Fans Are Saying They've Never Seen Taylor Swift Be So "Open" And "Intimate" With A Partner Like She Is With Travis Kelce, And My Heart Might Truly Burst
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are making fans around the world blush after watching their new viral interview. After countless requests, Taylor finally appeared on her boyfriend's podcast, New Heights, alongside his cohost and brother, Jason Kelce. This marked Taylor's first-ever podcast appearance, and, boy, did she make a lasting impression on audiences. The multi-Grammy winner laughed, cried, and gushed while chatting about an array of topics like reclaiming the masters to her records, falling for Travis, life after the Eras tour, details about her 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl, the album artwork, baking, and so much more. It was a jam-packed conversation, which is why it lasted for more than two hours. Related: During the discussion, viewers couldn't help but notice how "comfortable and safe" the "Fortnight" singer appeared in the interview. They noted the vulnerability in her responses and the effortless way Travis and Taylor would flirt with each other. So much so, that at one point during the interview while they were discussing their relationship, Jason jokingly felt like he was intruding on something very intimate and asked, "Should I leave?" "This podcast has done a lot for me," Taylor exclaimed. "It got me a boyfriend. Ever since Travis decided to use it as his personal dating app about two years ago." If you didn't know, Travis attended Taylor's Kansas City Eras show in 2023, hoping to meet the star, but when he didn't, he publicly "threw a man tantrum" about it on his podcast as he bluntly admitted that he wants to date her. 'It was such a wild, romantic gesture to just be like: 'I wanna date you,'' she said. '[It] felt more like I was in an '80s John Hughes movie, and he was standing outside of my window with a boombox saying: 'I want to date you! Do you want to go on a date with me? I made you a friendship bracelet.' I was like: 'If this guy's not crazy, this is sort of what I've been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.'' Fans loved how open and transparent she was being, adding that they'd never seen Taylor like this before. Related: Here's what some people said online: "I don't think the Kelce brothers realize what a true gift this was for fans. I've never heard Taylor speak so openly and candidly for so long." —@chemistryflavored "This podcast made me realize I dont think ive ever heard taylor talk this much or in a natural setting ever." —@laurenbartley425 Related: "The best thing about this entire podcast isn't even the album announcement, it's just seeing Taylor so freaking happy and comfortable with some who clearly cares about her so much!" —@GOTGames "Full disclosure, I was a bit annoyed that this sports podcast was going to have a pop singer on it. I was going to skip it. I have NEVER been this engrossed in anything for 2 hours in my entire life. Friends, is it crazy for a 54-year-old dude to be googling, 'What is a Swiftie and how can I become one?' I laughed, I got angry (at her not owning her music), and I got choked up. Seeing two people genuinely in love (when all we heard all season is this relationship isn't real, it's a marketing scheme, etc., etc.) gave me a feeling I did not know I could have. I've always thought the Kelce brothers were just dudes with dope jobs. Like they would chug beers with you if you met them. They don't act like famous people. Taylor seems the same. This showed ALL of their human sides and I loved every minute of it!! I am now a Taylor Swift fan as well. Well done girl!!!" —@sdreed70 "The way Travis just SO intently listens to her when she —@samanthaclapp "Getting Taylor 'Professional Yapper' Swift on a podcast that won't have trick questions and with people she's comfortable with is what the fans needed." —@bananak1o "It feels like I'm not suppose to be hearing this conversation. It's so natural and so safe like we're all sitting in their kitchen listening to her talk. All 1.3 million of us." —@jrraiderscheer3760 Related: "We really owe a lot to Travis. We never get to see this side of Taylor. He's made her feel safe in a way that she can share this way." —@sarahgondos "As a die hard Taylor fan since 2008 I'm so shocked to see her like this. I honestly thought we'd never see her this candid and especially not with a boyfriend, talking so openly about their relationship. I'm in awe. But then this made it so clear that this is what she always wanted, she never wanted secrecy and crazy borderline obsession with privacy, she wanted this, she'd just never found a man that had loved her enough and loved her right. I'm so happy for her, words can't explain." —@isasch123 And with more than 30K comments on the video, the majority of them looked like these.

