How to watch Taylor Swift's first appearance on the Kelces' ‘New Heights' podcast
NEW YORK — Taylor Swift's latest era is almost upon us. The superstar isn't just releasing new music — she's appearing Wednesday on 'New Heights' for the first time.
Part of the rollout for Tuesday's announcement of 'The Life of a Showgirl' involved the popular, typically football-focused podcast hosted by Travis Kelce — Swift's boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs tight end — and his brother, Jason Kelce, the former Philadelphia Eagles center.
The show teased 'a special episode with a VERY special guest' on social media Monday, sharing an orange background and a mysterious silhouette that many believed to be Swift. It turned out to be true, the show's social media accounts confirmed later, at the same time Swift announced her 12th studio album.
Here's everything you need to know about Swift's episode.
How to watch — or listen to — Taylor Swift on the 'New Heights' podcast
Swift's episode of the 'New Heights' podcast will premiere at 7 p.m. Eastern. It will be available to stream in full on YouTube.
Fans who would prefer to listen to the show, instead, can do so via most podcast-streaming platforms: Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible, Spotify and Wondery, which produces the show, among them.
Episodes can run up to two hours. It is unclear how long Swift's episode will be or how long she will be present.
What we know about Taylor Swift's episode
Not a whole lot.
After the initial tease, the podcast shared a short video clip to its social media platforms early Tuesday. In it, Swift told the Kelce brothers she wanted to show them something, revealing a mint-green briefcase that featured her initials in orange. Jason Kelce asked what's in it, prompting her to pull out a vinyl record with a blurred cover.
'This is my brand new album, 'The Life of a Showgirl,'' she shared.
Soon afterward, the 'New Heights' podcast shared another clip featuring Swift to tease Wednesday's episode. In it, Swift complimented the color of Travis Kelce's sweatshirt, who responded, 'It's the color of your eyes, sweetie. It's why we match so well.'
Swift retorted, 'We're about to do a (expletive) podcast.'

If you want to keep up with those at the watercooler or on social media, read on to see what stories everyone was talking about this past week: TIFF reverses decision on Oct. 7 doc after backlash Joe Warmington pointed out the 'absurd and insulting censorship' of the documentary The Road Between Us at the Toronto International Film Festival after it was pulled from the schedule because the filmmakers used footage filmed by Hamas but — wait for it — didn't obtain the rights from the terrorist group for the clips. Well, the backlash came fast and furiously, and the film about the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel will be gracing festival screens after all — but only after the pulling of acclaimed director Barry Avrich's film made international headlines, including the front page of the New York Post and being discussed on Fox News.

'Given the sensitive and significant nature of the film's subject, I believe that it tells an important story and contributes to the rich tapestry of perspectives in our lineup — stories that resonate here at home and around the world.' Taylor Swift announced new album on Kelce brothers' podcast Taylor Swift was the special guest on boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce's New Heights podcast on Aug. 13 — after confirming on social media that she was in her showgirl era. The superstar made the big announcement of The Life of a Showgirl , her 12th studio album at exactly 12:12 a.m. on Aug. 12 but for all the details, Swifties and fans alike would have to tune in to the podcast. Crafty buggers. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. It's her first new record since her epic Eras Tour ended last December, and Swift has shared stunning images from the album on her socials, admitting the Kelces, 'We're going all out. This is a full send. I care about this record more than I can even overstate.' The Life of a Showgirl debuts Oct. 3 (but you can already get it in presales, if you follow Swift on social media). Air Canada's work stoppage More than 10,000 Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge flight attendants walked off the job as of 1 a.m. ET Saturday, which was followed by a company-imposed lockout after the airline and the workers' union were unable to reach a deal. Flights have already been cancelled in anticipation of the work stoppage with a full stoppage now in effect. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Air Canada said it would notify customers of cancellations through email and text message, adding it recommends against going to the airport unless they have a confirmed booking and their flight still shows as operating. RECOMMENDED VIDEO Buck Martinez's return to broadcast booth The Blue Jays are tops in the American League East and, as of press time, leading the AL. And with Buck Martinez back on the Sportsnet broadcast, they are the hottest ticket in town. A lot has happened in the last two-plus months that he was MIA, with the Jays being far from the team they were on May 28, when Martinez was last in the booth. But that journey pales in comparison to what Martinez has endured in that time after a diagnosis of lung cancer sidelined him. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. He's back now, and that voice is as comforting as ever alongside his long-time play-by-play partner, Dan Shulman. There's nothing like listening to Martinez talk baseball with such passion, and he had plenty of words of admiration for the Blue Jays and what manager John Schneider has done for the team. 'These guys, the way they are playing, this is how you play winning baseball. This is how you win championships.' From his lips … Read More Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska U.S. President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin kicked off their reunion with a warm handshake before getting to the business at hand: A summit to discuss Russia's war on Ukraine and relations between Moscow and Washington. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the previously planned one-on-one meeting between Trump and Putin is now a three-on-three meeting — but no, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was not in attendance of discussions he should totally be a part of, nor were any other European leaders invited to join in. Rather, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff made up Team U.S., while Putin had Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov by his side. 'HIGH STAKES!!!' Trump posted shortly on his Truth Social account before he boarded Air Force One for Alaska. No kidding. Toronto & GTA Sunshine Girls Toronto Blue Jays Canada Toronto Blue Jays

