In a groundbreaking move for her career, Taylor Swift marked her podcast debut on 'New Heights', a show hosted by her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, and his brother Jason Kelce. The hour-long episode, which aired on Wednesday night, attracted over 1.3 million listeners live and showcased a blend of humor and heartfelt moments as Swift discussed her upcoming album, "The Life of a Showgirl," set to release on October 3rd.
The podcast opened with an exuberant introduction from Jason, who enthusiastically detailed Swift's numerous awards, including her historic accomplishment of winning the album of the year Grammy four times. Amid the laughter and camaraderie, Swift couldn't resist poking fun at the male-dominated sports audience, remarking, "I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want... it's more of me." This light-hearted jab comes after her much-publicized appearances at Kansas City Chiefs games, where cameras often captured her in the stands.
During the podcast, Swift recounted how she never knew much about football before meeting Travis. "I didn't know what a first down was," she admitted, explaining how her boyfriend patiently introduced her to the sport. Now, she professes a newfound interest, even humorously questioning "Who body snatched me?" after finding herself intrigued by player trades.
An emotional highlight came when Swift addressed the long-fought battle over her master recordings, revealing she finally regained the rights to her first six albums. "This changed my life," she reflected, recalling the tears of joy she shed upon receiving the news from her mother. Swift praised her fans for their support during this journey, emphasizing that it was their attendance at the Eras Tour that enabled her to reclaim her music.
The episode also touched on the profound connection Swift and Travis share, with her affectionately describing him as "the good kind of crazy". She remarked on the joy and reality of their relationship, mentioning the quirky baking moments they share at home, a contrast to her intense concert performances during the Eras Tour.
As the podcast concluded, Jason humorously suggested that he should step away to give the couple some privacy, to which Swift playfully agreed. This marked a rare and intimate glimpse into the life of one of music's biggest stars, blending the worlds of pop and football, while revealing the significance of love and music in her life.
