Jason Kelce's Taylor Swift intro will get you so pumped for 'New Heights'
Jason, dressed in a navy blue Eras Tour shirt that has Swift's face emblazoned on it, didn't disappoint for his introduction of the 14-time Grammy winner. Channeling his inner Chaucer (Paul Bettany) from A Knight's Tale, Jason rattled off Swift's laundry list of accomplishments for an impressive 65 seconds.
"Our guest today is a singer, songwriter and producer and director," Jason opened with before hilariously editing her hometown from the listed Nashville. "That's [expletive], she is from Reading, Pennsylvania," he corrected as Travis and Swift laughed. He went on to breathlessly list her singing accolades, even surprising Swift with her own streaming stats for her The Tortured Poets Department album.
After the intro, Swift thanked Jason for his efforts before getting in the most perfect dig as the Brads and Chads that might be upset she infiltrated their sacred football podcast space.
It was a perfect introduction by Jason, even if it wore him out.
The podcast drops at 7 PM ET. It's sure to be must-see.

Will Taylor Swift be at Travis Kelce's preseason game vs. Seahawks?
It's getting to be that time again. Travis Kelce continues to play NFL games in 2025, and his girlfriend Taylor Swift has had some time to cheer him on at Kansas City Chiefs games. She was there a few last season, including playoff games and -- of course -- the Super Bowl. MORE: Photos of Taylor Swift going through all the emotions for Chiefs-Texans So the question is: will she be there for the Chiefs' second preseason matchup on Friday between the Chiefs and the Seattle Seahawks? Given that it's a preseason game and that it's on the road -- remember, Swift didn't attend road games last season -- it's probably a no for this one, even though they were together for the epic New Heights podcast we all loved. But we'll see!

