Where to watch and listen to the 'New Heights' podcast with Taylor Swift
Following a surprise album reveal that sent Swifties into an overnight frenzy, the songstress is getting into all things "The Life of a Showgirl" on an upcoming episode of "New Heights," a podcast hosted by NFL brothers Jason and Travis Kelce (who Swift is currently dating.)
A clip posted to social media shortly after midnight, 12:12 to be exact, on Aug. 12 teased Swift's appearance on the show.
"So I wanted to show you something ... " Swift says in the clip. "This is my brand new album 'The Life of a Showgirl.'"
Swift shows the eldest Kelce the cover art and reveals the name of her 12th album, which she retrieves from the inside of a mint green briefcase with an orange T.S. monogram.
While Swifties (and the world) await the exclusive, full-length interview with bated breath, the fanbase has taken to social media to decode Easter eggs, analyze color schemes and bask in collective excitement.
Even Google is getting in on the fun, displaying a confetti animation and a showgirl-themed lyric when anyone types "Taylor Swift" into the search engine.

Taylor Swift just launched fall's 'it' beauty color — and it's surprisingly wearable for women over 40
Yes, you can pull off orange makeup — shop our picks from Nars, Rare Beauty and more. At this point, it's fair to say that whenever Taylor Swift does something, the world takes note. Whether it's popularizing glitter freckles or convincing adult women to wear friendship bracelets, the singer is undoubtedly a major trendsetter in the beauty and fashion worlds. Her latest trick? Turning orange into the new black. After numerous orange-themed Easter eggs, unveiling the orange-and-mint green cover of her forthcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl and wearing a pumpkin-pie-hued lipstick on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast, New Heights, Swift is turning orange into hottest color of the year. Which makes it the perfect time to experiment with adding the shade in your makeup routine! Aside from Swift's leanings toward the hue, as a beauty editor who tracks trends, I'd say orange makeup couldn't come at a more perfect time. Yes, we're still in the woes and throes of summer, but fall is right around the corner and orange practically screams autumnal. Honestly, the thought of wearing a blush or lip oil the color of a glorious California sunset would definitely keep my serotonin pumping throughout the rest of the year. Plus, if you believe in color psychology, orange is typically associated with joy, optimism, energy and comfort. All nice things! According to Dougall Fraser's book, Your Life in Color, Confucianism "considered orange to be the color of metamorphosis and renewal." That lines up with what Swift said about her color choice on the podcast: 'It feels like energetically how my life has felt, and this album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during [The Eras Tour], which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant. 'Now, if you're thinking, 'Orange? That's a hard 'no' for me' I understand the hesitancy. Such a bright, bold color can run the risk of a clown-makeup territory. And, especially, if you're a "mature" woman, it might seem like a garish choice. However, orange can actually look ultra-sophisticated and pulling it off is much easier (and more flattering) than you'd think. It's really all about finding the right orange for you. If you're not into the idea of big, bold orange shades, the trick is to choose softer, more neutral hues, like cinnamon or terracotta. If you have cooler undertones to your skin, go for an orangey-pink, coral lipstick or blush. If you're more on the warm or neutral side, orangey-red lipsticks look fab. Deeper skin tones look stunning in the bolder, more vibrant orange shades while fairer skin tones work well with soft peach hues. According to Oscar and Emmy award-winning makeup artist Linda Dowds, "Orange can be one of those tricky colors, [but] for me, orange exudes confidence and strength — the right orange lip can rival any red!' You heard her! Let's open our minds and live a little! Here are my favorite fall makeup picks to try out the orange beauty trend. If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course.

Travis Kelce, those shirtless GQ photos and how masculinity is changing
Travis Kelce has been everywhere this week. On Aug 12, he was shirtless on the cover of GQ. In the photoshoot, Kelce presents a stereotypical (and exaggerated) embodiment of masculinity — he is dressed in full fur, construction vests and wrangles alligators. He's unflinching while wrapped in a snake. But in the interview, he also embraces vulnerability, grapples with self-doubt and talks about it openly – celebrating his superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift, in the process. The following day, Swift made her highly anticipated debut as a guest on Kelce's "New Heights" podcast, during which she announced her 12th studio album, 'The Life of a Showgirl.' Kelce said she's "the best songwriter in the world." Swift countered with "says my boyfriend,' but isn't that exactly how boyfriends should talk about their partners? His pride in talking about Swift along with his openness in his GQ interview sets a critical example for young men today. Mental health experts say it's crucial for boys and young men to understand the importance of showing emotion, which can contribute to building long-lasting relationships and overall mental wellness. 'It's breaking the masculine code, stepping out of the man box, and saying, 'Yeah, I'm vulnerable,'" said Ronald Levant, a professor emeritus of psychology at The University of Akron and co-author of 'The Problem with Men: Insights on Overcoming a Traumatic Childhood from a World-Renowned Psychologist." 'Black cat boyfriends' and a new dawn for emotional men We're living through the rise of the "black cat boyfriend" — an archetype of elusive, emotionally complex love interests in shows like "Too Much" (Felix), "The Summer I Turned Pretty" (Conrad) and "Ginny and Georgia" (Marcus). And while it seems like viewers are rooting for vulnerable men now more than ever, we've always had a soft spot for the complicated character with a good heart. Just look at Jess from 'Gilmore Girls" or Lucas from 'One Tree Hill." Celebrities are also having a moment when it comes to vulnerability. In January, a viral video of Bad Bunny crying after his song "DTMF" blew up on TikTok opened up a conversation around men and emotion. 'Bad Bunny signals to young men that it's not only acceptable, but also healthy to confront and express their feelings, which is something that men and young boys haven't been taught to do,' Sheldon Jacobs, a licensed therapist who serves on the National Alliance on Mental Illness Board of Directors, previously told USA TODAY. 'It's really pushing and challenging those cultural norms.' In Kelce's GQ interview, he said it is difficult to "block out" the increased media scrutiny. He admits that despite his inability to control what people say about him, it does affect him. "If someone says something that they don't like about you, you have to be able to understand how you are portraying yourself for them to say that," he says. "I'm a guy who doesn't want anyone to say anything negative about me. Some people don't give a (expletive). I'm someone who does care.' He wants to be someone young people can look up to, he told GQ: "I do want people to look at me like I'm doing good in the world, I'm influencing and using my platform for the better, being a role model, being somebody that has done it the right way." What's a 'black cat boyfriend' and why is everyone obsessed with them? Travis Kelce is Swift's biggest hypeman When Swift finally posted Kelce on her Instagram feed, Swifties celebrated. They've praised Kelce for "loving her out loud" — his joy over her accomplishments, and her happiness to have him by her side through them shines. "When we feel confident in our partner, it can feel great to show them off," Kimberly Vered Shashoua, a licensed clinical social worker, previously told USA TODAY. On "New Heights," Swift shared that she couldn't have been happier to be near Travis the moment she got her masters back. She ran into the next room sobbing to break the news, and even he shed a tear. "I started crying too, you know I'm a crier," he said. "You were weeping," Swift quipped. In the words of Swift herself: Kelce and Swift "show up for each other." "You want to keep things private, but at the same time... I'm not here to hide anything," Kelce said in June 2024. "That's my girl, that's my lady, I'm proud of that." Contributing: Rachel Hale, David Oliver
