Taylor Swift’s latest era is almost upon us. The superstar isn’t just releasing new music — she’s appearing Wednesday on “New Heights” for the first time.
Part of the rollout for Tuesday’s announcement of “The Life of a Showgirl” involved the popular, typically football-focused podcast hosted by Travis Kelce — Swift’s boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs tight end — and his brother, Jason Kelce, the former Philadelphia Eagles center.
The show teased “a special episode with a VERY special guest” on social media Monday, sharing an orange background and a mysterious silhouette that many believed to be Swift. It turned out to be true, the show’s social media accounts confirmed later, at the same time Swift announced her 12th studio album.
Here’s everything you need to know about Swift’s episode.

What we know about Taylor Swift’s episode
Not a whole lot.
After the initial tease, the podcast shared a short video clip to its social media platforms early Tuesday. In it, Swift told the Kelce brothers she wanted to show them something, revealing a mint-green briefcase that featured her initials in orange. Jason Kelce asked what’s in it, prompting her to pull out a vinyl record with a blurred cover.
“This is my brand new album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl,’” she shared.
Soon afterward, the “New Heights” podcast shared another clip featuring Swift to tease Wednesday’s episode. In it, Swift complimented the color of Travis Kelce’s sweatshirt, who responded, “It’s the color of your eyes, sweetie. It’s why we match so well.”
Swift retorted, “We’re about to do a (expletive) podcast.”
Wednesday morning, the podcast released another tease — this time sharing Jason Kelce’s introduction of Swift, where he ticked off her career-long list of accolades in screaming fashion.
“As we all know, you guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast and I think we all know that if there’s one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens, it’s more of me,” Swift quipped in the clip.
