This podcast got me a boyfriend ever since Travis decided to use it as his personal dating app about two years ago. \u2026 It was such a wild, romantic gesture. \u2026 I was like, \u2018If this guy isn\u2019t crazy, which is a big if, this is sort of what I&#8217;ve been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\">Travis famously mentioned on &#8220;New Heights&#8221; that he went to one of Swift&#8217;s shows at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City in July 2023 and tried to connect with her at the show but wasn&#8217;t able to. Rumors quickly began to swirl that word had gotten back to Swift and that the two had met and ultimately sparked a relationship that summer, but the pair didn&#8217;t go public until the fall, when Swift attended her first Chiefs game on September 24, 2023.<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"yt-M2lX9XESvDE\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/M2lX9XESvDE?enablejsapi=1\" title=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe> <!----><\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/stories\/nfl\/taylor-swift-announcing-her-next-album-kelce-brothers-podcast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fans had been strongly anticipating this episode&#8217;s release<\/a> ever since &#8220;New Heights&#8221; <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/newheightshow\/status\/1954890560017403947\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dropped its initial promotional graphic on Monday<\/a> teasing a &#8220;very special&#8221; surprise guest. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/newheightshow\/status\/1955086850537988404\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Later that day, Swift was confirmed as the guest with another promo post<\/a> \u2014 a clip featuring her and Travis sitting side by side in the podcast studio. In the very early hours of Tuesday morning, &#8220;New Heights&#8221; <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/newheightshow\/status\/1955120055647343093\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dropped a third promo post that nearly broke the internet<\/a> \u2014 a clip from the episode in which Swift revealed the completion of her 12th studio album to the Kelce brothers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\">Here are some fun facts about Wednesday&#8217;s &#8220;New Heights&#8221; episode featuring Swift:<\/p>\n<ul displaynav=\"true\" class=\"article-content mg-b-25\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\" data-v-7259cf83=\"\"><!--[--><\/p>\n<li class=\"ff-h\" data-v-7259cf83=\"\"><span data-v-7259cf83=\"\">The episode dropped on August 13. Thirteen is widely known as Swift&#8217;s lucky number, as she has incorporated it into various aspects of her career for decades. Swift was born on the 13th, turned 13 on Friday the 13th and had her first album go gold in 13 weeks. Her first hit song had a 13-second intro, and she often puts her most significant songs as Track 13 on all her albums. This season serendipitously marks Travis&#8217; 13th in the NFL.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"ff-h\" data-v-7259cf83=\"\"><span data-v-7259cf83=\"\">During the podcast, Jason wore a navy blue T-shirt from The Eras Tour, Swift&#8217;s iconic 149-show concert tour that spanned 51 cities, 21 countries and five continents from March 2023 to Dec. 2024. Jason reportedly attended at least six shows during The Eras Tour, while Travis reportedly attended at least 14. One of the most noteworthy shows was Swift&#8217;s second show in Buenos Aires, Argentina on November 11, 2023, when she famously changed the lyrics in her finale song &#8220;Karma&#8221; from &#8220;Karma is the guy on the screen&#8221; to &#8220;Karma is the guy on the Chiefs.&#8221; Travis watched from the VIP tent with Swift&#8217;s dad, Scott. Another was when <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/stories\/nfl\/travis-kelce-makes-surprise-onstage-appearance-taylor-swifts-london-concert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Travis made a surprise on-stage appearance during Swift&#8217;s third show at Wembley Stadium in London on June 23, 2024<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"ff-h\" data-v-7259cf83=\"\"><span data-v-7259cf83=\"\">The initial &#8220;New Heights&#8221; promo graphic featured a glittery orange background, which fans were quick \u2014 and correct \u2014 to connect to upcoming new music. Each of Swift&#8217;s 10 albums released before The Eras Tour is tied to a specific color: mint green (&#8220;Taylor Swift&#8221;), gold (&#8220;Fearless&#8221;), purple (&#8220;Speak Now&#8221;), red (&#8220;Red&#8221;), turquoise (&#8220;1989&#8221;), black (&#8220;Reputation&#8221;), pink (&#8220;Lover&#8221;), gray (&#8220;Folklore&#8221;), peach (&#8220;Evermore&#8221;) and navy (&#8220;Midnights&#8221;). Prior to Wednesday, orange hadn&#8217;t yet been used to represent her discography, but it&#8217;s officially the featured color for TS12, as the same glittery orange background from the &#8220;New Heights&#8221; promo is <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/store.taylorswift.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">being used as the banner on her official online store and as the sneak-peek color for the vinyl version of her new album<\/a>. Oh, and if you Google &#8220;Taylor Swift&#8221; right now, orange confetti drops from your screen.<\/span><\/li>\n<p><!