"He is, and I think Taylor has brought a lot of that out," he said when the hosts turned the discussion toward romance.

Ed’s appearance came a day after GQ released a cover story in which Travis spoke candidly about building a lasting relationship. Reflecting on his parents’ divorce. He hopes to avoid the emotional distance he saw growing up.

During the Australian interview, Ed also reacted to Swift’s latest career move: the announcement of her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, set for release Oct. 3.

He admitted he had no prior knowledge of the drop, but predicted it would be “beautiful,” like her past work.

The news broke on Wednesday on "New Heights," the podcast Travis Kelce co-hosts with Jason.

Swift’s rare guest appearance drew more than 1.3 million live viewers. She shared the album’s backstory: a behind-the-scenes portrait of her life on the road during the record-setting Eras Tour.

She described the new music as joyful and dramatic, reflecting her current chapter both personally and professionally.

Travis has spoken often about how their worlds have blended. Before they met, Swift admitted she knew little about football, even what a tight end was.

Now she follows the sport closely, even reacting to roster moves. Travis has said he’s grateful that she embraced his career.
