Is Taylor Swift appearing on Travis Kelce's next 'New Heights' podcast?
This... may not be a drill, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce fans. For the last couple of years, we've all been hoping Taylor Swift would appear on a New Heights podcast episode with her boyfriend and his brother, Jason. There's been a lot of speculation, but no real appearance (just a lot of Swift shoutouts and anecdotes).
But on Monday, New Heights dropped an announcement that was VERY different. And it had a lot of clues as to a "VERY special guest." When it comes to Taylor Swift, we all know that clues and Easter eggs are very much her thing, so this would track.
So... is Taylor Swift finally coming on an episode of New Heights? Let's open the doors to the speculation and see all the clues that fans are pointing out on Monday:
The New Heights Twitter account announced a "special" episode
"92%ers, we're coming back early for a special episode with a VERY special guest," the post read.
Look at that outline. Doesn't it look like Swift?

HMMM! But I'd also argue that a clue like that seems TOO obvious.
The background of the photo is glittery
Doesn't it... look like this?

1 Instagram post about Taylor Swift is a 'New Heights' clue
Swifties were sent into a frenzy on Monday morning as the New Heights podcast dropped an announcement that they'd be having a special show with a surprise guest on Wednesday night. New Heights, which is hosted by the NFL brother duo of Jason and Travis Kelce, usually teases guests with silhouettes and context clues. This time around, there are a lot of hints as to why the special guest might actually be pop star Taylor Swift. Fans of both the singer and the Kelce podcast have been begging for Travis to bring his 14-time Grammy winning girlfriend on the show, and this might be the closest we've gotten to this maybe coming true. The initial New Heights post on social media naturally got everyone's attention with Jason's Eras Tour shirt, the familiar outline and the breaking news. But the clowning dialed up a notch with Taylor Nation's -- the official Taylor Swift social media account -- post 12 minutes after New Heights' did. While 13 is the number most associated with the The Tortured Poets Department singer, this time 12 is significant because the next album will be her 12th. Not only was the Taylor Nation post 12 minutes after New Heights, it included 12 photos with the caption "Thinking about when she said 'see you next era,'" in reference to her Eras Tour book. All of those pictures also featured the orange and purple palate that Swifties have assigned to the next album. Will we get some more information on Wednesday? We'll just have to wait and see.

Why fans think Taylor Swift will be the next guest on 'New Heights'
Could we be getting new Taylor Swift music AND her first appearance on the 'New Heights' podcast? Is another era about to begin? Swifties were sent into a frenzy on Monday when the Instagram account for 'New Heights,' the podcast featuring Swift's boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, and his brother, retired NFL star Jason Kelce, teased a major guest for its next episode. '92%ers, we're coming back early for a special episode with a VERY special guest,' the caption says. 'New episode Wednesday 7PM ET.' Jason Kelce also appears to be wearing Swift merchandise from the 'Eras Tour.' The middle of the graphic features a silhouette of a woman as the mystery guest. 'It's been a long time coming….' one fan commented. 'I would recognize the silhouette of those bangs from a mile away,' another wrote. 'Yall really know how to get the swifties riled up on a Monday morning,' another commented. Also on Aug. 11, Taylor Nation, a social media account affiliated with Swift's team, shared a post with a carousel of photos of Swift performing in orange outfits. The background of the 'New Heights' announcement is also orange. 'Thinking about when she said 'See you next era…' ❤️🔥,' the caption reads. Eagle-eyed fans remember that line from Swift's official 'Eras Tour' book, which serves as a retrospective of her massive 'Eras Tour' that concluded in December 2024. At the end of another Instagram video from Taylor Nation that month, the same words appear: 'See you next era...' Is Taylor Swift releasing new music? Fans took it as a sign that a new album is forthcoming. 'OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING!??? 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡,' another wrote. Fans also noted connections between the 'New Heights' and 'Taylor Nation' posts to speculate that Swift is going to officially announce the new album during an appearance on the podcast. 'This and the @newheightshow teaser with the orange sparkly background (when they're usually yellow) and jason wearing a midnights tay sweater and travis having 2 mics in front of him as if the guest is with him…. she's gonna announce it on the pod isn't she,' one fan commented. Dedicated Swifties, who know how much the singer enjoys puzzles and Easter eggs, dug even deeper into the symbolism of the posts. 'TN POSTED 12 MINUTES AFTER NEW HEIGHTS, the 12th word in new heights was capitalized, taylor nation posted 12 PICTURES WITH TAYLOR IN ALL ORANGE, talking about the next ERA, 2 days from now is the 13th (new heights episode) AND JASON IS WEARING TAYLOR MERCH,' one person wrote on X. The next original studio album Swift releases would be her twelfth. She has also released rerecorded versions of four of those albums. The new episode of 'New Heights' will be released on streaming services Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET, which is also a departure from the normal morning release.

