Jason Kelce could not be more psyched for his future sister-in-law. The voluble ex NFL great hopped on his socials on Tuesday night (Aug. 26) — just hours after Taylor Swift announced that she was engaged to his younger brother Travis Kelce — to enthusiastically congratulate the couple and share some special news about this week’s New Heights podcast.

“Welcome back to another episode of New Heights,” Jason said in the video in which he appeared alone in his home studio. “Unfortunately, it probably won’t be as good as the last episode of New Heights, where we set our own records, we set podcasting records, we set a Guinness Book of World Records,” he gushed about Swift’s record-shattering appearance on the previous episode of the sports podcast he co-hosts with Travis that increased the show’s female viewership by more than 600%.
“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 added about Swift’s two-hour chat, in which she discussed her love story with Travis, announced her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl and described the emotional moment she found out she’d gotten her masters back.
Self-deprecatingly promising that the bar will be “much lower” this week, Jason had to address the “one piece of gigantic” news that broke after they recorded the new episode on Monday, which is Travis’ one day off as he prepares to start his 13th NFL season. “So he is not here to address this himself, but we felt necessary as a team here at New Heights to get together and send Travis and a giant congratulations for being engaged!!!,” Jason shouted as he and the show’s staff whooped it up in celebration. “The proposal heard ’round the world!!! F–k yeah!”
But that’s not all. Jason also revealed that Wednesday’s new episode will be a “behind-the-scenes look at how our episode with @taylorswift13 came together.” The BTS episode will post at 9:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday.
