Taylor Swift announces ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ alongside Travis Kelce
In a preview of her upcoming interview on the “New Heights” podcast, Taylor Swift reveals her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl.”
A third Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce video has surfaced teasing her “New Heights” podcast episode on Aug. 13. But honestly, baby, who’s counting?
1… 2… 3…
In the latest clip of Swift’s appearance on “New Heights,” the Eras Tour singer, wearing a white blouse and tan skirt, smiles and laughs along as cohost Jason Kelce gives her a lengthy introduction listing many of her accolades. Travis Kelce, sitting next to Swift, plays his part as a hype man during the intro by chiming in with exclamations to underline her most impressive accomplishments.
“That was so good,” Swift tells Jason Kelce after he finally finishes introducing her. “Thank you for screaming for like 47 seconds for me. That was so nice.”
“Tay Tay, welcome to ‘New Heights,'” Travis Kelce tells his superstar girlfriend, who thanks him for having her “on my favorite podcast.”
Swift goes on to make a self-deprecating joke at the end of the clip.
“You guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast, and I think we all know that if there’s one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens, it’s more of me,” she quips.
Taylor Swift album announcement sparks fan buzz
The first two videos – posted on Aug. 11 and 12 – have racked up 20 million views and 9 million views, respectively on X. For perspective, other videos on the “New Heights” account promoting special guests average 40,000 to 300,000 views.
Swift set social media on fire when she announced the title of her 12th era at 12:12 a.m. on Aug. 12. Although the cover art to “The Life of a Showgirl” is blurred, the Eras Tour singer is creating enough global buzz and anticipation for the prime time YouTube livestream to hit north of seven digits.
Fans have been theorizing when the album will drop, will there will be any singles and will there be more surprises on the podcast? Like the Eras Tour documentary, or Searchlight Pictures movie she’s set to direct or maybe some exciting personal news.
What is shown in the teaser videos is Swift and Kelce are side-by-side, sharing the news as a unit. When Swift held up a briefcase in the second video to tease her newest project, Jason Kelce seemed to react naturally with jubilation whereas Travis seemed like he was in on the announcement.
