Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift Have Endured Similar Physical ‘Torture'
When it comes to pushing their bodies to the limit, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift surprisingly have a lot in common. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and the global pop superstar recently revealed that their professions—though wildly different—both demand intense physical recovery that can border on torture. Travis Kelce talks about physical therapy after Eras tour During her debut interview on the New Heights podcast, Taylor Swift opened up about the grueling demands of her record-breaking Eras Tour. She compared her post-show recovery to Kelce's NFL season, saying, 'It was a lot of physical therapy, and it was a lot of being in a state of perpetual physical discomfort.' While she doesn't face 300-pound defenders on the field, she joked that her high heels are their own form of punishment. Kelce recalled being shocked when he saw Swift's hotel room recovery setup, complete with toe spacers and an acupuncture mat. 'The similarities were crazy,' he admitted. 'I was like, 'Oh my Gosh. She does more than I do.'' Swift explained that they often compare 'physical therapy stories,' and Kelce agreed, 'related on how much torture we've put our bodies through.' In the same conversation, Swift became visibly emotional while recounting how she finally acquired her master recordings. After years of failed attempts, she bought her entire music catalog outright from Shamrock Capital earlier this year. The moment was so overwhelming that she 'hit the floor' and cried when she got the call from her mom confirming the news. Later, she announced the release date of her upcoming new album titled The Life of a Showgirl. The album will be released on October 3, 2025. With that, coupled with workout war stories to personal moments, over a million people tuned in to YouTube, making it one of the most-watched episodes.

Taylor Swift Super Bowl Halftime Show Speculation Explained
With the announcement of her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, Taylor Swift has given people plenty to talk about. And amid all the exciting content, fans think she could be hinting at another big surprise to come… Whether fans of the sport like it or not, Taylor has developed a connection with the NFL in the past few years since she started dating Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. And now, people think the Grammy winner might be taking to the field herself to play the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2026 — a career milestone she has yet to add to her résumé. Last week, Taylor appeared on Travis and Jason Kelce's New Heights podcast and made a number of comments that could be hinting towards the halftime show — and it all starts with a conversation about sourdough. Taylor chatted about how baking sourdough bread has 'taken over [her] life in a huge way,' and said that she's talking about bread '60% of the time now.' 'It's become a huge, huge factor...I'm just, like, always baking bread and texting my friends and being like, 'Can I send you some bread? I need some feedback. Do you like this one better than you liked the other one? Like, I did the rise a little differently,'' she said. Now, a number of clues might suggest she's not actually talking about bread here, but something much bigger. For starters, Swifties have pointed out that the 2026 Super Bowl will be taking place at the San Francisco 49ers' Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara — and the team's mascot is a bearded gold miner by the name of Sourdough Sam. Not only that, Taylor's mention of the number 60 may have some significance, too, in light of the fact that this is the 60th Super Bowl. If that evidence wasn't compelling enough, Taylor also made an oddly specific reference to the number 47 when she thanked Jason for 'screaming for, like, 47 seconds' at the start of the episode. It has since been uncovered that Taylor's 47th stop on the Eras Tour in 2023 was at — you guessed it — Santa Clara's Levi's Stadium. On top of this, Levi's appears to be leaning into the speculation, too. Last week, the brand posted a TikTok showing someone swapping out the iconic red Levi's tag on a pair of jeans for an orange glittery tag. For context, orange glitter is part of the color theme for Taylor's Showgirl era, and Levi's captioned the post: 'subtle swap for the big day.' What 'big day' could that be, I wonder? So, we all know Taylor loves an Easter egg or two, and I'm not usually one to buy into the speculation, but I have to say, I think the sleuths might be onto something here. I mean, she announced her new album on a sports podcast and even made a pointed callout to bitter male football fans to make it clear she's not going anywhere anytime soon. Also, off the back of the Eras Tour success and the subsequent reclaiming of her masters, now feels like the perfect time for her to tick the Super Bowl Halftime Show off her to-do list. Besides, nothing says Showgirl like performing on one of the world's biggest stages. In the past few years, the halftime show headliner has been announced in September, so it's possible we may not have long to wait before we figure out if Taylor is really cooking up sourdough or maybe something bigger. In the meantime, our eyes will be peeled for more clues. Do you think a Taylor Super Bowl is on the cards next year? LMK in the comments.

Olivia Dunne following Taylor Swift guide to dating pro athlete
Taylor Swift appeared to have set the standard when it comes to dating professional athletes. Olivia Dunne, a national champion former gymnast at LSU, told Page Six in a recent interview that she's looking to the pop star when it comes to navigating that world. Dunne is in a relationship with Pittsburgh Pirates star Paul Skenes. But unlike Swift and Travis Kelce's start, Dunne and Skenes had some familiarity with each other as they both went to LSU. "(Taylor) has her boyfriend that's a professional athlete and my boyfriend is a professional athlete as well," she told the outlet. "And she has her own success and I have my own success, so I try to look at her perspective on things and how she handles criticism, how she navigates." Dunne said trying to date a pro athletes is its own beast because they're always traveling, among the other challenges that comes with it. In Swift's case, she's presently the most popular recording artist in the world but she did receive some boos from NFL fans at Super Bowl LIX this past February. "I think that she takes the heat a lot worse than I do, because, I mean, the bigger you are, the more people you have trying to tear you down," Dunne added to Page Six. "It just really resonated with me. It's a unique position to be in. And I think for some people, women in sports is uncomfortable for some reason." The dating life is far from the only thing that Dunne looks up to Swift for. She noted that the music icon seems to be dominating nearly every aspect of life at 35 years old. "I admire her in so many different ways. Her work ethic, how much she cares about what she puts out there and how the meaning behind everything is very admirable." Swift appeared on the "New Heights" podcast last week alongside Kelce. The two offered a glimpse into their relationship, which began in 2023.
