On Wednesday’s New Heights podcast episode, Travis Kelsey said his best Christmas present this year came from his fiancée Taylor Swift.
However, the NFL star did not reveal what the gift was, saying it would be obvious that he was “keeping it at home.”
Kelsey also revealed that she received a gift from Swift’s brother, Austin, noting that the Swifts are “great gift-givers.”
Travis Kelsey gave fans a quick teaser of his favorite gift this Christmas from none other than his fiancée Taylor Swift. On the Dec. 31, 2025 episode of the New Heights podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs player said, “The best gift I ever received was from Taylor,” before declining to reveal what it was because he was “letting go of something I’m trying to keep at home.”
Swift’s younger brother, Austin, added, “gave me an amazing gift,” but he also kept it a secret. Kelsey’s brother Jason agreed: “The Swifts are great gift givers,” Kelsey agreed, adding, “They’re great gift givers.”
On the Dec. 24 episode of New Heights, Kelsea revealed one of her favorite gifts from Swift, saying, “I would say one of my favorite gifts from Tay is a bread slicer.” “Because she’s been mixing up so much sourdough.” He added: “Oh my god, my gut health is great. I love you, Tay.”
Last Thursday, the couple celebrated their first Christmas since their engagement in August 2025, which they announced on Instagram after about two years of dating. They captioned the announcement, “Your English teacher and gym teacher are getting married,” paying homage to Swift’s music and Kelsey’s NFL career.
Earlier this month, a source told Us Weekly that Kelce was an influence on Swift’s personal growth. A source said: “Taylor used to be super A, but she’s become more spontaneous. She’s taken off her armor. She’s trying to live a more unfiltered life.” “Travis gave her a fearless playfulness and the confidence to occupy space without fear.[It]made her softer and more vulnerable in front of the world.”
Another source added, “Travis has given Taylor a sense of calm. He supports her in ways she never imagined and never expects her to play or manage the personalities around her. That ease has given her permission to be her true self.”
Regarding Swift and Kelsea’s upcoming nuptials, the source went on to say, “Taylor wants the lead-up to her wedding to Travis to be grounded and not chaotic.” The first source says Swift is “keeping quiet about her plans” as she and Kelsey aim to marry next summer.
