'Taylor's about to do a f*cking podcast!' the podcast captioned the episode's teaser on Instagram.
In the clip (below), a smiling Swift also tells Travis, 'Such a nice color on you.' The NFL star, who is seen wearing a blue shirt, responds, 'Yes, I know. It's the color of your eyes, sweetie. It's why we match so well.'
Kelce and Swift have been romantically linked since the late summer of 2023, with their relationship going public in September of that year. While fans don't know exactly how and when they got together, Swift previously confirmed that they started dating shortly after Kelce mentioned her on his New Heights podcast in July 2023. At the time, he talked about his failed attempt to give the singer a friendship bracelet with his number on it at her Kansas City Eras Tour stop.
Since then, the 'Fortnight' singer has regularly been seen attending the tight end's Kansas City Chiefs games during NFL seasons, cheering on her man from the stands with friends and family always nearby.
Kelce also popped up at Swift's Eras Tour shows throughout its nearly two-year run to support his girlfriend, singing along to her songs in the crowd, wearing friendship bracelets and all. During one of her shows in London in 2024, the football star even made a surprise appearance onstage during a performance of 'I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.'
After the Eras Tour wrapped in December 2024, the pair maintained a low profile as they continued to grow their connection, making occasional public appearances for date nights and events. Fans also waited for years for the couple to make their red carpet debut, and they finally did in June 2025, but in their own casual style, at the opening night ceremony for Kelce's Tight End University in Nashville.

Parents of 11 Reveal Shocking $1,200 Weekly Grocery Bill After Adopting 6 Kids (Exclusive)
Alicia and Josh Dougherty, known as the Dougherty Dozen online, are proud parents to 11 children, six of whom are adopted NEED TO KNOW Alicia Dougherty talks to PEOPLE about the rising costs of groceries as she and her husband raise 11 children Six of their children have Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) The family, known as the Dougherty Dozen, has adjusted to internet fame, rising costs and two of their children entering adulthood Groceries are expensive, even with just one mouth to feed, but Alicia and Josh Dougherty have 11 children to consider. The couple, known as the Dougherty Dozen online, share glimpses into what it takes to raise such a large family with their 12 million followers, giving insight into their spending habits, daily meals and unconventional but close-knit family dynamic. Alicia's grocery hauls often go viral, as she fills up to four shopping carts to feed the family for just one week. She exclusively tells PEOPLE that, nowadays, their monthly grocery bill can get up to almost $4,800. "The cost of groceries is increasing rapidly. During the pandemic-ish time, I was spending $500 to $750 a week, I would say," Alicia says. "And then the past year [since the election] has been rising. I am buying the exact same stuff, our menu does not change drastically, and now I'm spending about $1,000 to $1,200 a week." With so many growing kids under one roof, Alicia says she has to be mindful of spending and is always "watching" to see if she has to cut back on anything. "If my kids could, they would eat steak every single week," she jokes. "I bought a four-pack of ribeyes on Sunday for $101! I'm more mindful of, 'Okay, chicken is cheap. We're gonna have chicken more.' " Alicia says she used to go from store to store to find different brands and items that her kids liked, but eventually realized she was spending too much "time and energy" driving around. "To get it all at one store is easier for me," she notes, "but I will say, since the election, I am going to wholesale stores, probably double what I used to." With grocery costs rising, Alicia also worries about the recent cuts to Medicaid and how other foster children might bear the brunt. "Six of our kids have Medicaid. Thankfully, Josh has amazing health insurance that also covers them, but I have no idea what that would mean for the 400,000-plus children in the foster care system who rely on Medicaid," she says. Alicia and Josh have four biological children — Zoey, 13, Dashel, 11, Bodhi, 8, and Harlee, 6 — and adopted six children — Alex, 19, James, 18, Patrick, 16, Bree, 14, and 10-year-old twins Jordan and Jason. All of their adopted children have Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), a group of conditions that can occur in a person whose mother consumed alcohol during pregnancy. FASD can lead to physical problems, as well as learning and behavioral difficulties. In 2022, Alicia and Josh also welcomed 15-year-old Dayshawn into their family. Dayshawn's mother grew up with Alicia and the family now has permanent custody of the 11th grader. "His last name's not Dougherty yet, but he's a Dougherty," Alicia shares. Alicia says she and Josh don't see any more kids on their horizon as they navigate raising 11 kids while building and growing their social media presence, which she admits can make things "tricky." While Josh is a teacher, Alicia has been able to monetize their channels to help support her family and has turned social media into her full-time job, spending about 75 hours a week making content. While their content often reaches a supportive community, Alicia says not all of the attention has been good. She says the "backlash and hate from random