New York, October 6, 2025 – Pop superstar Taylor Swift has given fans a peek into her engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce. She spoke about the dreamy proposal on a popular TV talk show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, on Monday, October 6. Swift shared that her fiancé planned a huge surprise right after they finished recording his podcast.
The Clever Ruse: A Podcast Distraction
Taylor Swift told host Jimmy Fallon how Travis Kelce fooled her. They were recording a joint episode for his famous podcast, New Heights. Swift said she thought the podcast was very important to Kelce. This was actually a very smart plan to keep her distracted.
She explained that Travis put up “blackout drapes” on all the windows of the house. He never does that for his podcast. At that time, Taylor did not understand why. She just thought Travis was extra nervous about the podcast recording. She recalled, “I’ve never seen this dude nervous, ever. He’s professionally not a nervous person.”
