Certified Swiftie Nikki Glaser has a lot of thoughts on Taylor Swift's engagement to Travis Kelce.

While attending the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday (September 7), the host of the Nikki Glaser Podcast revealed the way she first learned of her fave's happy news and explained why she thinks the engagement heard around the world will absolutely "ruin some relationships," per People.

"I woke up from a nap and my phone was blown up. I thought someone had died... It's the best news," she told Entertainment Tonight.

Glaser is a big fan of the Life of a Showgirl singer and has even admitting to spending nearly $100,000 attending 22 shows on Swift's Eras Tour. As a Swiftie, she like many others is very happy for the musician, especially seeing the couple interact on Swift's record-breaking appearance on Kelce's New Heights podcast.

"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 said. "So as someone who just feels like they're friends with her parasocially, I mean I feel like every Swiftie couldn't have been happier just to see her celebrated in that way and just show off in that way. He's obsessed with her, and that's what every girl deserves, and every guy deserves."

In fact, Glaser said that Swift and Kelce are setting the standard for how a relationship should be, joking that their bond is "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.' I think there's a lot of people watching it like, 'Maybe I deserve better,'" she posited. "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."

Swift and Kelce announced August 26 that they were engaged after two years of dating, sharing photos from the romantic garden proposal as well as her stunning new diamond ring. While it was unclear at the time when Kelce popped the question, the Kansas City Chief's star's father Ed Kelce shared new details about the special moment, including when they actually got engaged.
