Travis and Jason Kelce’s podcast “New Heights” has proven to be a massive success. In 2024, the brothers inked a three-year deal with Amazon’s podcast network Wondery, reported to be worth over $100 million.
The podcast has been the talk of the internet recently, though, after Travis’s superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift, announced the release of her 12th studio album. The pop icon appeared in the preview of an episode, which is due to be released on August 13, announcing her new album, with the artwork blurred out.
Where and How to Watch “New Heights” with Taylor Swift
Swift’s appearance on the podcast is almost certain to break viewership records for the show, which began in 2022. The show is no stranger to having big-name guests, with stars like Adam Sandler, Ben Affleck, and LeBron James having sat down for conversations with the Super Bowl-winning siblings.
None, though, can compare to the fame and worldwide adoration that Swift holds, with the singer’s fanbase among the most loyal and protective in the world. Thanks to his relationship with Swift, Travis has gone from being a future Hall of Famer in his sport to being known worldwide and well beyond football.

With unthinkable numbers of “Swifties” no doubt desperate to see their hero’s appearance on the podcast, it won’t just be football fans tuning in to watch the show this week. But how, where, and when can you catch the episode first?
New episodes are released every Wednesday, but early, ad-free access is available to Wondery+ subscribers in the Wondery app.
The episode will also be available on other podcast streaming platforms, such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. According to the show’s Instagram tease, the episode will be widely available at 7 p.m. ET.
What Could Swift Reveal About New Album?
Following the teaser video, what is already known is that the album will be called “The Life of a Showgirl.” Also, as the star’s website revealed, the album will be available in a glittery orange vinyl, although the cover art has yet to be revealed.
Fans will be eager to see whether the artwork will still be blurred out during the actual episode or whether that was merely a tease to draw in more viewers. Swift did reveal that physical copies of the album would be shipped by October 13, but didn’t specify a release date.
Many fans have speculated that October 13 will be the official release date, as 13 is known to be the singer’s favorite number. October 5, Travis’s birthday, could also be in the running, with symbolism a regular feature of Swift’s work and announcements. The couple were both born in 1989, the title of Swift’s fifth studio album.
Previewing Travis Kelce’s 13th NFL Season
Despite speculations about a potential retirement after the brutal loss in the Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles, Kelce is continuing to play football.
He is getting ready for his 13th season in the league, and has his sights set on winning the fourth Super Bowl of his career.
The Chiefs have a better roster than last year, and it wouldn’t surprise many if they make a fourth straight Super Bowl this upcoming season.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is determined to bounce back from the loss against the Eagles, and for Kelce, retiring from the NFL after winning another Super Bowl will be the ultimate dream.
Kansas City will begin their season in Brazil, where they take on the Los Angeles Chargers, in what will be a crucial matchup for the race to win the AFC West. Kelce finished last season with 97 receptions for 823 yards and just three touchdowns.
However, with Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown back healthy and an improved version of Xavier Worthy, expect the Chiefs’ tight end to be more impactful in the red zone.
