The New Heights podcast took the social media by storm when it featured internationally famed singer Taylor Swift for the first time. The 14-time Grammy winner, who’s dating one of the hosts of the show, Travis Kelce, announced her new album while touching on other topics of discussion during the episode.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been one of the most talked-about couples in the NFL world, as well as appear regularly on pop culture pages. Their romance has stood the test of time as they support each other on their biggest stages. It was on one such stage in 2024, one AFC Divisional Game, when Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs played the Buffalo Bills at an away ground that Swift met a few of her beau’s closest family.

In the new episode, Taylor Swift touched upon the first interaction between her and Travis’s brother, and sister-in-law, Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce. Jason, who’s the other host of the podcast, addressed the day. He claimed that he was asked to be on his best behavior by Kylie, and when Swift said that she didn’t know, Jason asked what her first impression of him was.

I didn’t know what you were told. I did know that one of the first things I saw you say to Kylie [was], ‘I was just shotgunning beers with the Bills Mafia and I really want to go through one of the fire tables.’ … She goes, ‘OK. Can we not do that right now?’ Since then, I’ve heard her say that exact thing to your 4-year-old.

Taylor Swift said

The Blank Space singer then added that Jason, as well as Kylie, were exactly how she imagined them to be. Furthermore, she heaped praise on the couple, calling them cool, smart, and fantastic. She also thanked her boyfriend for introducing her to the NFL while reflecting on the speed at which Jason was operating that night.

I swear to God, Jason, you flew through the window at lightspeed. I have never seen someone so big move so fast. And all of a sudden, you are out there in the snow and you’re handing me children through the window.
