Global superstar makes podcast debut with NFL power couple in most anticipated episode yet
New York, NY – In a move that sent shockwaves through both the music and sports worlds, Taylor Swift will make her inaugural appearance on the New Heights podcast this Wednesday, August 13. The episode marks the first official joint media appearance for Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce since their relationship became public in September 2023.
A Podcast Moment Years in the Making
The announcement came via the New Heights Instagram account with a tantalizing preview clip showing the couple’s signature playful banter. When Swift complimented Kelce’s blue attire, the Chiefs tight end responded: “Yes, I know. It’s the color of your eyes, sweetie, it’s why we match so well.”
The teaser immediately broke the internet, with Swifties and NFL fans alike dissecting every frame. Eagle-eyed fans noted Jason Kelce wearing Eras Tour merchandise, while others identified Swift’s signature bangs in the episode’s silhouette teaser image.