strangers online" can be "very invasive and tough." She says there are people who often "bully and harass" her "under the guise of protecting kids from child exploitation." However, she notes that the people who make videos about her have "monetized" their own videos. At times, the backlash has become so intense that they have needed to hire security. Given the level of negative attention, Alicia says she is "constantly second-guessing" whether she should continue posting on social media. "I've taken the kids out of a lot of my content, and it's mostly just me now, me what I'm doing for my kids content, just to protect my kids," she shares. "I'm constantly like, 'Should I keep going with this?' And my main thing is I don't want the bullies to win. Yeah, I quit. The bullies won. They got me and my family suffering because of it, because then I gotta find another career," Alicia adds. "And what kind of career am I going to have to make this kind of money to support my family? So I'll just keep going and I just show up every day with a smile on my face and just keep going." Despite any online hate, Alicia is both enjoying and finding challenges in the "whole new world of parenting" adult children, especially when they are also dealing "with bipolar disorder and FAS." "Parenting adults is my hardest parenting adventure yet, because you can't really tell them. You can tell them, but they don't listen," she says, noting that she "can't force" them to take their medications or do other things. Alicia first spoke with PEOPLE back in 2020 and told the story of adopting her eldest son, Alex, who was just 4 years old when they welcomed him into their home. The couple worked tirelessly to support the then-preschooler, who flourished under their care. Caseworkers were so impressed with the couple's success that they continued sending them children facing similar struggles. "So many people gave up on these kids," Alicia told us at the time, "but they knew we wouldn't." Fast forward to now and Alicia says she's so "proud" of Alex, who decided by himself that going to college wasn't "the right path" and got a job working at a construction supply company instead. "He's doing great, he works full time and has a girlfriend and his own apartment," she shares. James, her second oldest, did a two-year program in culinary arts. "That was his dream," Alicia says. "And he's doing it." While things are going well for the family, there are still occasional behavioral issues and annoyances, but Alicia tries never to yell and keeps in mind what she was like as a kid. "I try and live a lot of 'Okay, I can't get mad because I did that as a kid.' You get irritated for a second, but it really doesn't matter," Alicia shares. "I still think the grand picture of it is that I went so long wanting to be a mom that now I just really am thankful to be a mom, and that stops me from getting irritated about mom stuff." Alicia is trying not to let the little things get to her, and she realizes all her children are in different stages of life and dealing with their own unique sets of challenges. "Probably every week when the house is a mess, and I'm like, 'Oh, my God, I can't stand the messes.' But then I'm like, 'You know what? Someday it's not going to be a mess, because they're not going to be here anymore.' " Despite having such a large family, Alicia says she and Josh still make time for one-on-one time with her kids, cherishing every minute amid the chaos.

‘Stranger Things' creators may be leaving Netflix
Netflix could soon lose the creative team behind one of its biggest hits. Earlier this week, Variety and other Hollywood publications reported that Matt and Ross Duffer, the brothers who created 'Stranger Things' (and wrote and directed many episodes), were in talks to sign an exclusive deal with Paramount (now under the ownership of David Ellison's Skydance). Then on Friday evening, Puck's Matthew Belloni posted that the Duffers had in fact 'made their choice' and were going to Paramount. The Duffer Brothers' ambition seems to have increased with each season of 'Stranger Things,' as episodes have grown longer, set pieces have become more spectacular, and the budget has grown accordingly, with a reported Season 4 cost of $30 million per episode. So it's not surprising that the Duffers are interested in making big-budget, tentpole movies next — an area where Netflix has struggled, in part due to its thorny relationship with the theatrical business, which co-CEO Ted Sarandos recently described as an 'outdated concept.' While Netflix does release some movies in theaters, it has resisted giving those releases a significant exclusive window before launching on streaming, which means Netflix movies usually aren't shown by the major chains. This was, apparently, a sticking point for 'Barbie' director Greta Gerwig, so the first of her 'Narnia' movies for Netflix will play exclusively on Imax screens for two weeks (or more) before going to streaming on Christmas Day 2026. And it seems this was also important to the Duffers, with Belloni reporting that the 'theatrical component' turned out to be the 'dealbreaker' in their negotiations. The brothers' absence will not be immediately noticeable on Netflix, which will be releasing the final season of 'Stranger Things' in three (!) parts later this year, and where the Duffers have two new shows scheduled to launch in 2026. Plus, the 'Stranger Things' empire is growing, with a prequel playing on Broadway, an animated series coming soon, and a live action spinoff reportedly in the works.
