According to Page Six, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 35, popped the question on the same day he and Swift, 35, recorded the New Heights podcast with Jason Kelce.
A source told the outlet the NFL star had a crew transforming the backyard while he and the pop star, also 35, were busy podcasting.
“He knew that he wanted to marry her. [The date] was just a matter of when the timing was right,” the insider explained. “It was less about the significance of the time and [more about] when he could actually do it in between her tour and his season.”

The source told the outlet that the Super Bowl champion also wanted the 14-time Grammy Award winner, 35, to “already be in hair and makeup.”
The couple, who began dating in the Summer of 2023, announced their engagement on Tuesday, August 26, via a joint Instagram post.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” they wrote in the caption.
As Star previously reported, Travis’ dad, Ed Kelce, told News 5 that day his son had asked Swift to marry him at his home in Missouri, and that the proposal took place almost two weeks ago.
