Just days after exchanging vows with Taylor Swift in a lavish New York City ceremony, Travis Kelce is sharing new details about the moment he asked the pop superstar to be his wife.

During the season finale of the "New Heights" podcast, which featured guest Tom Brady, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end reflected on Swift's appearance on the show's season premiere—and revealed what was really on his mind during that recording.

"Starting it with Taylor, pretty epic," Kelce said on the episode released July 8. "During that recording the entire time, I'm planning, like, I'm gonna ask this woman to marry me after this" .

The NFL star called the episode "one I'll remember forever," confirming what many Swift fans had long suspected—that the proposal happened immediately after the podcast recording in August 2025 . Eagle-eyed followers had previously noticed the imprint of Swift's headphones still visible in her hair when the engagement photos were released .

A Fairytale Wedding at Madison Square Garden

The romantic revelation comes less than a week after the couple tied the knot on July 3 at Madison Square Garden in front of approximately 1,000 guests . The iconic venue was transformed into a lush woodland setting, described by attendees as a "Secret Garden" complete with towering trees, white floral displays, and elegant greenery .

Swift, 36, walked down the aisle in a custom Christian Dior Haute Couture gown designed by Jonathan Anderson, while Kelce wore a matching white tuxedo from the same designer . The couple's footwear was custom-made by Christian Louboutin, and Swift accessorized with Cartier jewelry .

Comedian Adam Sandler, a friend of the couple who worked with Kelce on "Happy Gilmore 2," officiated the ceremony . In a departure from tradition, Swift's brother Austin served as her Man of Honor, while Kelce's brother and podcast co-host Jason stood as Best Man .

Star-Studded Celebration

The guest list read like a who's who of entertainment and sports, including actors Bradley Cooper, Hugh Grant, and Ethan Hawke, models Gigi Hadid and Karlie Kloss, and director Steven Spielberg . Kelce's Chiefs teammates and coach Andy Reid were also in attendance, along with NFL legend Tom Brady .

Music legends Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks delivered surprise performances, with McCartney reportedly playing the Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" for the first time in decades . Guests described the couple's vows as lengthy, emotional, and deeply personal .

A Grand Finale

As the couple begins their new chapter together, Kelce has made it clear that the proposal—and the journey that followed—will forever hold a special place in his heart. The wedding, which reportedly cost an estimated $35-50 million, culminated in a reception that lasted into the early morning hours, with Madison Square Garden illuminated in lavender light .

With the "New Heights" podcast now on hiatus until September, fans will have to wait for more glimpses into the couple's life together—but for now, Kelce's reflection offers a rare and heartfelt look at the beginning of their love story .
