While some people tune into the New Heights podcast for football content, others listen to get the scoop on Travis Kelce's romance with Taylor Swift. Travis and his brother Jason Kelce have not disappointed her fans as they have referenced Swift in numerous episodes.
Episode 50
Travis, 34, first spoke about the singer-songwriter, also 34, on the hit podcast in July 2023, after he attended the Eras Tour. The Kansas City Chiefs tight-end had his eye on Swift before the concert, hoping to give her a friendship bracelet with his digits.
"If you're up on Taylor concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it," Travis explained in the episode.
Jason, 36, then asked if he meant his football number [87] or his cell number, to which Travis replied, "You know which one."
Episode 55
It is unknown when the NFL star exactly began dating the pop sensation, but by September 2023, the pair appeared official as the musician came to watch Travis play in a Chiefs game.
"How's it feel that Taylor Swift has finally put you on the map?" Jason teasingly asked his younger sibling. "Shout-out to Taylor for pulling up," Travis quipped. "That was pretty ballsy." Travis' friends and family seemed to approve of Swift as he told Jason, "I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her."
Travis then discussed how he wanted to keep things more private in the relationship. "I know I brought all this attention to me... I did the whole friendship bracelet thing and told everybody how butthurt I was that I didn't get to meet Taylor," Travis admitted. "What's real is that it is my personal life, and I want to respect both of our lives. She's not in the media as much as I am doing this show every single week," the University of Cincinnati alum added. "So everything moving forward, I think me talking about sports and saying 'alright now' will kind of be kinda where I keep it," Travis told listeners.
Episode 64
Travis didn't keep things private for too long — in November 2023, he gave insight into his trip with the 14-time Grammy winner to Buenos Aries, Argentina, for the Eras Tour. In Argentina, Swift changed the lyrics onstage to her hit song "Karma" for her new man, singing, "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs." Although the Super Bowl champion knew about the lyric change beforehand, he told Jason, "It still shocked me."
Episode 66
In November 2023, Jason spoke about how Travis broke an impressive record in his football career (he became the fastest tight end to reach 11,000 yards). Travis didn't seem fazed by his record, but Jason pointed out how someone who was.
"You might not care about records, but you know who does a 92 percent by the name of Taylor Swift... she liked an Instagram announcement from the Cheifs about you breaking this record," Jason quipped.
"Thanks, Tay. I appreciate you on the Chiefs page supporting," Travis responded.
Episode 69
Even sports fans supporting opposing teams can't get enough of Swift. In December 2023, Travis reflected on how the New England Patriots fans were cheering for Swift at a game. "You don't see an entire home team fanbase go insane for somebody wearing the opposite team's colors. Just shows you how amazing that girl is," Travis gushed.
While there may have been a couple of haters, most people loved seeing the a-lister. "Might have been a few Brads and Chads that were booing, but for the most part, everybody was f***king screaming," Travis recalled.
Episode 81
In March 2024, Travis shared a little about his trip to Singapore to watch Swift perform. "Got to see two amazing shows at the Eras Tour," Travis told Jason in the episode.
Episode 85
Swift became a topic of conversation again when rapper Lil Dicky guest-starred on the podcast in April 2024. Jason told him they had many Swifties listening to the show now. When Lil Dicky asked how they were doing with all these new listeners, Travis said he was happy as can be. "I'm having a blast in life ... Bringing new lives to the football world, opening the football world up to new things," he exclaimed. Lil Dicky went on to praise the relationship to which Travis replied, "I don't know how I did it because she wasn't into sports."
Episode 96
In June 2024, after watching the "Cruel Summer" singer perform at Wembley Stadium, the brothers podcasted from London, England — marking the first time Jason had seen the Emmy Award winner in concert.
Travis compared the crowds when he played the Detroit Lions at Wembley Stadium to Swift's show. "I remember 2015 playing in front of 80,000 [people] in Wembley Stadium ... they get a lot louder for Taylor than they do for American football," Travis exclaimed.
"It was insanely impressive," the retired Philadelphia Eagles player quipped.
Episode 98
Adam Sandler joined the podcast in August 2024 and talked about how his family are huge fans of Swift.
Sandler's daughters caught up with the starlet at the premiere of the Eras movie. Travis told the Happy Gilmore actor Swift "was so grateful that you took the girls up."
"When you guys first started dating, my god, was my family like, 'Yes, look how good they are together,' ... anytime Taylor's laughing with you, my whole, f***ing family is like high-fiving," Sandler exclaimed. "So good, man, you got me sweating over here," Travis responded after the kind comments from Sandler.
Episode 100
On Wednesday, September 11, Travis and Jason wished the "Fortnight" singer luck at the VMAs. "Hopefully, Taylor can walk away with a few. She's nominated for about 10 of those things tonight," Travis stated.
After Travis said he was "wishing everybody" the best at the award show, Jason chimed in, "Unless you're up against Tay."
