Taylor Swift rips on male sports fans in New Heights podcast
In a short teaser for her much-anticipated debut on New Heights, the podcast hosted by her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother Jason, Swift took aim at those who have criticised her appearances at Kelce's NFL games.
'Thanks for having me on my favourite podcast,' the 35-year-old singer told the Kelce brothers.
She then added with a smirk: '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 in the promo, Jason delivered a lengthy and highly enthusiastic introduction for Swift, calling her 'the most-awarded artist in the history of the American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and iHeart Radio Music Awards,' while also noting her 14 Grammy wins.
'She is the only artist in the history to win album of the year four times. 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!
'Her last album, the Tortured Poet's Department set a record 1.76 billion streams globally within the first week alone.
'Are you ready for it? Making your podcast debut, the most expensive guest in the history of shows – Taylor Swift!'
Swift could be seen holding back laughter as he spoke, eventually saying: 'That intro, Jason, oh my God … His soul has left his body. That was so good, that was so sweet.'

George Michael would have approved of Taylor Swift tribute
George Michael's former partner believes the late singer would have been proud of Taylor Swift's upcoming tribute. The Bad Blood hitmaker announced her long-awaited new album, The Life of a Showgirl, earlier this week and among the tracks is a song called Father Figure, which will feature the melody from George's 1987 track of the same name. Kenny Goss - who was in a relationship with George from 1996 to 2009 - told TMZ the Careless Whisper singer would have totally approved of Taylor's song and while he never met the 35-year-old pop star before his death in 2016, the art dealer is pretty sure his former partner would have been a fan and appreciated someone of her standing taking an interest in his work. Kenny himself is a big fan of Taylor's music and though he had no idea she planned to interpolate Father Figure on her new album, it was a welcome surprise. Taylor announced The Life of a Showgirl earlier this week and has explained the prominent use of the colour orange in the artwork and promotional teasers for the record. During an appearance on the New Heights podcast with her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce, she said: "I've just always liked it ... It feels like energetically how my life has felt - and this album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during [The Eras Tour], which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant." The Karma singer also talked about the album's artwork, which shows her wearing a jewelled costume under the water in a bath and confessed the picture represents her at the end of a concert night because she always ends with a soak in the tub. She explained: "This represents the end of my night ... My show days are the same every single day, I just have a different city. And my day ends with me in a bathtub - not usually in a bedazzled dress ... [The album represents] the life beyond the show ... I would say it's everything that was going on behind the curtain." The Life of a Showgirl will be released on 3 October.
