In a heartfelt tribute that resonated worldwide, Jason Kelce took the time to celebrate his brother, Travis Kelce, and his soon-to-be sister-in-law, Taylor Swift. Ahead of the latest episode of their podcast, New Heights, set to premiere at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Jason released a one-minute video clip on social media to address the viral engagement announcement made on Tuesday.
"There is one gigantic piece of new news that just hit the waves," Jason Kelce exclaimed in the video. He clarified that the episode was recorded on Monday, which happens to be Travis Kelce's only day off, meaning the Chiefs' tight end would not be present to share his excitement personally. Nevertheless, Jason and the New Heights team felt it was their responsibility to honor the couple's engagement and send a huge congratulations to Travis and Taylor.
During the podcast, the former center for the Philadelphia Eagles exuberantly shouted into the microphone, "YEAH!" before adding, "The proposal heard 'round the world! F--- yeah!" Other members of the New Heights team, including renowned social media manager Jets Jake, joined Jason in the clip, enthusiastically cheering for the happy couple.
The couple made their engagement public after dating for two years, sharing a joint Instagram post on Tuesday that featured a slideshow of their engagement photos. The caption read, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," which quickly garnered over 28 million likes by Wednesday morning.
Ed Kelce, the boys' father, provided details about the engagement to ABC News 5 in Cleveland, revealing that the proposal took place about two weeks ago in a garden at their home in Lee's Summit, Missouri.
Jason Kelce also reflected on a record-breaking episode that aired on August 13, featuring Taylor Swift's first podcast interview with the brothers. During this memorable episode, Swift announced her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl. Jason acknowledged that the upcoming episode might not reach the heights of their previous record-setting episode, humorously stating, "Thanks to the one and only Taylor Swift for hopping on and deciding to talk with two complete idiots that don't know anything about the music industry." He concluded with a light-hearted note, encouraging listeners to prepare for a "much lower bar this week."
