Jason Kelce earned well-deserved love for Taylor Swift interview
The two hour episode amassed over 8.6 million views in just 12 hours of it being live, and the interview covers everything from Travis and Taylor's relationship, her new love for football, her obsession with baking bread, her family's health and -- of course -- Swift's new album.
While the announcement of Swift's 12th studio album, The Life Of A Showgirl, was the driving topic for the interview, it wasn't the lone discussion item. Throughout the entire flow of the episode, Jason Kelce served as an incredible host. The former Philadelphia Eagle asked thoughtful questions, seamlessly flowing between topics and hitting on questions that Swifties have been dying to ask for years.
Jason and Taylor have an obvious camaraderie, and the friendship between the two made it all more relaxed. It felt more like viewers were grabbing a beer with their pals than watching an interview. Viewers online were appreciative of Jason's hosting skills, sending lots of compliments his way.

Sabrina Carpenter Jumps Back Into The Top 10 Just Before Dropping A New Album
In a few days, Sabrina Carpenter's breakout album Short n' Sweet will turn one year old. The pop superstar released the full-length on August 23, 2024, and as she prepares to celebrate the title's first anniversary, she's also gearing up to deliver another full-length to the world. Man's Best Friend is expected to drop at the end of the month, and Carpenter is likely focusing her attention on that studio effort as well as its lead single 'Manchild.' Short n' Sweet was so massively successful that there's a lot of anticipation for Man's Best Friend and what she has coming next. But that doesn't mean that Americans have stopped listening to the recently-named Grammy winner's album that turned her into a household name. Short n' Sweet Nears the Top Tier on Three Billboard Charts Just two weeks shy of its first year on the Billboard rankings, Short n' Sweet climbs across multiple tallies this frame. The project, which collected the Best Pop Vocal Album Grammy, appears on four rosters, and it lifts on all of them. Short n' Sweet sits just below the top 10 on three of those rankings, as the hit-packed pop effort improves on the Top Streaming Albums, Vinyl Albums, and Top Album Sales charts, coming in at Nos. 12, 13, and 14, respectively. Sabrina Carpenter Returns to the Top 10 Short n' Sweet beats those positions on the Billboard 200, where it rockets back into the top 10. This time around, Carpenter pushes her sixth LP from No. 16 to No. 10. Luminate reports that the set enjoyed a growth in total consumption of almost 5%, and that in the past tracking period, it moved just under 30,000 equivalent units throughout the United States. 'Espresso,' 'Please Please Please' and 'Taste' Live on the Global Lists While 'Manchild' is the focus for Carpenter, and that tune reaches a new high point on several of Billboard's pop radio rankings, the three biggest singles from Short n' Sweet also live on multiple tallies. 'Espresso,' 'Please Please Please,' and 'Taste' can be found on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excluding U.S., and in every instance, they climb. 'Espresso,' which helped introduce Carpenter to a mass audience after years of hard work, even keeps at No. 5 on the Adult Contemporary ranking well over a year after it debuted.
