Bachelorette's Jason Tartick Raves About Taylor Swift's "Radiance" During NYC Encounter

The Bachelorette veteran Jason Tartick is a true fan of Taylor Swift — and his recent experience explains why.

“While I didn’t personally interact with her, I was positioned at a table in this very booth, directly adjacent to hers, for two hours, sharing the space with fewer than 85 individuals,” the 37-year-old Tartick elaborated in an Instagram video posted on Friday, November 7. He disclosed to his followers that he had encountered Taylor Swift and her fiancé, Travis Kelce, during their outing on Thursday, November 6, in New York City.

“Seriously, for two straight hours, she was just a short distance from me. It was incredible,” he added.

“To start, what struck me was the level of discretion maintained within the venue, which, despite having roughly 8,500 patrons, prevented any photography or approaches to their table. While slightly disappointing, it also piqued my interest, knowing the moment they exited the club, paparazzi would be waiting. Following those two hours of simply absorbing her presence — her energy, her radiance, her luminescence in the space — it was truly captivating; you couldn’t avert your gaze from her.”

The 35-year-old Swift, Tartick noted, was also sporting “her signature red lipstick,” and he mentioned that she “wore the watch, and her new engagement ring was truly dazzling.”

“She exuded an aura that was incredibly modest, genuine, and grounded, yet simultaneously possessed a profound brilliance, if that makes any sense,” he commented, further stating that the couple “appeared utterly charming” throughout their stay at the establishment.

When a commenter inquired if he “caught any interesting gossip,” Tartick responded, “No, and even if I had, I wouldn’t divulge it. I was utterly impressed by her complete engagement. It was as if nothing else in the world mattered beyond the individuals right before her. My favorite moment was observing her finish her own drink, then casually lean over to take a large sip from his. A true icon.”

Swift and Kelce were captured in photographs together in New York City on Thursday, just a day subsequent to their previous sighting, where they were seen holding hands en route to dinner at The Polo Bar.

Swift and Kelce confirmed their engagement back in August, following a two-year relationship.

“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” Swift wrote in an Instagram caption accompanying multiple images from the proposal. The event occurred at Kelce’s residence following her initial appearance on her now-fiancé’s popular podcast.

“He absolutely excelled at catching me off guard. During our discussion for his podcast, he had an entire garden constructed behind his home specifically for the proposal,” Swift shared during an October interview on The Graham Norton Show. “He put in tremendous effort — a perfect score of 10 out of 10.”

While the couple has disclosed minimal information regarding a date or specifics about their wedding, an insider exclusively informed Us Weekly in September that they are currently in the “initial phases of planning” for their nuptials.

“No specific venue or location has been decided upon yet,” the source further stated, although they suggested the wedding is anticipated to occur in early 2026.

“[Swift] is thoroughly enjoying the process of exploring potential venues and settings,” the source also mentioned. “She’s currently brainstorming ideas and finding it delightful due to her creative nature.”

The source elaborated: “They aren’t looking for an extravagant, elaborate wedding with a vast guest list. Instead, it will be an intimate affair with close friends and family, avoiding a multitude of celebrities or casual acquaintances. The event will hold deep personal significance, with them surrounded by those they cherish most. Despite their public profiles, they remain grounded and unpretentious. They aren’t the type to desire a lavish, multi-million-dollar dream wedding. She has no interest in grand displays or excessive formality.”
