Travis Kelce just revealed who he desperately wants on New Heights — and it's not Taylor Swift
While fans of New Heights have long hoped for
Taylor Swift
to grace the podcast stage alongside boyfriend
Travis Kelce
and his brother Jason Kelce, the
NFL
star's latest comments suggest those dreams might not come true anytime soon.
Despite the overwhelming public interest in seeing Swift guest-star, Kelce shocked many when he named NFL and MLB legend Deion Sanders as his top pick instead.
Travis Kelce's dream podcast guest leaves fans stunned—his answer was bold and totally unexpected
During a recent appearance on the Bussin' With The Boys podcast with former NFL stars Will Compton and Taylor Lewan, Kelce was asked who his dream guest would be for New Heights. Rather than choosing his globally famous girlfriend — who has never appeared on the show — Kelce responded without hesitation: 'Man, I want to get Deion Sanders on so bad.
I want to talk to him about the football and baseball world that he was in in the late '80s, early '90s, and just chop it up.
'
Kelce continued, expressing his admiration for Sanders' rare feat of excelling in two professional sports. 'He was always one of my favorite guys. I played every sport imaginable growing up, and I always wanted to be one of those guys that played both. Played two. Two-sport professional athlete,' Kelce added, before acknowledging the almost mythical nature of Sanders' dual-sport legacy.

'No f—ing chance. No shot.
The story about him playing in both — he had to helicopter from one in the same day… it was crazy.'
Travis Kelce Talks NFL Retirement, Chiefs Super Bowl Loss + Bussin' With The Boys Meets Taylor Swift
Sanders, who is now the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, is widely celebrated as one of the greatest athletes of all time. With a touchdown in the NFL and a home run in the MLB within the same week, his legacy as a two-sport icon is unmatched. He remains one of just seven players since 1970 to achieve this feat, alongside the legendary Bo Jackson.
While Kelce's choice makes sense for sports fans, it was hard not to notice the absence of Swift from the conversation. Her name has come up frequently on New Heights, but a guest spot has yet to materialize, despite the show's booming success partially fueled by Kelce's relationship with the pop superstar.
Off the field, Kelce has become a household name, not just for his football accolades but also for his media presence.
Despite enduring his worst season statistically since his rookie year, the Kansas City Chiefs star remains committed to the game. He chose to return for a 13th NFL season, even after contemplating retirement following a Super Bowl loss.
With New Heights hosting megastars like LeBron James and Ben Stiller, Kelce's guest list ambitions remain high. But for now, fans may need to accept that a Swift episode is still a distant dream — especially with Coach Prime topping Kelce's wish list.

Travis Kelce can't stop smiling while talking about Taylor Swift's surprise TEU performance on New Heights
Travis Kelce gushes over Taylor Swift's surprise TEU appearance in viral New Heights episode. (Image via Getty) Taylor Swift didn't just show up at Tight End University, she took the mic and stole the moment. And now, on the latest episode of New Heights , Travis Kelce is opening up about that surprise performance in the most boyfriend-coded way possible. 'She went out there without practicing,' Travis said with a proud grin. 'It was pitch perfect, and she just killed it.' That's it. That's the post. Travis Kelce, tight end and certified Swiftie, continues to be Taylor's biggest fan. Taylor Swift shocked everyone with her performance at Tight End University and Travis Kelce is still in awe Let's rewind real quick. Last week, at Travis's Tight End University event in Nashville, Taylor Swift made an unannounced appearance and casually performed 'Mean' with country star Kane Brown . No backup dancers, no pop star dramatics, just her, a guitar, and that unmistakable voice. And apparently, she didn't even rehearse. On New Heights , Travis admitted she just walked on stage and delivered a flawless set without so much as a sound check. 'It was pitch perfect,' he repeated. The kind of casual flex only Taylor Swift can pull off. Travis's expression during the story? Straight-up boyfriend goals. Fans didn't just hear the words, they saw the look. In the split-screen clip now going viral, Travis can be seen smiling from ear to ear while talking about Taylor's performance. Calm, proud, and just a little stunned that she pulled it off so effortlessly. 'She just killed it,' he repeated, clearly still processing it. It's not the first time he's talked about Taylor on the pod, but this one hit different, no teasing, no jokes, just real admiration. Swifties are calling it one of their favorite Tayvis moments yet. Taylor didn't perform for promo or headlines. She did it to support Travis at his event and the energy was relaxed, real, and totally fan-first. Everyone at TEU got a once-in-a-lifetime moment, but it's clear this was special for the two of them. It was a 'just show up and vibe' kind of performance, and that's what made it so iconic. No pressure, just presence. Taylor Swift has headlined stadiums, but something about this little moment, a borrowed stage, a country duet, a surprise appearance felt more intimate. And Travis Kelce's reaction on New Heights ? That sealed it. She killed it, sure. But what fans really loved was seeing how much he loved watching her shine.

Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift Seek Attention With Dates? NFL Star Reacts to Paparazzi Frenzy: ‘It Gets Thrown Out…'
NFL star Travis Kelce has spoken up about his highly public relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift. The Kansas City Chiefs' tight end made it clear that they are not putting on a show for the cameras. Instead, they're simply living their lives and having fun. Speaking on the Bussin' With The Boys podcast, Kelce addressed people who think he and Swift are looking for attention. "We're having fun with it," he said.

Kelce acknowledged that being in the spotlight comes with dating one of the world's biggest stars and said the attention is expected. However, he shared that the constant presence of cameras still surprises him. He told podcast co-host Will Compton that the paparazzi were probably the only thing he didn't fully grasp until he experienced it himself. "That's probably the craziest part, though." The NFL star shared a moment that shows just how intrusive things can get. "Like I'm just playing golf and all of a sudden in the trees, there's a f------ guy with a camera," Kelce joked. He added that he can't even take a break in peace on the course. "Just don't want my meat on Page Six, know what I mean?" A weekend in New York City Over the weekend, Kelce and Swift were spotted together again. On Saturday, June 28, they were seen walking hand in hand at San Vicente West Village in New York City, as reported by PEOPLE. Kelce kept it casual in a white short-sleeve dress shirt and black pants. Swift wore a pink and white houndstooth Balmain dress with tan accessories. Their night out came just days after Swift performed at Kelce's Tight Ends & Friends concert in Nashville on June 24. The concert was part of Tight End University, the annual three-day event hosted by Kelce, George Kittle, and Greg Olsen. When the NFL shared pictures of Swift's surprise appearance on Instagram, Kelce didn't hold back. "Turn me up Tay Tay!!" he wrote in the comments. For Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, it's clear the focus is on each other, not the cameras. They're making memories, enjoying each other's worlds, and brushing off the noise.

Antonio Brown mocks Cam Newton after Instagram influencer's pic goes viral (Getty Images) Antonio Brown recently pestered Cam Newton on social media, deceitfully relating him to a viral influencer photo. This comes amidst a warrant for Brown's arrest in Miami-Dade County for an apparent May shooting incident. Separately, Newton defended rookie Shilo Sanders after Brown posted an old training video supposedly to humiliate him. Antonio Brown humiliates Cam Newton with savage post Antonio Brown, notorious for his online antics, recently embroiled Cam Newton in a strange social media episode. The former NFL wideout posted a popular image of influencer Manny MUA's backside, then audaciously declared, "That's cam newton.' This latest online antics surface while Brown is actively wanted by law enforcement in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Reports indicate a warrant for his seizure was issued on June 15, following testimonies of his involvement in a shooting outside an amateur boxing event in May. As of July 1, he had not yet presented himself to authorities. — AB84 (@AB84) Adding to the unfolding drama, Brown previously swirled controversy by uploading footage from an old training session emphasizing Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie safety Shilo Sanders. The video appeared to depict Brown dominating Sanders in route running drills, seemingly an attempt to minimize the young player's capabilities. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Birla Evara 3 and 4 BHK from ₹ 1.75 Crore* Birla Estates Learn More Undo However, Cam Newton rushed in to support Sanders. Speaking on his "4th and 1 Show," Newton conveyed that Sanders is currently attempting to establish himself in the NFL and that Brown's public critique, especially using an old video, was unwarranted. Newton further clarified that the training footage dates back to when Sanders was still in high school, a stark contrast to Brown's status as a top-tier NFL player at that time. Newton enhanced the innate unfairness of the situation, articulating, 'In defense of Shilo, he's trying to carve out a place on the team." He continued, underscoring the age difference, 'He was a youngin', And you're talking about A.B. in his prime going against a teenager? That's not a fair matchup." Shilo Sanders, despite going undrafted in the 2025 NFL draft, ensured a free agent contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, incidentally Brown's former team.
