beautiful.”
Ultimately, the three-time Super Bowl champion urged people to get creative, emphasizing that intimate, personal proposals will always matter more.
Kelce Is Still Giddy Over His Engagement to Swift
Even though some time has passed since he popped the question, Kelce admitted on the podcast that the excitement hasn’t faded.
“I still get giddy,” the athlete said. “It’s been really fun telling everybody who I’m going to be spending the rest of my life with.”
In fact, Kelce revealed he recently introduced Swift as his fiancée to a few teammates at the Week 1 Nebraska-Cincinnati college football game at Arrowhead Stadium. The Kansas City tight end described the feeling as “cool.” He did note, however, that he has not yet started thinking about his bachelor party.
While neither Swift nor Kelce has confirmed a date or venue for their upcoming wedding, fans are looking forward to the start of the 2025 NFL season. Many expect to see Swift supporting her fiancé at the Chiefs’ Week 1 season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on Friday, September 5, in São Paulo, Brazil, which will be broadcast on YouTube.
