Are the Swifties ready for an exciting surprise? On Monday morning, Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce stirred up a buzz among fans of Taylor Swift when they hinted at a “VERY special guest” for their popular podcast, “New Heights.” In a captivating post shared on X, Travis—who has been romantically linked to the pop icon since 2023—was seen beaming while gazing at a blacked-out silhouette that many believe to be Swift. Meanwhile, Jason, 37, donned a navy blue shirt celebrating Swift’s blockbuster Eras Tour.
The excitement among fans was palpable. One enthusiastic follower tweeted, “I am about to throw up,” while another exclaimed, “YALL WEARING TAYLOR SHIRTS! The background is sparkly orange. Oh my god!” A third user chimed in with, “The Midnights shirt…the look on Travis’ face….the silhouette. IM NOT CLOWNING YOURE CLOWNING.” This palpable energy underscores the profound connection between Swift's fanbase and the Kelce brothers, highlighting the intersection of sports and music culture.
The much-anticipated episode featuring this “special guest” is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, August 13, at 7 p.m. ET. Taylor Swift, 35, has been seen spending quality time with Travis, also 35, this offseason as he gears up for his 13th NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs. Although Swift has yet to make an appearance on “New Heights,” her name has been mentioned numerous times throughout the podcast's episodes, piquing the interest of listeners.
Swift made headlines when she attended her first Chiefs game in September 2023, an event that sent shockwaves through social media. Travis praised her for the “ballsy” move, stating, “I just thought it was awesome that everybody in the suite had nothing but good things to say about her, the friends, and family. She looked amazing, and everybody was talking about her in a great light, and on top of that, the day went perfect for the Chiefs.” This endorsement from Travis not only reflects his admiration for Swift but also solidifies her presence in the NFL community.
Throughout the NFL season, Swift was spotted at several Chiefs games, including the thrilling overtime Super Bowl victory against the 49ers in February 2024. However, despite the Chiefs reaching the Super Bowl for the third consecutive year, they faced a crushing defeat against the Eagles in New Orleans, ending the game 40-22. Travis, who had a quiet performance with just 39 yards and four receptions, expressed his disappointment at training camp last week, saying he’s “thrown that thing in the trash.”
The Chiefs are set to kick off the 2025 NFL season against the Chargers in Brazil, followed by a Super Bowl rematch against the Eagles at their home turf, Arrowhead Stadium, the following week. The highly anticipated matchup against the Chargers will take place on September 5. As excitement builds for the new season, it remains uncertain whether Taylor Swift will be in attendance to cheer on her partner, Travis Kelce.
As fans eagerly await the new podcast episode and the start of the NFL season, the convergence of Taylor Swift’s music and the Kelce brothers' football careers continues to captivate audiences across the globe.
