Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Rare Podcast Kiss Feels Straight Out of a Rom-Com
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce shared a rare kiss during the last seconds of her New Heights appearance.
The couple spoke about how they first connected, with both sharing romantic anecdotes about their initial meeting.
At one point, co-host Jason Kelce jokingly asked whether he should leave because he felt like a third wheel.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce revealed quite a bit about their relationship during Swift's two-hour appearance on New Heights yesterday. But one of their most heartwarming moments didn't involve words at all. At the end of the podcast, the pair kissed, marking a rare PDA moment. Co-host and third wheel Jason Kelce quipped, 'Oh my gosh, all right,' watching them.
The kiss came after the couple discussed how Travis's previous comments about Swift on New Heights led to their real-life romance. Back in 2023, Travis spoke about his failed attempt to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it during her Kansas City Eras Tour show.
'This kind of felt more like I was in an '80s John Hughes movie and he was just like standing outside of my window with a boombox, just being like, 'I want to date you,'' Swift began.
'I was like, if this guy isn't crazy, which is a big if, this is sort of what I've been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager,' she added.
Travis recalled being at the concert, saying, 'And I was sitting there at the Eras Tour, listening to every single one of the songs. Like she, I know what she wants me to do. I feel that that's what she wants me to do.'
Swift said that with his grad gesture, Travis proved he's 'the good kind of crazy. I knew that he wasn't crazy the first couple of times that we talked. I was just like, he's truly getting to know me in a way that's very natural, very pure, very normal. Also, just the way that he could make me laugh so immediately about normal things... Travis is like, he's just a vibe-booster in everyone's life that he's in. He's like a human exclamation point. He's like when you take a picture on your phone and you push the enhanced color button, that's like what you do to everyone's life. I've used so many more exclamation points now, but I think it was just like...you're so non-judgmental about people. And you were not judgmental about the fact that I knew nothing about the [football] world you were in.'
Travis later spoke about watching Swift onstage. 'I give the Eras Tour credit because if I would have never gone to that show and been mesmerized and just been captivated and then left with such a desire to want to meet you, I would have never went on here and told everybody how butthurt I was,' he told his girlfriend. 'I had never just been so engulfed in the curiosity of who you were.'
His brother, Jason, praised Swift for teaching Travis the word 'engulfed.'
Travis responded, 'She makes me so much better.'
Of meeting her, he told Swift, 'You see you on the stage and you see how crazy you can get an entire stadium going, and then I get you in a room and it's like I've known you forever. It was just the easiest conversation I ever had, and it was just so much fun that it just—it knocked my socks off.'
'Thank you. I felt the same exact way as you,' Swift admitted.
Travis stressed, 'I had never I had never experienced something so mesmerizing on stage and then so real and so beautiful in person.'
'Hey, that's wonderful,' Swift said.
Jason then asked, 'Should I leave?'
His brother replied, 'Yeah, I think so. Honestly, at this point, I think everyone should leave.'

Sydney Sweeney Parties Hard In Blue Jeans During Boozy Night Out As She Ignores AE Ad Backlash
Sydney Sweeney recently shared photos of herself and some friends partying in Florida, while rocking blue jeans. The "Euphoria" star recently came under fire after she featured in a commercial for denim brand American Eagle, which some critics slammed as racist. Many had demanded that she release a statement or an apology, but Sydney Sweeney has ignored her critics as she returned to Instagram to promote her film "Americana." Sydney Sweeney's Boozy Night Out With Pals Sweeney flaunted her love for denim as she enjoyed a boozy night out with some pals. The "White Lotus" actress took to her Instagram account to share photos from the fun experience, and she can be seen rocking a blue denim with a white cotton crop top that flashed her toned midriff, and white sneakers. The event seemingly took place at a crowded location, as fellow partygoers were spotted scattered around in the background. Sweeney held up a tray of shots to hand out to friends in one photo. She kept her blonde hair down and is also seen holding up a microphone with a girl pal on a stage for some karaoke. "Duval diaries," she captioned the photos. The Actress's AE Controversy Surrounding The Actress Sweeney's time out with friends comes some weeks after she faced backlash for her American Eagle "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans" commercial. In the ad, the 27-year-old actress made a "jeans/genes" pun, but critics argued that it supported eugenics and white supremacist rhetoric. A Salon report noted that the term "great genes" is "historically used to celebrate whiteness, thinness and attractiveness," seemingly making the commercial "a tone-deaf marketing move." Amid the backlash from several online, Sweeney has remained silence, seemingly opting to let the issue die down. The Brand Has Responded To The Sydney Sweeney Backlash Unlike Sweeney, American has since released a statement insisting that the "'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans." "Her jeans. Her story," they added. "We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone." After posting the ad on her Instagram last month, she seemingly went on a hiatus from posting amid the backlash. However, she returned 3 days ago and shared a series of pictures promoting her new film "Americana." "A few years ago, I filmed this little movie with some friends, and now you get to meet Penny Jo," she wrote in the caption. The Actress's Silence On The Ad Controversy May Be A Bad Idea In The Long Run, PR Expert Claims Although a poll showed that only 12% of Americans see the ad as controversial, crisis PR expert Eric Schiffer believes the situation bears some risk if the movie star continues to go silent about it. "Sydney's mute button is a toxic time‑bomb with some people on the left – every hour of hush hurls her wholesome brand deeper into racial quicksand," he told the Daily Mail. The CEO of Reputation Management Consultants warned that failing to speak out "will be seen as a brutal insult to many shoppers on the left." "Sydney's no‑comment stance will scream ruthless privilege to those offended, and critics feast on the void like vultures on a desert carcass," Schiffer continued. He, however, acknowledged how some conservatives may resonate well with her silence. "For conservatives, Sydney refusing to grovel denies the mob its delicious public‑shaming ritual and would be seen as a brutal power move," he said. "Because for conservatives, silence isn't weakness, it's an ironclad shield against manipulative narrative‑hijackers." Sydney Sweeney Remains Single After Split From Her Ex-Fiancé Sweeney became single again after her relationship with her fiancé, Jonathan Davino, came to an end. The pair first sparked romance rumors in 2018 before blossoming into a full relationship and even later getting engaged. However, the actress raised eyebrows earlier this year when she deleted a photo of them kissing on New Year's Eve. According to People Magazine, an insider claimed that the break-up happened after Sweeney came to realize she wasn't prepared to get married and "didn't feel right" about her connection with Davino. "She's exactly where she wants to be. Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Syd. She's all about working right now and very excited about all her projects," the source said. "What did make her overwhelmed, though, was her relationship and her wedding. She didn't feel right about it," the insider continued. The source added that Sweeney "is not ready to settle down" and that her relationship with Davino "only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off." Solve the daily Crossword

