Travis Kelce just scored the ultimate podcast guest — Taylor Swift.
The “New Heights” podcast, hosted by Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, just dropped a teaser on Instagram for a coming episode featuring the singer.
In the short clip, Swift complimented Kelce on his blue sweater, to which he replied: “Yes, I know. It’s the color of your eyes, sweetie. That’s why we match so well.”
The episode drops on August 13 at 7 p.m. ET, per the teaser.
The “New Heights” podcast launched on September 8, 2022, and this marks the first time that Swift appears on the show as a guest, although the brothers have mentioned her several times.
Most notably, Kelce said in an April 2023 episode that he had made a friendship bracelet for Swift with his number on it, and tried to shoot his shot with her during her Eras Tour concert.
Swift confirmed in a December 2023 interview with Time magazine that she and Kelce “started hanging out right after that.”

This appearance on “New Heights” also marks one of Swift’s rare podcast appearances. The singer has previously appeared on “The Zach Sang Show” and Apple Music’s “The Zane Lowe Show.”
Swift’s guest appearance arrives amid speculation that she may be teasing a big music announcement.
A countdown on Swift’s official website, set against a glittery orange backdrop, is ticking down to 12:12 a.m. ET on August 12. Fans speculate the countdown could signal a new album — which, if released, would be her 12th studio record.
Swift is the world’s richest female musician, with an estimated net worth of $1.4 billion, per May data from Bloomberg.
Over the years, the “New Heights” podcast has hosted several high-profile guests, including Brad Pitt, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and LeBron James — who, like Swift, is a billionaire.
Representatives for Kelce and Swift did not immediately respond to requests for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours.
