Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift might have dropped a wedding hint in the easter eggs for her new album
Swift has placed several books about art behind her and Kelce for the announcement about her massively anticipated 12th album, 'The Life of a Showgirl'.
In the 20-second clip released overnight, books on Jean-Michel Basquiat, Ai Weiwei, Ellsworth Kelly and Mark Rothko are clearly visible, as well as another on the designer Ruth Asawa.
But a book behind Swift's left shoulder, on Casa Wabi, might be a particularly interesting clue for Swifties.
Casa Wabi is a nonprofit art foundation situated 20 minutes away from the Puerto Escondido on Mexico's breathtaking Pacific coast. It was founded by artist Bosco Sodi, designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando and maybe significantly, it is also used as a wedding venue.
The location is stunning, with a swimming pool facing out onto a breathtaking beach with the mountains looming in the other direction.

It doesn't advertize itself as a wedding venue but exceptions are known to be made and ceremonies have been hosted there before - including this year. Back in 2019, a wedding held at the venue even featured in Vogue.
There is an observatory on the property - also designed by Ando - which is used for wedding ceremonies. Primarily, guests are encouraged to use it as a space for meditation and reflection.
The Casa Wabi book, meanwhile, explains in depth to readers about how the foundation runs exhibitions for local artists in the Oaxaca community.
Precisely what the future holds for Swift and Kelce remains to be seen but in the coming weeks and months, their focus will be on getting back to business.
More details about Swift's new album will come on Wednesday night when her New Heights podcast appearance airs in full at 7pm Eastern Time.
Elsewhere in the preview clip, fans have spotted a number of different colored square objects in the background with 'T.S.' emblazoned across them, potentially referencing hugely anticiapted 'vault' releases to come.
It is not yet known if she plans to tour for her new release but it has been claimed before that she is planning on enjoying downtime while Kelce is focusing on football.
The 35-year-old's hugely successful Era's Tour did, at times, overlap with Kelce's commitments to the Chiefs

Taylor Swift obliterates Donald Trump and Joe Rogan's podcast ratings... but president could have the last laugh
The most anticipated sports podcast episode in history ended up giving the world's biggest pop star bragging rights over the President of the United States. Wednesday night saw a special release of the 'New Heights' podcast where co-host and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce brought on his pop superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Teasers leading up to the episode revealed that Swift would be unveiling the cover and release date for her highly-anticipated 12th album, 'The Life of a Showgirl'. Swifties flocked in droves to listen to the episode live - breaking the record for the most-watched live-streamed podcast in YouTube 's history at 1.3million viewers. It shattered the previous mark - held by 'The Joe Rogan Experience' when the eponymous host brought on then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The stream was so popular that Swifties e nded up crashing the YouTube stream at the 1 hour, 44 minute mark. 'Shoutout all the 92%ers and Swifties for actually helping us break the internet,' the New Heights X account said after the stream had concluded. Jason Kelce, the former Philadelphia Eagles center and co-host, referenced Swift's love of the number 13 by tweeting, '1.3million views is the epitome of numerology.' Not only that, but the New Heights YouTube channel saw a spike in subscriber numbers. The channel began at 2.85million subs before the episode began. At the time of publishing, the subscriber count sits at 2.97million. While it did break the live-viewership record, it still has some ways to go to catch up to the 24-hour viewer count that the Trump episode of Rogan had. In the first 24-hours of that episode, Rogan's channel had 26million views. At the time of publishing, the YouTube video of the New Heights show has 9.5million in the first 14 hours (with 6million views coming in the first five hours). But breaking one record held by Trump is sure to be a feather in Swift's cap after she endorsed Democrat nominee and former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. Trump has gone on the offensive against Swift in the past, calling her 'no longer hot' after the endorsement of Harris and mocking her for being booed at Super Bowl LIX. Not only does this two-hour conversation mark a major moment for the show, it also is a perfect full-circle moment for Travis and Taylor. Travis previously mentioned in July 2023 how he'd like to have Swift on the show and how he tried giving her a friendship bracelet at a concert in Kansas City, but that he wasn't able to meet her. Cut to now. Travis and Taylor have been the definitive storyline in the NFL over the last two years, with the sport seeing a massive spike in female audience in that time. On the episode, Swift mentioned how important that July 2023 episode was to their eventual meeting. 'This kind of felt more like I was in an '80s John Hughes movie,' Swift said. 'He was just like standing outside of my window with a boom box just being like, "I want to date you. Do you want to go on a date with me? I made you a friendship bracelet. Do you want to date me?"' She continued, 'This is sort of what I've been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.' Kelce added, 'And I was sitting there at the Eras tour listening to every single one of those songs, like, I know what she wants me to do!' He continued, 'I'm the luckiest man in the world,' while Swift said her man is 'a vibe booster in everyone's life that he's in. He's like a human exclamation point.' Swift's album announcement was the biggest draw for the show - with the 'Cruel Summer' singer confirming the October 3 release for 'The Life of a Showgirl'. She added that there will not be any extra songs on the album - which is being produced by Swedish hitmaker Max Martin and his collaborator Shellback. The pair helped make some of Swift's biggest hits - including 'Style', 'Shake It Off' and 'Blank Space' of her multi-Grammy winning 2014 album '1989'. Unlike previous albums, Swift said there would not be any hidden tracks for 'Showgirl'. However, fans are sure to be entertained - with the tracklist released and revealing that fellow pop star Sabrina Carpenter will feature on the title track.

