Kylie Kelce has opened up on why she decided against speaking out publicly about brother-in-law Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s engagement
Taylor Swift’s future sister-in-law failed to congratulate the pop superstar on her engagement to Travis Kelce, but has now explained her reasoning. The Shake It Off songstress and her NFL tight-end fiancé revealed last month that they are set to marry, leaving many across the globe sending them well wishes.
However, Travis’ sister, Kylie Kelce, wasn’t among them. And now the wife of Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, has revealed it was a “conscious” decision.
Speaking on an episode of her ‘Not Gonna Lie’ podcast, she explained: “I have made a very conscious effort to not discuss Taylor and Travis on this podcast because news outlets, tabloids, and AI, quite frankly, like to post only the quotes that they grab from whatever I say in reference to them.”

She went on: “And here’s where I think there is a disconnect. People do not realise that you at home, you have your family. And in your family, you might have a brother-in-law, and they might be dating someone. You might have a soon-to-be sister-in-law.
“But you have a relationship personally with them that no one else is involved in because it’s your relationship. And so I don’t need to come out here and make statements when I already talked to them. You see what I’m saying? “
She went on to admit she thinks it “goes without being said” that she is thrilled for the pair. “I am so incredibly happy for them. We are so excited that they are taking this next step.
“The girls [daughters Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett] are so excited to get another aunt. I am so truly happy for them, and I feel grateful that we get to welcome Taylor into our family in a more official capacity.”
However, she said that is their “private relationship,” meaning she doesn’t need to discuss it in the open. She admitted she can simply just text the pair with her messages rather than air it on her podcast.
Travis and Taylor announced their good news in August, two years after going public with their relationship. Their power relationship began in the summer of 2023 after the sports star attended Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Kansas City.
On his podcast at the time, the 35-year-old revealed that he had tried to give Taylor, also 35, a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it, but was unsuccessful in actually meeting her.
However, after talking privately the pair grew closer. And two years on, they released a joint statement to share their engagement news.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” they said on social media. They also posted a TNT emoji.
In one sweet snap in the announcement, Taylor was seen crying as she hugged her now fiancé. For the proposal, Travis got down on one knee, surrounded by stunning flowers in a garden.