Country music superstar eager to perform for ‘rabid' fans at Mass. shows
After playing an acoustic tour last year, Lee Brice is looking to turn things up a notch when he plays for 'rabid' fans at several Massachusetts venues later this week. 'The country fans up there are so rabid. I love them. I mean they're crazy and so they always show up and they show up with bells on,' Brice told MassLive in a phone interview from his South Carolina farm home. 'We love playing up there.' The chart-topping, multi-platinum-selling country music sensation said his upcoming shows will be 'full on Lee Brice' as opposed to the intimate setting he created on his 'Me & My Guitar Tour' in 2024. 'This will be 'come out and kick the footlights out,'' Brice, a CMA and ACM award winner, said. The Grammy-nominated artist will play three shows in Bay State. Brice will play at South Shore Music Circus in Cohasset on Friday, Indian Ranch in Webster on Saturday and at Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis on Sunday. When he's not performing, Brice likes to spend some time eating at local seafood restaurants or hanging out by the lake at his friend's house in Lowell. 'We've been coming there for so long. We've been everywhere, man. You know if you want the best wings. He's like, well, 'we're gonna go over here if you want that, you know. But if you want some fish and chips, we're gonna go over here,'' Brice explained. 'So it's good stuff.' The shows will serve as a precursor to Brice's 'What You Know About Tour,' which starts Sept. 11 in Clearwater, Florida. The tour comes on the heels of Brice's latest singles — 'Cry' and 'Said No Country Boy Ever' — that both came out earlier in 2025. 'Said No Country Boy Ever,' a collaboration with The Traler Park, was released July 3 and is Brice's most recent song. Brice said the song came about during a separate writing session for another song. 'In the middle of the write, one of us just said, 'Said no country boy ever.' I said, 'Stop what we're writing now. This is what we're writing right now.' After writing the song, Brice called up his longtime friends who make up The Traler Park. They include Jamey Johnson, Jerrod Niemann, Randy Houser, Rob Hatch and Dallas Davidson. 'They've deemed this as The Traler Park, I guess, after all the years of us kind of raising hell,' Brice joked. 'We've done so much together over the years, but we've never all been on one song. And so I said, 'Boys, come on now. We need to all get on one song. Let's do it.' And so they were all in.' A mid-tempo country-rock track, 'Said No Country Boy Ever' lists everything that southern gentlemen could not live without from their mother's fried chicken to wide open pastures. However, the lyrics are presented ironically, as shown through the main chorus 'Said no country boy ever since we been around / Said no country boy ever since the beer's been iced down / I wish my baby's kisses didn't last so damn long (so damn long) / Said no country boy, country boy ever, yeah.' 'It kind of, really, became a cool thing, that song,' Brice said. 'We just love the song and I was just glad to have my boys on over me.' Brice, who has been making music since he was 10 years old, said writing and producing go 'hand-in-hand' for him — especially with a music career spanning roughly two decades. He joined a songwriting session at his home studio right after his MassLive interview. Brice expected to finish most of the track that same day. 'We'll record a lot of this song today,' the musician said. 'I'm kind of producing as I'm writing, even if it is just us and a guitar. But, it's nice to be in the studio to go ahead and get some of those parts out of your head while you're going.' Brice's songwriting chops have not only earned him more than 10 billion streams, they have also earned him a coveted spot at the Las Vegas Songwriters Festival. The country music superstar will participate in the four-day event at House of Blues Las Vegas inside Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino from Aug. 21-24. 'There's going to be so many songwriters that are a part of a lot of my songs through the years,' Brice explained. 'I'm thinking about just bringing them all up one by one and kind of have them be a part of whenever I play the song and they're playing it with me or singing a verse or whatever. So it's going to be a really interesting, cool, unique show.' Fans can expect to hear Brice perform hits from his catalog at the festival. Tickets starting at $69, can be purchased online. Meanwhile, tickets for the 'What You Know About Tour' are also on sale now. A full list of shows is below: Sept. 11 — The BayCare Sound in Clearwater, Florida Sept. 12 — War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Sept. 13 — The St. Augustine Amphitheater in Saint Augustine, Florida Sept. 18 — Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre in Youngstown, Ohio Sept. 19 — Meadow Brook Amphitheatre in Rochester Hills, Michigan Sept. 20 — Rosemont Theatre in Rosemont, Illinois Sept. 25 — Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park in Indianapolis, Indiana Sept. 26 — Vibrant Music Hall in Waukee, Iowa Sept. 27 — Scheels Arena in Fargo, North Dakota Oct. 16 — Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater in Bridgeport, Connecticut Oct. 17 — Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, New York Oct. 18 — Cross Insurance Arena in Portland, Maine Oct. 23 — EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, Virginia Oct. 24 — The Dome in Virginia Beach, Virginia Oct. 25 — Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh, North Carolina Brice, 46, is a chart-topping, multi-platinum-selling recording artist who has released five studio albums since his debut in 2010. The South Carolina native has earned eight No. 1 singles on the Billboard Country Airplay chart: 'Hard To Love,' 'Memory I Don't Mess With,' I Hope You're Happy Now,' Rumor,' 'I Don't Dance,' I Drive Your Truck,' 'A Woman Like You' and 'One Of Them Girls' — the latter which cracked the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2020.

Country music legend known as ‘Miss Country Soul' dies at 85
Country music star Jeannie Seely has died at the age of 85. The country legend, dubbed 'Miss Country Soul,' died Friday, Aug. 1, at Summit Medical Center in Hermitage, Tennessee, as a result of complications from an intestinal infection, according to People. Seely had been battling health issues in 2025. She revealed in May that she was recovering from 'multiple' back surgeries and two emergency abdominal surgeries. The artist also spent nearly two weeks in the ICU and battled pneumonia on top of it. Seely began performing on local radio at age 11. After high school, she worked as a stenographer until she moved to California in 1961, People reported. She worked at a bank, but feeling called to music, she got a job as a secretary at Imperial Records. Seely has since been a staple in country music since the 1960s. She is best known for her Grammy-winning 1966 hit 'Don't Touch Me.' Her other most successful songs include 'A Wanderin' Man,' 'I'll Love You More (Than You'll Need),' 'Can I Sleep in Your Arms' and 'Lucky Ladies.' Seely also famously collaborated with Jack Greene in the late 1960s, producing the hit single 'Wish I Didn't Have to Miss You.' Seely was the first woman to host the Grand Ole Opry and she's appeared on the program more times than any other performer over nearly 60 years.
