Jason explained that he and Travis record on Mondays, the tight end's one day off, so he would, instead, address the "one gigantic piece of new news that just hit the waves" himself.

"We felt necessary as a team here at New Heights to get together and "send Travis and Taylor a giant congratulations for being engaged!" Kelce said before shouting in celebration with the show's producers Brandon Borders and Jake Chatzky on a virtual call.

Swift announced her engagement in a joint Instagram post with Travis featuring several photos of the proposal.

The engagement reportedly took place two weeks prior at a garden at Kelce's home in Lee's Summit, Missouri, his father, Ed, told ABC News 5. Jason Kelce also thanked Taylor for her appearance on the show, which officially earned the world record for 'most concurrent views for a podcast on YouTube' after the livestreamed episode got 1.3 million total concurrent views on August 13, according to GuinnessWorldRecords.com.

"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 said in the episode tease Wednesday morning. "And it was a doozy! So, get ready for a much lower bar this week."
