After sending the Internet into a frenzy with hints that Taylor Swift would soon be making her New Heights debut, Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce have confirmed that the pop star is indeed joining them on the podcast — and she just might make a big announcement during the episode.
Late Monday night (Aug. 13), the two brothers officially revealed that they would be welcoming the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s superstar girlfriend as a guest on the show by sharing an adorable video on social media. In the clip, Swift sits next to Travis and compliments his blue sweater, to which he replies: “It’s the color of your eyes, sweetie … it’s why we match so well.”
“We’re about to do a f—ing podcast!” the singer then says in disbelief.
Swift’s cameo on New Heights will premiere at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday (Aug. 13).
The big reveal comes just hours after New Heights first teased that the 14-time Grammy winner would finally be appearing on the program, something fans have been asking for since Swift first started dating Travis about two years ago. Earlier Monday, the Kelce brothers shared a cryptic promo image with a sparkly orange background and a blacked-out silhouette of a mystery woman, whom Swifties quickly concluded must be the musician.
Also adding to the hype, Swift’s official fan account, Taylor Nation, shared 12 images of the artist wearing orange outfits on stage at her Eras Tour. “Thinking about when she said ‘See you next era…,’” the caption read.
With that post coming just 12 minutes after the New Heights teaser, fans were immediately certain that the podcast would be the platform on which Swift announces her highly anticipated 12th studio album — though they’ll have to tune in Wednesday to find out for sure. Regardless of whether or not she does share TS12 news, however, the hitmaker certainly has a lot to catch up with listeners about; in the past year alone, she’s wrapped up her two-year billion-dollar Eras trek and reclaimed the master rights to her first six albums.
Plus, the New Heights episode will mark a full-circle moment for Swift and Travis no matter what, as the couple’s romance first began with the pod. Weeks after the athlete professed his crush on the singer on a July 2023 episode — telling Jason at the time that he was “butthurt” about failing to give her his phone number at an Eras show — Swift would appear at one of his home games. The rest was history.
“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Swift recalled in her 2023 TIME Person of the Year interview. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple.”