Easter Eggs and References in the 'One Piece' Season 2 Trailer
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Netflix's live-action adaptation of the ultra-popular One Piece series is set to return to the high seas next year. One Piece follows Monkey D. Luffy (Inaki Godoy) on his quest to become king of the pirates and find the One Piece, a legendary yet mysterious treasure left by the former King of Pirates, Gold Roger. He's joined by his crew, stoic swordsman Roronoa Zoro (Mackenyu), money-hungry navigator Nami (Emily Rudd), story-weaving sniper Usopp (Jacob Romero Gibson), and flirtatious chef Sanji (Taz Skylar). Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D Luffy Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D Luffy Courtesy of Netflix In celebration of One Piece Day on August 9, Netflix released the first trailer for the highly anticipated second season. The trailer highlights the return of the Straw Hat Crew while teasing new characters, locations, and storylines. Here are some of the Easter eggs and references found in the first trailer for the new season. New Characters One Piece is renowned for its in-depth world-building and wealth of beloved characters, with thousands of pirates, marines, fishmen, and citizens popping up throughout the series' nearly 30-year run. Curiously, the trailer made no mention of fan-favorite character Tony Tony Chopper, an anthropomorphic reindeer and the latest member of the Straw Hat Pirates, but there are still plenty of reveals for fans to enjoy. One Piece is set to be even bigger than the first season, literally. The trailer introduces Brogy (Brendan Murray), a friendly giant hailing from a fabled island of giants, who becomes a key ally to the Straw Hats in the later portions of the anime and manga. One of the most anticipated characters is Captain Smoker (Callum Kerr), a bare-chested marine with a love for smoking two cigars simultaneously. Smoker was first teased at the end of the first season after he spots Luffy's freshly minted bounty poster. Smoker's name isn't solely derived from his bad habit but also his ability to create and control the substance itself. The Marines aren't the only forces out to stop Luffy and the Straw Hat Crew. They will also have to face off against the secret criminal empire, Baroque Works. Baroque Works includes some of the most consequential characters in the entire series, two of whom appeared in the trailer. Ms. All Sunday (Lera Abova), the cowboy-hat-donning, flower-petal-spawning Vice President of Baroque Works, plays a major role in the series going forward. Ms. All Sunday's Hana Hana Fruit rivals Luffy's Gum Gum Fruit in terms of complex visual effects. The trailer also introduces another major player in Baroque Works, Ms. Wednesday (Charithra Chandran). Chandran of Bridgerton fame is set to see an expanded role in the third season, which was also announced to be in production at the end of the trailer. Lera Abova as Ms. All Sunday Lera Abova as Ms. All Sunday Courtesy of Netflix New Locales As a series set on the high seas, One Piece is all about adventure and hunting for treasure. The search for the One Piece takes the Straw Hats to several locations, including several shown in the trailer. The trailer gave viewers a first look at Reverse Mountain, the entrance to the titular Grand Line, a massive ocean route fit for only the toughest sailors. It also shows off Whiskey Peak, the cactus-covered island at the start of the Grand Line. In the source material, Whiskey Peak is where the Straw Hats confront the mysterious Baroque Works squad for the first time. The trailer also brings the crew to Loguetown, home of Captain Smoker and the site of Gold Roger's execution. Loguetown is the final spot in the East Blue before crossing into the Grand Line. Here is where Smoker and the Straw Hats cross paths, the first major encounter for the Straw Hats since Luffy earned his bounty. This fight is the catalyst for one of the longest-running rivalries in the story. The trailer closes with the crew's ship, the Going Merry, running into a massive scarred whale named Laboon. The giant whale is both one of the series' most endearing characters and one of the most interesting locations. One Piece season 2 premieres on Netflix in 2026.
