The biggest revelations from Taylor Swift's 2-hour podcast debut

Taylor Swift's two-hour podcast debut, on boyfriend Travis Kelce's 'New Heights,' was chock-full of sweet nothings and tales from the stars' love story as well as other peeks behind the curtain of the world's busiest showgirl. The highly anticipated episode of Kelce's podcast with big brother Jason dropped Wednesday evening and, as of Thursday morning, has been viewed over 9.5 million times. Here are the biggest revelations shared by the 35-year-old Grammy winner outside of announcing her 12th studio album, 'The Life of a Showgirl.' Easter eggs only ever nod to the professional. Swifties know all too well that the 'cardigan' crooner has a penchant for dispensing clues to fans through every available avenue — be it day-to-day fashion, lyrics and music video visuals. But, contrary to the hopes of Swift's ardent fans, she clarified that she'll only ever lay so-called Easter eggs to refer to music or other projects, never her personal life. She did confirm that the orange door she walked through on the last night of the Eras Tour was indeed a nod to the color scheme of 'The Life of a Showgirl.' Swift recorded her upcoming album between Eras Tour shows. Swift didn't come out of her hiatus to record her upcoming album. Rather, she reunited with 'Red' and '1989' collaborators Max Martin and Shellback in Sweden amid the European leg of the Eras Tour to do so. Swift confirmed that it was an 'electric' time in her life — probably as much to do with the record-breaking tour as her then-nascent relationship with Kelce — and the album reflects just that. Swift's parents are both recovering from surgery. Both Scott and Andrea Swift are nicely recovering from what Swift joked were 'upgrades' this summer. The pop star's father underwent a quintuple bypass and is sprightly as ever — even if he did spend crucial recovery hours FaceTiming friends instead of sleeping, per the doctor's orders — while her mom got a knee replacement and is similarly on the mend, though maybe with less zest. Swift and Kelce all but confirmed they live together, multiple times. Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 35, repeatedly referred to hearing each other from across the house or the other room, including when Swift finally regained the masters of her first six albums. She recalls the Super Bowl champ was playing video games when she called out for him, announced the happy news and collapsed into his arms. The battle for the masters was a family affair. Swift detailed the intricacies of trying to buy her masters, a years-long plight that used to be a daily 'intrusive thought.' Though not necessarily a priority for all artists, Swift said procuring full ownership has always been a goal of hers and now that she finally achieved that earlier this year — thanks to her mom and brother appealing to the venture capital firm, Shamrock — she's grateful every day. Swift lurks on sourdough bread blogs The pop superstar revealed that she has a new baking obsession about twice a year. Now in the thick of a devotion to sourdough bread, Swift confessed that she lurks on blogs devoted to it — one upside to the internet she'll concede while saying she largely stays off social media and never reads her DMs.

Taylor Swift's economic pull makes orange the new green for big brands

Taylor Swift's upcoming album release and her love of all things orange isn't lost on her fans - or brands that are seeking a ride on what has become an enormous economic tailwind. On Wednesday after Swift went on the 'New Heights' podcast co-hosted by her boyfriend and NFL football star Travis Kelce to announce the imminent release of her 12th studio album 'The Life of a Showgirl,' major companies went into marketing overdrive. The reason? Swift's ability to generate buzz and draw dollars. Swift's tour appearances have become economic events. The singer's Eras Tour two years ago was the first such tour to cross the billion-dollar mark, according to Pollstar's 2023 year-end charts. Cities and their surrounding areas registered a sizeable economic boost after Swift appeared, with thousands of fans making the pilgrimage and spending money at hotels, restaurants and elsewhere. Companies are no longer waiting to capitalize on Swift's gravitational pull and orange-themed memes from big brands began rolling out almost immediately. That is because Swift appeared onstage wearing orange numerous times towards the end of her Eras Tour and she discussed her feelings about the color on the Wednesday podcast. Numerous corporations, from United Airlines to Olive Garden, began posting orange hued memes on their own social media accounts soon after the new album was announced. Shake Shack, FedEx, Buffalo Wild Wings, Cinnabon, Walmart and Netflix did, too. Even X got in on the action, declaring that it had a new profile pic: a glittery orange X. The post hsa garnered 5.5 million views so far. Google is using its search engine to celebrate the October release of Swift's 'The Life of a Showgirl.' Users search for 'Taylor Swift,' are greeted with a stream of orange digital confetti, along with a flaming orange heart and the phrase, 'And, baby, that's show business for you.' Many, it seemed, saw value in tying their brand to Swift. Swift mentioned during the Wednesday podcast that she had Lasik eye surgery. The X account for wasted no time promoting the fortuitous namedrop. 'i got LASIK, i have incredible vision,' they posted, accompanied by a video of Swift giving a shout out to the procedure on the 'New Heights' podcast. 'TAYLOR SWIFT EVERYONE (red heart emoji). WE'VE PEEKED!!!!!!!!' The post currently has more than 389,000 views and 15,000 likes. Sign in to access your portfolio

Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce podcast draws staggering 10 million views — in 16 hours

'New Heights' has certainly lived up to its namesake. Sixteen hours since the release of the highly anticipated podcast episode with Taylor Swift, co-hosted by her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce, the YouTube installment currently holds 10 million views, and the numbers only continue to climb. Swift's appearance was originally teased Monday when the 'New Heights' X account posted a graphic outline of their surprise guest, who many speculated to be Swift. Advertisement 5 Taylor Swift's 'New Heights' podcast appearance has taken over the internet. YouTube @newheightshow Later that night, it was revealed to be the mega pop star, and in the early hours of Tuesday morning, the podcast's socials combined with Swift's 280 million Instagram followers to reveal that the 14-time Grammy winner would be on the show to announce her 12th album, 'The Life of a Showgirl', which drops Oct. 3. In less than 12 hours, the dual post alone hit 4.5 million likes and had an engagement rate of 145%, according to social media management platform Metricool. Advertisement In stark contrast, Metricool told Business Insider that a typical Instagram post averages an engagement rate between 0.5% and 0.69%, depending on the type of post, a reel, video, carousel post, etc. The podcast went on to break the internet, which Caitlin Clark anticipated hours before the release on Wednesday at 7 p.m., glitching one hour and 44 minutes into the episode to leave more than one million people confused. The show eventually returned at 12:37 a.m. ET on Aug. 14 with the help of YouTube, and the 'New Heights' X account shared the link to the show with the message, 'WE ARE BACK!!!!' Advertisement 5 Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift laughing on the 'New Heights podcast'. YouTube @newheightshow 5 Taylor Swift joins boyfriend Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce on 'New Heights.' YouTube @newheightshow In her podcast surprise, Swift gave fans insight into her new album and her relationship with Travis, who she has been dating since 2023. She touched on how she and Travis first met and her embarrassing first date question that left him speechless. Swift also revealed her first impression of Jason at the Chiefs-Bills game and her newfound obsession with football. Advertisement It's safe to say that the Taylor Swift effect has hit the 'New Heights' show, just as it did to the NFL the past two seasons. 5 Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce watch the match of Jannik Sinner and Taylor Fritz during their Men's Championship match at the 2024 US Open Championships played in the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center. Annie Wermiel/NY Post 5 Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, right, appears with singer Taylor Swift after the Chiefs victory over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game in Kansas City, Mo., on Jan. 26, 2025. AP She transformed Chiefs games into a spectacle with broadcast networks catching her on camera for viral moments, and ticket sales spiking for a chance to see her. During an Oct. 1 game between the Chiefs and Jets in 2023, NBC's Sunday Night Football clocked some 27 million viewers, which was a 22% increase from the Week 4 matchup in 2022. Swift also had a hand in a 400% increase in merchandise sales of her boyfriend's jersey at the start of the NFL season in 2023. The jump made Kelce a top-five selling jersey across the league.
