Taylor Swift Drops Major Career News on Travis Kelce's podcast
Kansas City Chiefs star TE Travis Kelce has been all over the news for a while now, but his popularity reached new heights - no pun intended -- in the summer of 2023. That's when he became a global celebrity because of his relationship with Taylor Swift.
Fast forward to today, and the two are still going strong, up to the point where he had them as a guest in his 'New Heights' podcast with his brother Jason. Moreover, that's also why she didn't hesitate to share some massive news with them.
Taylor Swift announces 12th album on 'New Heights'
"So, I wanted to show you something," Taylor said. "This is my brand new album: The Life of a Showgirl."
The full show will air on Wednesday, and while it's highly unlikely that she'll share a preview of any of the songs, it will most definitely give the fans some major snippets of her relationship with Kelce and her career.
Travis Kelce says he's Taylor Swift's 'plus one'
Kelce is a future first-ballot Hall of Famer and one of the greatest tight ends of all time. However, outside of the football field, he's glad to be Swift's plus-one:
'I get to be the plus one," Kelce told GQ. "I get to go and be that fan. Because I am a fan. I'm a fan of music. I'm a fan of art. And it's so cool that I get to experience her being that plus one for me on the football field. I feel that same enjoyment every time she comes to my shows."
Kelce even made an appearance on stage in one of her shows during The Eras Tour, but other than that, he's gladly taken a step back to let her be the star of the show.
Travis Kelce says he's turned Taylor Swift into a football fan
Likewise, Swift has become a familiar face in Chiefs games, but it seems like she's becoming much more than just a spectator; she's become a football savant as well:
"I sort of made her a football fan. She is the most engulfed fan now. She knows what the injury reports look like. She understands what special situations are, third and short—all these things because she just naturally loves to hear about my job," Kelce revealed.
Some fans have questioned Kelce's commitment to the game since he started dating Taylor Swift, given that his numbers haven't been as impressive as in the past. Then again, we're talking about a veteran about to enter his 12th season, and it's not like he hasn't done more than enough in his career already.
Kelce and the Chiefs will look to bounce back after a heartbreaking Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, and with him turning 35 years old already, it wouldn't be shocking to see him walk away from the game after this season.
As sad as that may be for the fans, he's more than earned the right to ride into the sunset on his own terms.

Phillies' Aaron Nola allows six runs in 2 1/3 innings in his return from the injured list
WASHINGTON (AP) — Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola's first start after returning from the injured list didn't last long. The right-hander allowed six runs in 2 1/3 innings Sunday against the Washington Nationals, a start that ended when seven consecutive batters reached safely. Nola struck out four in his first major league outing since May 14. The former All-Star was one of the majors' most durable pitchers entering the season, making at least 32 starts and throwing at least 180 2/3 innings in each of the last six full seasons. But a sprained right ankle and fractured rib cost him three months this season. His return became even more significant Saturday when Philadelphia placed ace Zack Wheeler on the injured list with a blood clot in his right arm. Nola already was scheduled to start after making three minor league rehabilitation appearances, though the Phillies scrapped their plans to use a six-man rotation. Nola gave up Luis García Jr.'s leadoff single in the first inning, then appeared to settle in. He retired the next seven batters as Philadelphia built a 6-0 lead. The Nationals stitched together three consecutive singles in the third, the last by CJ Abrams to score a run. That led to a mound visit from pitching coach Caleb Cotham, but Nola then walked Paul DeJong before giving up Daylen Lile's two-run single and Dylan Crews' two-run double. José Tena followed with a tying double to end Nola's day. Nola allowed seven hits while throwing 53 pitches. His ERA rose to 6.92. In addition to Nola taking Wheeler's roster spot, the Phillies activated third baseman Alec Bohm from the injured list and optioned infielder Otto Kemp to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. To make room on the 40-man roster for Nola, Philadelphia released outfielder Cal Stevenson. ___ AP MLB:

Alabama RB Jam Miller to miss Crimson Tide's opener with upper-body injury, says head coach Kalen DeBoer
Alabama running back Jam Miller suffered an upper-body injury during Saturday's scrimmage and underwent a procedure for the issue, head coach Kalen DeBoer announced in a statement on Sunday. 'Jam Miller suffered an upper-body injury in Saturday's scrimmage and went in for a procedure on Saturday evening," DeBoer wrote. "Jam should recover fully with a timetable for his return yet to be determined.' The injury is expected to sideline Miller for the Crimson Tide's Aug.30 season opener at Florida State, ESPN's Mark Schlabach reports. Alabama hosts Louisiana-Monroe on Sept. 6 and Wisconsin on Sept. 13 before a bye week. The Tide will then open their SEC schedule on Sept. 27 at No. 5 Georgia. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Miller, 21, is the Tide's leading returning rusher as a senior, running for 668 yards and seven touchdowns on 145 carries last season. He also tallied 16 receptions for 155 yards and a score. With Miller sidelined, sophomore running backs Richard Young and Daniel Hill are expected to carry the rushing load. Young ran for 146 yards and 2 TDs on 27 carries last season, while Hill rushed for 61 yards and a TD on 21 attempts. Alabama also added transfer Dre Washington, who ran for 478 yards with 107 receiving yards for Louisiana in 2024. Freshmen AK Dear and Kevin Riley could also be in the mix. Last season's second-leading rusher among Alabama running backs, Justice Haynes with 448 yards and seven TDs, transferred to Michigan. Jalen Milroe led the Crimson Tide with 726 yards and 20 TDs, finished his eligibility and was a third-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks. Alabama is ranked No. 8 in the AP preseason college football Top 25, which was released last Monday. Last season, the Crimson Tide finished 9-4 in DeBoer's first season as head coach, succeeding the legendary Nick Saban.
