Travis Kelce is back on the air — this time as a married man.
“At this point, we’re what, over a month out? It’s been so much fun,” Travis, 36, said on the Wednesday, September 2, episode of “New Heights” with brother Jason Kelce, sharing new details from his wedding to Taylor Swift. “First of all, the night was a night we’ll never forget. Me and Taylor are so thankful for everybody that showed up, you know, from the vows to just seeing everyone to how much fun we had throughout the entire evening, and hearing that kind of be relayed through everybody’s stories of the night.”
Travis gushed over the “magical” event, adding, “I wish it could’ve lasted even longer than it did, it felt like it just happened in the blink of an eye.”
He went on to shed light on why the couple chose to have their wedding at Madison Square Garden in New York City. “Thank you [to] everyone at MSG that allowed us to do this,” he said. “We wanted to do it somewhere where we could have a very intimate and genuine setting without a lot of distractions. We needed it to be a private feel. And MSG went above and beyond to give us that. I can’t thank everybody enough that showed up but also that helped put the show on, and it was a very magical, magical night.”
Wednesday’s episode marked the beginning of the podcast’s fifth season and the first episode since Travis married Swift in July. The couple, who got engaged last summer following Swift’s “New Heights” debut, have remained relatively tight-lipped about their star-studded nuptials.
“It was a fun offseason, man,” Travis previously told reporters at Kansas City Chiefs training camp in August. “Wedding was the best night of my life. I appreciate everybody who came out and celebrated and had fun with us. That’s about all I really got from that night. It was a crazy night. It was full of a lot of celebration.”
Travis and the pop star hosted nearly 1,000 guests at their NYC wedding, but a source told Us it was still an “intimate and personal” affair.

“Taylor was emotional while reciting her vows but kept her composure,” an insider shared. “You could tell she put a lot of work and time into writing her vows. Travis teared up more than Taylor. They shared very personal details and anecdotes that some guests had never even heard before.”
While few details have emerged about the ceremony itself, it was revealed that Adam Sandler officiated. Travis gave his Happy Gilmore 2 costar a “special thank you” on Wednesday.
“He has been just the f***ing best person on this planet and for him to be up for getting ordained in the state of New York and marrying me and Taylor … giving us more than we could’ve ever imagined in that moment, knowing that it was the biggest night of both of our lives,” the athlete said. “It was absolutely insane.”
For Travis Kelce, few “New Heights” moments can top his wife Taylor Swift’s on-air debut. “Ending the season with Tom Brady? Pretty epic. Starting it with Taylor? Pretty epic,” Kelce, 36, began on the Wednesday, July 8, recording of the season 4 finale episode of his podcast. “During that recording, the entire time I’m planning, […]
Jason, meanwhile, reflected on how the couple’s inner circles seamlessly blended together, and Travis agreed.
“It was so cool to see how everybody interacted,” he added. “You know, with no phones, comes people not having to be on guard … it makes everyone be in the moment and be present. It was so cool to see everyone from my childhood not only mesh with Taylor and her childhood and her family and friends, people that she works with … it’s just been so cool to see that world come together and hear through person by person after the wedding just how awesome a time everyone had there. And that’s what we wanted it to be.”
Travis continued, “We wanted it to be a beautiful ceremony, but we also wanted to make sure everybody left there having some fun.”
After celebrating his and Swift’s love story, the NFL star has another milestone on the horizon: his 14th season with the Chiefs. Travis confirmed his return to the team in March after missing out on the playoffs for the 2025-2026 season.
“Of course I don’t want to end my career not making the playoffs, not having one of the best years. … Obviously there’s still a little bit of that grit and that emotion, you know, I f***ing hated the way that s*** ended last year,” he said on “New Heights” at the time. “I want to make it right. And I want to get a chance at another f***ing Super Bowl.”
