Just a few short days after his "magical" New York City wedding, Travis Kelce is back on the pod!

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and his older brother Jason Kelce released the season finale episode of their podcast New Heights on Wednesday, July 8, five days after he and Taylor Swift tied the knot in Madison Square Garden.

In fact, the episode marks the season finale for New Heights, closing things out with NFL legend Tom Brady, before Travis departs for training season for the upcoming year of football.

The episode was likely pre-recorded, thereby explaining the lack of any wedding talk from Travis or Jason, although the former did look back on the start of their season, which was with none other than Taylor herself. Take a look at a snippet from it below...

The pop star appeared in the New Heights season opener back in August 2025 to introduce her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, plus share details of life with then-boyfriend Travis.

It was just days later that the couple essentially broke the internet when they revealed that they had gotten engaged after two years of dating, and on the podcast, Travis reflected on the moment, confirming a long-held fan theory about the proposal.

Travis proposing to Taylor – when it all happened

"Ending the season with Tom Brady, pretty epic. Starting it with Taylor, pretty epic," he mused. "And during that recording, the entire time I'm planning, 'I'm going to ask this woman to marry me after this.'"

Many fans speculated that the proposal happened almost immediately after the recording, judging by the light imprint of headphones on Taylor's hair in their engagement photos.

Calling their two A-list guests the "really cool moments of this season," Travis in particular gushed that "obviously the beginning of it with Taylor is one I'll remember forever."

Jason confirmed that it was "by far" their most viewed episode of all time, adding that it was "pretty fun." On YouTube alone, their episode with Taylor boasts 25 million views. Their second highest is an episode with Jason's wife Kylie Kelce from September 2023 with nine million views.
