Taylor Swift To Announce 12th Album On Travis Kelce's Podcast? NFL Star Drives Swifties Wild
Swifties go into overdrive as Travis Kelce's podcast teases a 'special guest' and Taylor Nation drops 12 cryptic orange photos, hinting at her 12th album reveal.
Taylor Swift fans are in full detective mode after Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce hinted at a 'VERY special guest" for their New Heights podcast. The announcement, paired with Taylor Nation's mysterious post of 12 orange-themed images just minutes later, has set social media ablaze with speculation about Swift's highly anticipated 12th studio album.
The timing has only fuelled the excitement. The teased episode drops Wednesday, August 13 — Taylor's favourite number — with the social media clues landing on August 12. Many fans believe this could be the perfect setup for a major reveal.
The Clues That Have Swifties Buzzing
In the teaser shared on X, Travis, 35, is seen grinning at a blacked-out silhouette, while Jason, 37, sports a navy blue Eras Tour shirt. Fans immediately dissected every detail — from Travis' expression to the sparkly orange backdrop — connecting the imagery to Swift's branding.

One user posted: 'YALL WEARING TAYLOR SHIRTS. The background is sparkly orange. Oh my god." Another added: 'The Midnights shirt…the look on Travis' face…the silhouette…IM NOT CLOWNING YOURE CLOWNING."
Swift, who has been dating Travis since 2023, has never appeared on the Kelce brothers' show but has been mentioned frequently. In September 2023, just after she attended her first Chiefs game, Travis praised her 'ballsy" move, saying everyone in the suite had only glowing things to say.
What Taylor Swift Fans Can Expect on August 13
The New Heights episode airs at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday. While some fans are convinced Swift will join the Kelces on-air, others think the buzz could be leading to a surprise album drop or announcement.
Swift has spent much of the NFL offseason with Travis, who is preparing for his 13th season with the Kansas City Chiefs. Last season, she was a frequent presence at games, including the Chiefs' overtime Super Bowl win against the 49ers in February 2024.
Whether it's an album announcement, an on-air appearance, or just a clever tease, Swifties are counting down the hours — and reading into every pixel and post.

Travis Kelce Comes Out Clean on His Parents' ‘Faded' Marriage Ahead of His Rumored Nuptial With Taylor Swift
Travis Kelce opens up about parents divorce: Image via X Travis Kelce has had a lot in his life, but he doesn't trade truth for anything. The 35-year-old actor-athlete had an affluent childhood in terms of getting all of his needs met but he didn't really see a love story growing in their home. He knew about romance, reading novels, and watching romcom movies in his adolescence. It's not just Travis; many kids out there could relate to the Chiefs TE who doesn't ever see his parents holding hands softly or sharing a warm hug after a hectic work day. Yes, it might seem a very pseudo grief, but ask those kids who lived a cold, faded marriage! Travis Kelce shares the most underrated pain of his childhood No, Travis doesn't blame his parents, Donna and Ed, at all. When he was a student athlete at the University of Cincinnati, his parents gave up on their rotten marriage and filed a divorce after 28 years of togetherness. They separated gently. No bad blood at all! In a candid interview for the GQ cover story, the multi-time Super Bowl winner recalled, 'There was no division in terms of anger at each other. I think the romance of it all might've just kind of faded, being so focused on their careers and raising a family. It's probably hard for parents to keep that romance, especially when you've got kids that are into fucking everything, you know?' Travis put the truth out flat, straight, without any slight touch of huff. But come on, the unsaid trauma was written all over his face and voice, and it's not rocket science to decipher. 'I never saw the romance of it all. A lot of friends I grew up with shared that. The handful of my friends whose parents are still together and still thriving,' the 6 ft 5 star admitted, 'those are situations I would love to have.' Little Travis still held onto the silent pain of discovering the real state of his parents' marriage on one of their wedding anniversaries. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 22 Illustrations of a Husband and Wife in Everyday Life Watch More Undo He was curious to know what special they were going to do, unless and until the naive heart was forced to accept that it was just ''another day of knocking out things for the kids' for his parents. Speaking of love and marriage, Travis is now deeply, madly in love with his fiancée, Taylor Swift and faces the world as one of the most sensational couples on the internet. They are rumored to tie the knot pretty soon , and it's crucial to fix his views regarding marriage and family before that. Travis Kelce wants to break the pattern in his family Sure, Travis didn't see his parents writing love notes for each other or sharing quality time together. But he won't let his kids undergo the same experience. He will break the cycle and form a union that is far beyond the daily chores and the shared kids' management task. He has dated the Grammy-winning singer for a couple of years now, and not for a single day, the netizens find them dull on the screen. Be it Taylor rooting for his boy in the Chiefs' game or Travis fanboying in the front row of a global musical tour of his girl, the duo never fails to give the fans a serious couple goal. Yes, it's too early to predict their future as husband and wife. But as Travis says, he already pictures an ideal parenthood for them. How is it?

Travis Kelce Opens Up About His Love Story With Taylor Swift: 'It Was So Organic'
Travis Kelce says his relationship with Taylor Swift 'happened very organically' despite the intense media attention since 2023. Travis Kelce is opening up about his whirlwind romance with Taylor Swift and insists that despite the headlines, their relationship grew naturally. In his GQ September 2025 cover story, the Kansas City Chiefs star reflected on their journey since they first connected in 2023. 'Whenever I'm with her, it feels like we're just regular people," Kelce shared. '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… it still happened very organically." From Friendship Bracelet to Full-Blown Romance Kelce, 35, first expressed interest in meeting Swift during her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City in summer 2023. His playful plan involved gifting her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it. That September, Swift made her debut at a Chiefs game, sparking a cultural frenzy that saw 'the dads, Brads and Chads" suddenly paying attention to the NFL star's love life. The couple's bond only grew stronger. Kelce joined Swift on her Eras Tour during the 2024 offseason, even stepping on stage in Europe, while Swift reciprocated by attending Chiefs games — including their Super Bowl 2025 appearance against the Eagles. Why Kelce Calls It 'So Organic' Despite the public fascination, Kelce maintains that their romance unfolded naturally. 'Nothing I've ever done has been a controlled, organised process," he said. 'When I say it was so organic, we 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 just kind of took the f–k off." Swift, also 35, spent much of the NFL offseason with Kelce before gearing up for her next album, The Life of a Showgirl. She even appeared on Kelce's New Heights podcast to tease the project, bringing her trademark charm to their playful banter. As Kelce prepares for his 13th NFL season, the couple continues to navigate fame with ease — blending touchdown celebrations with chart-topping success, proving that even the most high-profile love stories can have humble beginnings.