A Taylor Swift Super Bowl halftime show is gaining steam. In the days since the pop star joined boyfriend Travis Kelce's 'New Heights' podcast, the rumor mill has churned about a potential on-stage appearance at Levi's Stadium during the Big Game. And prediction markets have followed. Since Swift's podcast appearance, her odds of being the headline performer at Super Bowl 2026 have skyrocketed. 4 Taylor Swift performing on the Eras Tour. AP As recently as last Monday, Swift's chances to get the nod were just 6 percent at Kalshi, which was well behind Post Malone (19 percent) and Metallica (13 percent). Kalshi is a CFTC-licensed derivative market that allows betting on real-life events. Now, with her fans speculating that the 14-time Grammy award winner hinted toward a potential Super Bowl halftime appearance during her conversation with Kelce and his older brother, ex-Eagles star Jason Kelce, Swift is suddenly a massive favorite to get behind the mic in Santa Clara. 4 Kalshi is giving Taylor Swift a 59 percent chance to be the Super Bowl 60 halftime performer as of 12 p.m. ET on Saturday. Kalshi On Saturday afternoon, Kalshi is giving Swift a 59 percent chance to be the next halftime performer, with more than $272,000 wagered. On Friday night, she reached as high as 65 percent. Some of the so-called hints on the podcast seem far-fetched, but the Swifties are apparently convinced by how quickly Kalshi's odds shifted. Swift discussed her love of sourdough bread on the show with Kelce. The 49ers' mascot? Sourdough Sam. 4 Travis Kelce celebrated the Chiefs' Super Bowl berth with Taylor Swift in January 2024.

From Scholar to Slayer: Video Explores How Van Helsing Evolved Into Cinema's Ultimate Action Hero — GeekTyrant
Dr. Emily Zarka, host of PBS's Monstrum, recently explored the fascinating transformation of Abraham Van Helsing, a character who was introduced in Bram Stoker's Dracula as a measured, intellectual academic and ended up in movies as a crossbow-wielding, vampire-slaying action hero. In Stoker's 1897 novel, Van Helsing is a doctor and scientist, a man of reason who uses logic, knowledge, and medical expertise to confront the supernatural. There is nothing flashy about him. He's stoic, methodical, and deeply rooted in the traditions of Victorian scholarship. But as Dr. Zarka points out, Hollywood had other plans. 'How did Van Helsing go from academic in Dracula to action hero icon? This episode explores his evolution from Victorian scholar to monster-hunting legend, unpacking his role in the novel, pop culture legacy, and why he remains the ultimate supernatural slayer.' As films began adapting Dracula and other horror stories, the character was reimagined to suit new tastes. By the mid-20th century, audiences wanted spectacle and physical confrontation, not just scholarly debates about folklore and disease. The monster hunter archetype itself shifted in pop culture, fueled by pulp magazines, adventure serials, and the rise of blockbuster filmmaking. Zarka also examines the real-world history of monster hunters and how that profession's role in society changed. 'By the 20th century, traditional monster hunters largely faded into obscurity, replaced by explorers, scholars, scientists, hobbyists, and journalists chasing down stories of cryptids and unidentified aerial phenomena which newspapers printed stories of regularly.' By the time Van Helsing appeared in big-budget films like 2004's Van Helsing starring Hugh Jackman, he was less a reserved intellectual and more a supernatural action star, a character capable of leaping across rooftops, battling werewolves, and taking on an army of vampires. It's a far cry from the professor in Stoker's novel, but it's a transformation that speaks to the character's adaptability and enduring appeal. Whether he's a calm, pipe-smoking academic or a fearless, gadget-equipped hero, Van Helsing remains one of fiction's most enduring vampire hunters, a figure who bridges the gap between folklore's old-world wisdom and cinema's appetite for thrilling monster battles.
