Is Taylor Swift Joining Travis Kelce's Podcast? Fans Are Losing It Over These Clues
So many Swifties think the movie heavily inspired the album, and we broke down why people think this.
So you know how the colors for Swift's new era are orange and pink? Well, eagle-eyed users on X posted these photos of Anderson in an orange and pink getup for the movie, also in the exact shades as Swift's new era. They posted the photos with the caption reading, 'pamela anderson behind the scenes of the last showgirl (2024).'
People have also pointed out that the movie was released in the US on Swift's birthday, Dec 13.
And another piece of info people think shows the parallels is that insiders told The US Sun about her secret music video project she was doing in July 2025. They said, 'Full details have to be kept under wraps to not spoil any surprises, but the theme is very glam and vintage. Several stylists worked on the looks, and multiple backup dancers were involved who have worked with her for years.'
Vintage? Glam? It's sounding similar!

Trump will host Kennedy Center Honors in presidential first. Here's who's on the honorees list
Ten years after his career as a television star ended when he launched his first campaign for the presidency, President Donald Trump is returning to his presenter roots as host of this year's Kennedy Center Honors award ceremony this December. The president, who appointed himself head of the Kennedy Center shortly after taking office, made the announcement himself at a press conference to unveil this year's slate of honorees. He claimed the Kennedy Center board had requested that he serve as the emcee of this year's show, stepping into shoes once filled by the late CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite from 1981 to 2002, then by Ambassador Caroline Kennedy — the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, for whom the arts center is named — from 2003 to 2012. More recently, the award ceremony was hosted by Glenn Close, Stephen Colbert, Gloria Estefan, LL Cool J, and David Letterman. 'I think we're going to do very well, because we have some great honorees, some really great ones,' he said. Trump, most likely in jest, claimed he'd always wanted to be among those honored for lifelong contributions to American arts and culture but was 'never able to get one.' He initially claimed the center's board had selected 'a truly exceptional class of honorees.' But under questioning from reporters he admitted that he had signed off on the list and rejected multiple picks for honorees because they'd been 'too woke.' 'I would say I was about 98 percent involved ... they all went through me,' he said. 'I turned down plenty who were too woke.' He added that the annual event's roster is 'very different than it used to be' and is packed with 'great people.' Here's who is on the list. George Strait The first nominee announced by Trump is country music artist George Strait. The award-winning singer, songwriter and actor is one of the best-selling artists of all time, with 33 different albums certified as gold or platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The RIAA also ranks him as the 12th best selling recording artist in the United States with over 70 million records sold. Called the 'King of Country Music' by some critics and writers, Trump remarked that Strait was a 'good-looking guy' as his photograph was unveiled. 'Over an extraordinary four decade career, George has sold more than 120 million records worldwide, amassed 60 number one hits Wow, and produced 33 Platinum certified albums, more than any other living American. That is amazing,' Trump said. 'He's beloved by hundreds of millions of people all over the world. He's really something, and they call him the king of country, and we know him very well.'

Why Patrick Mahomes thinks Taylor Swift's new album will be 'amazing'
Everyone is excited for Taylor Swift's New Heights debut on Wednesday night, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Kansas City star -- and best friend and teammate of New Heights co-host Travis Kelce -- talked about the internet-breaking appearance during Chiefs training camp. Although Mahomes doesn't know anything more about the podcast than we do, even though he made sure to point out he knew before the general public. "They called me after the podcast was done," Mahomes told reporters before amending his statement slightly. "They didn't call me, they called Brittany [his wife]. I was like in the back of the FaceTime." Mahomes went on to heap praise on the 14-time Grammy winner, saying that her new album The Life Of A Showgirl is certain to be great just based on her work ethic. "Just knowing Taylor and seeing the process from just a little bit closer of how she makes the albums. It's going to be amazing because of how much work she puts into it." "What better place to announce it than New Heights podcast where I feel like she can be herself and showcase who she is," he said. "I haven't seen it yet, I've seen a little bit of the clips just like everybody else, but I'll be tuned in tonight." What time is the New Heights podcast with Taylor Swift? Jason and Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast with Taylor Swift airs Wednesday night at 7 PM ET on YouTube.