Caught between 'gentle' and 'FAFO'? Authoritative parenting is what actually works.
"Validating emotions doesn't mean letting your kid walk all over you." As parents, we're all just trying to figure out the best way to raise our kids, and there's no shortage of parenting styles that people swear by — from tough love to gentle parenting and everything in between. It can feel like you have to choose a side if you want to do things right: Should you be a permissive parent who is nurturing and sets few boundaries, or a strict parent with rigid rules that your kids must obey or else? But parenting doesn't have to be black or white. There's a sweet spot somewhere in between. In the 12th episode of their podcast, "After Bedtime With Big Little Feelings," Big Little Feelings founders Deena Margolin, a child therapist specializing in interpersonal neurobiology, and Kristin Gallant, a parenting coach with a background in maternal and child education, dive into what people often get wrong about popular parenting styles, and how a blend of both is best for raising confident, resilient and compassionate kids. In this edition of Yahoo's "" column, Margolin clears up some common misconceptions, including how some people confuse gentle with permissive parenting and how fear-based parenting falls short. Margolin also shares four practical tips parents can use to help them validate how their child is feeling while still firmly sticking to the boundaries they've set. If you're parenting in 2025 armed with a smartphone, you're probably caught between following two ideologies: on one side of the spectrum is gentle parenting, a child-led approach to attachment and discipline, and the other is FAFO (f*** around and find out) parenting, which is letting kids experience life and the natural consequences that arise. Search up parenting styles online, and you'll be inundated with videos saying that kids need tough discipline, followed by another one that says it's crucial to validate your child's every emotion. It's enough to make your head spin. Am I being too soft? Am I screwing them up? Do I need to be harder? What are we supposed to do? What kind of parent am I supposed to be? How do I raise a good, kind, resilient, strong kid? But here's the truth: Parenting isn't a tug-of-war between 'soft' and 'hard' — or at least it doesn't have to be. Decades of research show the extremes on both ends — permissive and authoritarian — don't work. The parenting style proven to raise the most resilient, empathetic and capable kids? It's one that blends warmth and structure. It's called authoritative parenting, and no, it's not 'weak.' In fact, it's the most powerful approach we have. Reframing some beliefs about parenting First, let's clear up some misconceptions about parenting styles: Gentle parenting isn't the same thing as permissive parenting. Validating emotions doesn't mean letting your kid walk all over you. Boundaries and warmth can — and must — coexist. Fear-based obedience isn't respect. When kids comply because they're scared, they're not learning self-control — they're learning survival. That's not resilience. Toughness comes from safety, not fear. The ability to take risks, bounce back and handle life's challenges grows from a secure, connected relationship — not from being yelled at or shamed. 4 practical tips parents can use today Here's how to bring warmth and structure into real-life parenting moments: Try the 'Connect Then Correct' formula: First, connect with your child by naming the emotion they're feeling ('I see you're frustrated we have to leave the park'). Then, hold the boundary ('It's time to go. I totally get why you feel mad, and I'll help you into the stroller.'). Swap threats for 'When/Then' statements: Instead of: 'If you don't put your shoes on, no TV tonight,' try 'When your shoes are on, then we can head to the park.' It keeps the tone firm but collaborative. This is a hack for when they're looking forward to doing something, which is a natural motivator. Keep boundaries short and predictable: Kids feel safest when the rules don't change based on your mood. Decide on key house rules, and remind them and enforce them consistently. Validate without giving in: You can address how your child is feeling while still firmly sticking with the limits you've set. For example: 'I get that you really want more screen time. It's hard when it's time to stop. The iPad is done for today; we'll have more tomorrow.' Solve the daily Crossword
