Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Turn Up the Charm on New Heights Podcast
Taylor Swift is no stranger to making headlines — but this time, it’s not for a chart-topping single or record-breaking tour. Instead, the 14-time Grammy winner is set to make her New Heights podcast debut, joining her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce for a special episode premiering Wednesday, August 13, at 7 PM ET.
The New Heights Instagram account dropped the surprise announcement on August 11, writing:
"92%ers, we’re coming back early for a special episode with a VERY special guest. New episode Wednesday 7PM ET."
And if that wasn’t enough to set the internet on fire, a teaser clip posted hours later sent the Swiftie-KC Chiefs fandom into full meltdown mode.
The Flirty Preview That Has Fans Talking
In the preview, Swift compliments Travis, telling him, “Blue is a nice color on you.” Without missing a beat, Travis flashes his trademark grin and responds, “Yes, I know. It’s the color of your eyes, sweetie. It’s why we match so well.”
That single moment — sweet, playful, and just a little bit cheeky — was all it took to spark a wave of fan theories and swooning tweets.
One fan wrote, “DONT DO THIS UNLESS IT’S FOR REAL IM SO SERIOUS,” while another eagle-eyed follower pointed out, “THEY’RE WEARING TAYLOR MERCH!” referring to Jason Kelce’s Eras Tour shirt in the promo image.
And then there was the comment that perfectly summed up Swiftie detective skills: “It’s the bangs in the silhouette for me.”
From Friendship Bracelet to Podcast Co-Host
Swift and Travis’s love story has been one of the most-watched celebrity relationships of the past two years. The two first connected in July 2023 when Travis revealed on New Heights that he had tried — and failed — to give Taylor a friendship bracelet with his phone number during her Kansas City Eras Tour stop.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Travis admitted at the time.
That missed opportunity didn’t stop fate from stepping in. By the 2023-2024 NFL season, Taylor had become a regular presence at Kansas City Chiefs home games, often spotted in the suite with Travis’s family, her own parents, and an A-list lineup of friends.
A Relationship That’s Gone Global
Their romance hasn’t been confined to football stadiums. During his off-season, Travis has been spotted at multiple Eras Tour concerts across the globe. In June 2024, he even made a surprise on-stage appearance during Taylor’s London show, joining her for the whimsical “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” skit.
The couple’s calendar has also been dotted with other high-profile appearances. In June, they attended Tight End University in Nashville, where they made their unofficial “red carpet debut” and Taylor treated the crowd to an impromptu performance of Shake It Off.
Jason Kelce’s Candid Take on the Romance
Jason Kelce has been one of the most endearing narrators of his brother’s relationship, openly sharing his initial reaction when Travis told him he was hanging out with Taylor Swift.
“I remember just being like, ‘Are you kidding me? Like you’re hanging out with Taylor Swift? That’s insane. That’s awesome for you,’” Jason said on The Steam Room podcast earlier this year.
He added that Travis’s early enthusiasm for Taylor felt “different” from any relationship before, explaining, “You could tell how much he really, really liked her, right from the get-go.”
Fans Already Predicting a Record-Breaking Episode
Given the popularity of New Heights — which has hosted guests like Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt, Jason Sudeikis, Caitlin Clark, and Adam Sandler — there’s no doubt Taylor’s appearance will draw massive numbers. Fans are already predicting that the August 13 episode could become the most-streamed in the podcast’s history.
The combination of Travis and Jason’s sibling banter, Taylor’s quick wit, and the couple’s undeniable chemistry is a recipe for internet-breaking content. And judging by the teaser alone, the conversation will be equal parts playful and personal.
Why This Moment Feels So Special
For Swifties, this isn’t just a celebrity couple doing a joint interview — it’s a rare peek into Taylor’s life outside of music. Over the years, Taylor has kept her personal relationships mostly private, allowing glimpses only through her songs and carefully chosen moments.
Appearing on New Heights marks a new chapter where she’s willing to share her happiness openly, and with the kind of charm that fans adore.
For Travis, it’s a full-circle moment — the same podcast where he once confessed his “bracelet fail” will now feature the woman who’s become the center of his world.
What to Expect on August 13
While details about the full conversation remain under wraps, fans can expect a mix of lighthearted banter, behind-the-scenes stories from their relationship, and maybe even a few playful jabs from Jason.
And if the clip is any indication, we might get more adorable exchanges like:
Taylor: “Blue is a nice color on you.”
Travis: “Yes, I know. It’s the color of your eyes, sweetie. It’s why we match so well.”
August 13 can’t come soon enough.
Bottom Line:
Whether you’re a die-hard Swiftie, a Chiefs Kingdom loyalist, or just someone who enjoys seeing genuine chemistry between two people in love, Taylor Swift’s New Heights debut promises to be one of the most entertaining podcast episodes of the year.