--]--><\/ul>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\">Swift grew up in Reading, Pennsylvania, just 90 minutes outside Philadelphia. Her song &#8220;Gold Rush&#8221; includes a lyric about an &#8220;Eagles T-shirt,&#8221; which she clarified during her stop in Philly on The Eras Tour in February is about the football team, not the rock band. With 14 Grammys, 12 number-one singles and the highest-grossing tour of all time under her belt, Swift is one of the most decorated, highest-certified and best-selling music artists of all time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\">Travis is a highly decorated star in his own right. A three-time Super Bowl champion and 10-time Pro Bowler, Travis holds a handful of NFL records, including most consecutive and overall seasons with 1,000 receiving yards by a tight end (seven) and most receiving yards by a tight end in a single season (1,416). Jason is also a Super Bowl champion and seven-time Pro Bowler, and he&#8217;s widely considered to be a future first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\">The Kelce brothers launched &#8220;New Heights&#8221; in Sept. 2022, and the show saw a huge rise in popularity in the summer of 2023 at the start of Travis and Swift&#8217;s relationship. The podcast has grown to over 2.85 million subscribers as of Aug. 13 and gained over half a million new YouTube subscribers after Swift&#8217;s new album announcement on Aug. 12.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\">The &#8220;New Heights&#8221; promo video of Swift announcing her album got 175 million views on Instagram. Within the first minute of Wednesday&#8217;s episode&#8217;s release on YouTube, 720,000-plus viewers were tuned in to watch the live premiere. Over a million people were tuned in and watching the episode within five minutes of it being live.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\"><i>Want great stories delivered right to your inbox? <\/i><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><u>Create or log in to your FOX Sports account, follow leagues, teams and players to receive a personalized newsletter daily<\/u><\/i><\/a>!<\/p>\n<div class=\"storyFavoriteContainer article-content mg-b-25\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\" data-v-dff65ff3=\"\"> <span class=\"ff-gb fs-23 bold mg-b-20 followTitle\" data-v-dff65ff3=\"\">FOLLOW<\/span> <span class=\"ff-h fs-14 opac-55 lh-1pt43 mg-b-25 center followDescription\" data-v-dff65ff3=\"\">Follow your favorites to personalize your FOX Sports experience<\/span> <\/div>\n<p><!--]--> <\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-col flex-centered mg-b-20 mg-t-20 pd-b-35\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\">\n<p>\n        What did you think of this story?\n      <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <!---->  <\/p>\n<div class=\"story-content-rr tab-mob-only\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\">\n<hr class=\"story-section-divider\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\"\/>\n<div class=\"pos-st\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\">\n<div data-v-8d19012c=\"\" data-v-3faa18d0=\"\">\n<div class=\"trending-articles mg-t-80\" data-v-3faa18d0=\"\">\n<p>\n        recommended\n      <\/p>\n<section class=\"carousel is-ltr is-effect-slide vue-glide__track\" dir=\"ltr\" style=\"--vc-carousel-height:auto;--vc-cloned-offset:0px;--vc-slide-gap:0px;\" aria-label=\"Gallery\" tabindex=\"0\" data-v-3faa18d0=\"\"><!--[--><!--[--><button type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Navigate to previous slide\" title=\"Navigate to previous slide\" class=\"carousel__prev first-slide\"><svg class=\"carousel__icon\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Arrow pointing to the left\"><title>Arrow pointing to the left<\/title><path d=\"M15.41 16.59L10.83 12l4.58-4.59L14 6l-6 6 6 6 1.41-1.41z\"\/><\/svg><\/button><button type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Navigate to next slide\" title=\"Navigate to next slide\" class=\"carousel__next first-slide\"><svg class=\"carousel__icon\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Arrow pointing to the right\"><title>Arrow pointing to the right<\/title><path d=\"M8.59 16.59L13.17 12 8.59 7.41 10 6l6 6-6 6-1.41-1.41z\"\/><\/svg><\/button><!--]--> <!--]--><\/p>\n<p>Item 1 of 3<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!--[--><\/p>\n<hr class=\"story-section-divider\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\"\/>\n<div class=\"story-favorites-section-add\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\">\n<div class=\"logo-container\"> <\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"ff-gb fs-20 bold\">Get more from the National Football League<\/span> <span class=\"ff-h fs-14 opac-55 lh-1pt43 center\">Follow your favorites to get information about games, news and more<\/span> <button data-favorite-uri=\"league:football\/nfl\/league\/1\" class=\"button-favorite center flex pointer fs-14\" data-action-location=\"article favorite\" data-favorite-text=\"FOLLOW\" data-remove-text=\"FOLLOWING\" aria-label=\"Follow Button\"><span class=\"favorite-star\"\/> <span class=\"favorite-text\"\/><\/button><\/div>\n<p><!--]--> <!--[--><\/p>\n<hr class=\"story-section-divider\" data-v-8d19012c=\"\"\/> <!--]--> <!--[--><!--]--><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.foxsports.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taylor Swift shined as this week&#8217;s special guest on &#8220;New Heights,&#8221;