The Five: What's ahead in pop culture this week
1. FILM: Americana Article content From a controversial American Eagle ad to her new film Americana, Sydney Sweeney continues to make headlines. The actress stars in this crime thriller about strangers whose lives violently intersect when they fight over a valuable ghost shirt — a garment from the Ghost Dance religion that's believed to have spiritual powers. From writer-director Tony Tost, the neo-Western was filmed in 2022 and premièred at the South by Southwest festival in 2023. The cast also includes Paul Walter Hauser, Halsey, Eric Dane, Zahn McClarnon and Simon Rex. Article content Article content 2 .TV: Limitless: Live Better Now (Aug. 15, Disney+) Article content Chris Hemsworth is once again pushing his limits. The actor headlined the National Geographic series Limitless With Chris Hemsworth in 2022, and now he's back with ways to live a longer and better life. Limitless: Live Better Now follows him as he tackles challenges in the hopes of having a sharper mind and stronger body. His targets? Pain, fear and cognitive decline. In a trailer for the three-part show, Hemsworth scales a 600-foot (183-metre) climbing wall in the Swiss Alps, trains with the South Korean Special Forces, and plays the drums at an Ed Sheeran concert. The series was filmed in six countries over two years. Article content 3. MUSIC: The Cranberries Article content Can anyone listen to Zombie by The Cranberries and not be instantly transported to 1994? The song was a hit single on the group's second album, No Need to Argue, and a 30th anniversary deluxe edition of that album is coming out Aug. 15. It has remastered audio plus unreleased live music from Woodstock '94 and an unearthed demo of Zombie. No Need to Argue sold more than 17 million copies worldwide, and it won a 1996 Juno Award for international album of the year. The Irish alternative rock band was made up of Mike Hogan, Noel Hogan, Fergal Lawler and Dolores O'Riordan, who died in 2018. Article content 4. BOOK: I am Ozzy Article content After Ozzy Osbourne's death on July 22, at age 76, his 2010 memoir I am Ozzy skyrocketed in popularity — and it's been on the New York Times bestseller list for two weeks as of press time. The audiobook is currently No. 4 on Audible's charts. Co-written by Chris Ayres, I am Ozzy tracks the Black Sabbath frontman's life from his humble beginnings in England to his rise to fame with Black Sabbath. Osbourne's final memoir, Last Rites, will be available through Grand Central Publishing on Oct. 7. In it, he details experiencing 'near-total paralysis from the neck down' at age 69 as well as reflects on his marriage and Black Sabbath's final concert. Article content Second-hand — ain't it grand? A full 90 per cent of Canadians have shopped at a thrift store or donated to one, according to a 2024 report from Value Village. And thrifting will likely only get more popular. 'With more than 40 per cent of Gen Z thrifting, we expect momentum and trends in the industry to continue,' said Nicole McPherson, vice-president of Canada field operations for Value Village, in a statement. 'The change is driven by a number of factors including economic, environmental and social benefits.' Canada has an estimated 1,400 used merchandise stores, according to data research company Statista.

Singer Sean Kingston sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for US$1 million fraud scheme
Sean Kingston arrives at the 40th Anniversary American Music Awards in Los Angeles, on Nov. 18, 2012. (Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP, File) FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Singer Sean Kingston was sentenced to three and a half years in prison Friday after being convicted of a $1 million fraud scheme in which he leveraged his fame to dupe sellers into giving him luxury items that he then never paid for. Kingston, whose legal name is Kisean Paul Anderson, and his mother, Janice Eleanor Turner, were convicted in March by a federal jury of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud. Turner was sentenced to five years in prison last month. Before U.S. Judge David Leibowitz handed down Kingston's sentence, the singer apologized to the judge in the South Florida courtroom and said he had learned from his actions. His attorney asked if he could self-surrender at a later date due to health issues, but the judge ordered him taken into custody immediately. Kingston, who was wearing a black suit and white shirt, removed his suit jacket and was handcuffed and led from the courtroom. Assistant U.S. Attorney Marc Anton described Kingston as someone addicted to his celebrity lifestyle even though he could no longer afford to maintain it. 'He clearly doesn't like to pay and relies on his celebrity status to defraud his victims,' Anton said Friday. The federal prosecutor described a yearslong pattern by Kingston of bullying victims for luxury merchandise and then refusing to pay. 'He is a thief and a conman, plain and simple,' Anton said. Defence attorney Zeljka Bozanic countered that the 35-year-old Kingston had the mentality of a teenager -- the age he was when he vaulted to stardom. The attorney said Kingston had almost no knowledge of his finances, relying on business managers and his mother. 'No one showed him how to invest his money,' Bozanic said. 'Money went in and money went out on superficial things.' Bozanic said Kingston has already started paying back his victims and intends to pay back every cent once he is free and can start working again. Leibowitz rejected the idea that Kingston was unintelligent or naive, but the judge said he gave Kingston credit for accepting responsibility and declining to testify rather than possibly lying in court. That was in contrast to Kingston's mother, whose trial testimony Leibowitz described as obstruction. Kingston and his mother were arrested in May 2024 after a SWAT team raided Kingston's rented mansion in suburban Fort Lauderdale. Turner was taken into custody during the raid, while Kingston was arrested at Fort Irwin, an Army training base in California's Mojave Desert, where he was performing. According to court records, Kingston used social media from April 2023 to March 2024 to arrange purchases of luxury merchandise. After negotiating deals, Kingston would invite the sellers to one of his high-end Florida homes and promise to feature them and their products on social media. Investigators said that when it came time to pay, Kingston or his mother would text the victims fake wire receipts for the items, which included a bulletproof Escalade, watches and a 19-foot (5.9-meter) LED TV, investigators said. When the funds never cleared, victims often contacted Kingston and Turner repeatedly, but were either never paid or received money only after filing lawsuits or contacting law enforcement, authorities said. Kingston, who was born in Florida and raised in Jamaica, shot to fame at age 17 with the 2007 hit 'Beautiful Girls,' which laid his lyrics over Ben E. King's 1961 song 'Stand By Me.' His other hits include 2007's 'Take You There' and 2009's 'Fire Burning.' By David Fischer.
