Taylor Swift’s engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce has been one of the most talked-about celebrity stories of 2025, and it continues to draw reactions from fans and stars alike. Among them is comedian and podcast host Nikki Glaser, who proudly calls herself a certified Swiftie. While attending the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards on September 7, Glaser shared her heartfelt thoughts on the couple’s milestone moment, making a bold prediction about their future.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Glaser recalled the moment she first learned about the engagement. “I woke up from a nap and my phone was blown up. I thought someone had died... It’s the best news,” she said. For the longtime Swift fan, the announcement was nothing short of a dream come true.
A devoted Swiftie’s perspective
Glaser’s admiration for Taylor Swift runs deep. Over the years, she has spent close to $100,000 attending 22 shows during the record-breaking Eras Tour. Naturally, Swift’s happiness is something she takes personally, just like millions of other fans who share a parasocial bond with the pop superstar.
Reflecting on Swift and Kelce’s relationship, Glaser said it was clear to her from the start that this romance would stand the test of time.
“I’m not one to say I saw it coming, but it’s just very obvious to me that this was going to be lasting forever. And after watching that interview on New Heights, it’s just — that’s the kind of guy that you want your best friend to be with,” she explained.
Raising the bar for relationships
For Glaser, the couple’s dynamic goes beyond just celebrity gossip — it sets an aspirational standard for love and partnership. She pointed out how Travis Kelce’s open admiration for Taylor Swift has resonated with fans worldwide.
“He’s obsessed with her, and that’s what every girl deserves, and every guy deserves,” she added.
Glaser even went a step further, humorously noting that their love story might spark introspection for many couples. “It’s gonna ruin some relationships, to be honest. Because I think a lot of people watched that and were like, ‘I deserve that. I deserve that type of enthusiasm, and I deserve that kind of person who celebrates me in that way.’”
According to Glaser, Swift has always raised the bar for women, not just professionally but personally. “Taylor’s always kind of raised the bar for young women of what we feel like we need and deserve, and can do in this lifetime. So I think even romantically, she’s raising the bar. I’m so happy for her,” she said.
A milestone moment for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce

As Taylor Swift prepares for her new era in both music and life, her relationship with Kelce has already become an inspiration — and for fans like Nikki Glaser, it’s proof that sometimes fairytale endings really do come true.