Travis Kelce posed shirtless for GQ to clap back at body shamers
has graced the cover of GQ's September issue wearing a furry hood. And Law Roach, who styled the NFL star, said both and Travis stepped outside of their comfort zones for the shoot. Throughout the shoot, the Kansas City Chiefs star, 35, posed shirtless, wearing a construction vest, a cowboy hat, and sometimes, shoes. Law said the new look - rawer and more vulnerable - was done deliberately. He said: 'We wanted to make sure that the fashion could accentuate his physicality, not the other way around. 'Usually when you're dressing a model, or even someone who is average size, somebody who is not in the NFL, it's more about the fashion. 'But this time we had to go and reverse it and make it about the physicality and accentuating the physicality and making that just as important to the story.' Law took into consideration some of the recent body-shaming that Travis has received from the public. In December 2024, photos of Travis went viral, with fans pointing out his 'dad bod'. Even sports commentators drew attention to Travis's weight, questioning if this meant any hindrance to his career. Travis lost 25 pounds - but Law said that the GQ cover shoot was meant to be a response to haters who had body-shamed him. 'I think shooting him a little bit more raw and showing the body that he's in is almost like a f***-you to the critics, which I thought was really, really, really powerful,' he said. Law went on to say that Travis took the shoot in stride, getting in the water with alligators, hopping onto a fly board, and spending almost the entire day waist-deep in lake water. 'He was so fun. He was like, "I don't care. I'll do that,"' Law reflected. And while critics have stopped speaking about Travis's body, some were not impressed with the shoot. Many fans took to X to express their dislike of the styling and shoot altogether. 'Nobody wanna see this mess,' one X user said, while another shared: 'I'm sorry but these are awful.' 'Not trying to be a hater but I genuinely don't think I've ever been more turned off,' another said. Some even questioned the thought behind the shoot, hinting at it being reminiscent of a far-right aesthetic. 'I typically LOVE law roach's styling but this whole shoot feels in bad taste for the current political climate,' one user shared. 'I would love to know the creative brief for this and why they went with this concept.' It comes as Travis's girlfriend, Taylor Swift, had a laugh at the expense of his brother Jason during her appearance on their New Heights podcast on Wednesday. Nearly an hour into the podcast, the singer, 35, spoke about how Travis made his on-stage debut with her for her Eras Tour shows at London's iconic Wembley Stadium. 'Wasn't this the week that I got to watch Jason meet the Royal Family?' Taylor recalled, before she and Travis, 35, proceeded to poke fun at Jason, 37, for his neurotic concerns about his demeanor before meeting them. The hitmaker ended up immortalizing the performances with selfies featuring Prince William - who was celebrating his birthday at the concerts - and his son Prince George and daughter Princess Charlotte. 'I knew you were serious when I was like, "Jason, do you want to go meet [them]?"' she continued, and Travis chimed in to narrate his older brother's reaction. 'He was like, "What do I do with my beer?"' the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said. Taylor added: 'I watched him have this moment with his beer where he's just like, "But I want to take it. But I know that I probably should not take it". 'I watched this happen and it was kind of the most amazing [thing],' she said with a laugh. Jason confirmed that Taylor was 'exactly' right about his tortured mental process at the time. 'If I don't have my beer, what do I do with this hand now? Or am I just, like, being authentic by having the beer? I would normally have the beer. Wouldn't they want me to be myself?' Taylor continued as she mocked Jason's mental back-and-forth. 'I'm watching you say that in your head,' she clarified, adding that it was a 'fantastic' show for her. 'I'll always remember that.'

Chiefs fans fear the worst as Taylor Swift's New Heights episode causes YouTube to crash
After the highly anticipated Taylor Swift episode of Travis Kelce 's 'New Heights' podcast crashed YouTube after nearly two hours of livestreaming, Kansas City Chiefs fans are fearing the worst. The Chiefs' regular-season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers will be exclusively streamed on YouTube on Sept. 5. At it's climax, 1.3million people were concurrently tuned in for New Heights, with an NFL game without competition on opening weekend likely to draw more than 10 times that audience. Missing a second of NFL action would infuriate fans on both sides, and impartial supporters hoping to get a glimpse of two playoff teams from a season ago, with the Chiefs again among this year's Super Bowl favorites. '@YouTube YOU HAD 1 JOB TO DO. 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' one NFL fan said on social media. Daily Mail has reached out to YouTube's press representatives for comment on the website crashing and any possible fixes, without an immediate reply. YouTube has more than 120million daily users, making its website appear ready for that volume, until Wednesday. Outside of traditional cable, a few streaming streaming services have broadcast NFL games without any issues including Peacock, Prime Video, and Netflix. Getting a broadcast to pristine condition did not happen without a few kinks along the way for Netflix, as streams crashed for the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing event last November. YouTube has not spoken publicly about the issue but did hype up Swift's appearance on the show before it occurred. Should Chargers-Chiefs go without a crash, it could prove financially beneficial for YouTube when the NFL's next round of streaming-rights negotiations take place down the line. The Chiefs star welcomed his 14-time Grammy-winning girlfriend on the hit podcast he co-hosts with brother Jason Kelce to discuss their relationship and to unveil the cover of her 12th album, 'The Life of a Showgirl', which will be released October 3. Swift briefly broke down in tears as she opened up on her long battle to reclaim her masters. She also lifted the lid on her whirlwind romance with Kelce, her father's recent heart surgery and her epic Eras Tour. And the NFL star quickly went viral after showering his girlfriend in compliments and affection. 'I'm the luckiest man in the world,' Kelce said repeatedly. The couple finished the episode with a kiss, after he was also seen holding and stroking Swift's hand and even kissing her head - much to the anger of some of the 1.3million fans who tuned in for the live stream.
