Every couple has their one Taylor Swift song, and The Bachelor’s Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson are no different.

During Tuesday's episode of the Chicks in the Office podcast, Graziadei, 28, confessed that Swift’s song “Dress” off her 2017 Reputation album reminds him of his fiancée.

He recalled that on a trip to Malta, Anderson, 25, introduced him to the song for the first time.

“There was a song when she was on the plane that always made her think of me,” the tennis pro said. “Then I listened to the song, so whenever I had a moment of like, ‘I miss Kelsey,’ I would just get one of the producers. Like, play ‘Dress’ right now.”

Anderson explained her personal connection to the song, citing the opening lyrics: “Our secret moments / in your crowded room / They got no idea about me and you.”

“That’s why it really made me think of him,” the junior project manager explained. “We didn’t have phones, so I was just listening to whatever was on the plane. And so I was listening to that song over and over again.”

The Bachelor’s 28th season came to a close with Graziadei proposing to Anderson in Tulum, Mexico, with an Art Deco-inspired ring containing an emerald-cut diamond in the center. Celebrity jewelry designer Neil Lane told PEOPLE that the bachelor wanted a ring that reflected Anderson’s “radiance, uniqueness, joy and sentimental nature.”

Their relationship has been a learning experience for both of them. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the couple said that the show provided couples’ counseling to help them navigate communication.

“The couples' counseling made a huge difference for us to not only be able to find better ways to communicate, but also learn how each of us communicate differently,” Graziadei detailed.

In addition to picking up on each other’s communication styles, Graziadei also revealed some quirks about his fiancée.

"She'll rip a burp sometimes, and it's like, 'Oh, that's cute,'” he said. “And then, all of a sudden, there's five or four more in a couple of minutes. I'm like, 'Oh, wow. She's just got some burp moments.'”
