Taylor Swift's cheeky jab to critics in new interview alongside boyfriend Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift has taken a cheeky swipe at her critics just one day after the announcement of her twelfth studio album sent fans into meltdown. In a brief new promo for her highly-anticipated appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast, New Heights – which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason – Swift referenced backlash over all the attention her presence at his NFL games had attracted throughout their relationship. 'Thanks for having me on my favourite podcast,' Swift, 35, told the siblings. She then joked: 'As we all know, you guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast, and I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens … it's more of me.' Earlier, Jason had provided a breathless, enthusiastic introduction for Swift, describing her as 'the most-awarded artist in the history of the American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and iHeart Radio Music Awards', pointing out she'd won 14 Grammys. 'She is the only artist in the history to an album of the year. Last December, she wrapped up the Eras Tour, which spanned 149 shows across 51 cities, five continents. It was the most-attended tour of all time. Of all time! ' … Are you ready for it? Making your podcast debut, the most expensive guest in the history of shows – Taylor Swift!' The singer was seen stifling giggles throughout the monologue, telling him at the end: 'That intro Jason, oh my God … His soul has left his body. That was so good, that was so sweet.' The latest promo comes after Swift once again sent fans into a frenzy, re-emerging after months under the radar to reveal she's about to release her twelfth studio album: The Life of a Showgirl. The singer popped up in the first teaser for her boyfriend's podcast, in which the couple appeared alongside each other and engaged in some flirty banter about how well they 'match' before dropping the big news. 'So I wanted to show you something … This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl,' Swift said as she held up the album, with Kelce adding, 'TS12!' The full podcast episode will drop early Thursday morning, Australian time. On Tuesday, Kelce also offered a rare glimpse into his romance with Swift, telling GQ magazine about how they fell in love. 'Whenever I'm with her, it feels like we're just regular people,' Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, explained. 'When there is not a camera on us, we're just two people that are in love. 'It can be perceived as something else because of how much it is talked about, and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out. 'But I would say that it's as normal of … it happened very organically, even though from a media standpoint it was being tracked. It still happened very organically.' Kelce added that he and Swift, both 35, 'fell in love just based off the people we were sitting in a room together with.' 'We are two fun-loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are. We share all those values. It kind of just took the f**k off.' The pair first unveiled their romance in September 2023 when Swift was spotted cheering her three-time Super Bowl-winning boyfriend on during a home game. Kelce and Swift went on to make several loved-up public appearances over the months that followed, with the athlete even popping up on stage in a cameo during his girlfriend's sold-out Eras Tour last year. According to Kelce, their mutual support and respect for each other's work has brought them even closer together. 'I hadn't experienced somebody in the same shoes as me, having a partner who understands the scrutiny, understands the ups and downs of being in front of millions,' he explained to GQ. 'That was very relatable, seeing how exhausted she would get after shows. She may not think of herself as an athlete. She will never tell anyone that she is an athlete. But I've seen what she goes through.

Zoe Kravitz's mum Lisa Bonet ‘destroyed' part of Taylor Swift's home after losing her pet snake
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. Zoë Kravitz has revealed that she stayed at Taylor Swift's sprawling Beverly Hills home as the deadly wildfires ravaged through California earlier this year. During an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Tuesday, Kravitz said that the 14-time Grammy winner opened up her lavish $US25 million ($38.1m) Beverly Hills mansion to her and her famous mum, Lisa Bonet. 'We ended up having to stay there for about two weeks,' the High Fidelity actor said, adding that they were joined by her mum's pet snake, Orpheus. 'And Taylor has this beautiful house. It's from the '30s, something you want to preserve and take care of.' Zoe Kravitz has revealed her mother once 'destroyed' part of Taylor Swift's home. MORE: Swift's neighbours lose it over 'Taylor Tax' The actor said that while she tries to be a 'good houseguest' who leaves 'places better than I found them', she did end up accidentally 'destroying' a part of the Cruel Summer singer's pricey abode. As the mother-daughter duo was cleaning before leaving the home at the end of their stay, the Batman actor received a call from Bonet, who was also inside the property. After looking for her for some time, Kravitz found Bonet 'crouched in the corner in this weird way' in the upstairs bathroom. 'And I'm like, 'What's going on dude?' And she's like, 'So I was washing my face and I had Orpheus and I just put her down for a second. Closed the door and she found this little hole in the corner',' she explained. The 36-year-old said that the room had a banquette built into the wall next to a small hole in the wall – in which the snake was trapped. The pair began their rescue mission as Bonet grabbed her snake's tail. However, the pressure of the situation caused them both to go into 'panic' mode, prompting the snake to slither further into the wall. Swift took in pals during the fires that raged in Los Angeles. Picture: Getty Eventually, Kravitz called Swift's house manager, who came equipped with a crowbar to 'tear apart the banquette'. 'We're ripping up the tile. We're scratching the walls,' she recalled. 'Completely destroyed Taylor's bathroom and there was just this moment where I was like, 'Either we destroy her bathroom or I have to tell her that there's a snake somewhere in her house'. 'I said to her house manager, 'Obviously, I'm gonna pay for everything to be fixed. Please just don't say anything until it's fixed'.' But when Kravitz had called Swift, her longtime friend of many years, to confess the situation, the Fortnight singer was already in the know. 'I remember calling her saying, 'Hey, I wanted to talk to you about something'. And she was like, 'Is it the fact that you almost lost a snake in my house and destroyed my bathroom?'' Kravitz quipped that the singer's next album would be titled 'Orpheus' — a wishful claim that was squashed this week after Swift unveiled the actual title for her upcoming 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl. Kravitz has been close pals with the Wildest Dreams singer for more than a decade, and has grown even closer in recent years. The pair were spotted grabbing dinner in NYC together on various occasions last year — not long after Kravitz's split from ex-fiance Channing Tatum.
