1 Instagram post about Taylor Swift is a 'New Heights' clue
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.

Taylor Swift announces new album 'The Life of a Showgirl' in clip from Travis Kelce's podcast — what we know
The clip was shared on Instagram at 12:12 a.m. ET on Aug. 12, a nod to Swift's 12th album. It's been a long time coming … and now we have a title for Taylor Swift's 12th album. The new work, The Life of a Showgirl, was announced on a video clip from the Wednesday, Aug. 13, episode of Travis and Jason Kelce's podcast, New Heights. It was shared on Instagram at 12:12 a.m. ET on Tuesday, Aug. 12, as a nod to Swift's 12th album. In the clip, Swift shows the brothers a record holder, which is mint green with the initials T.S. on it. 'This is my brand-new album, The Life of a Showgirl,' the singer declares, taking out the vinyl, the cover of which is blurred. Swift's website also isn't giving away the cover art, showing only a blurred orange and green image with a lock on it. Fans are able to preorder the vinyl, cassette and CD editions of the new album on the website. Swift has not revealed a track list or even a release date for the album. Her website states that pre-orders will ship out on Oct. 13, but that this is not an official drop date for the new work. While fans will have to wait to learn more about The Life of a Showgirl, the music icon is hitting the ground running on the album rollout. Billboards in Nashville and New York (two places Swift has called home) direct viewers to a Spotify playlist curated by the star titled "And, baby, that's show business for you." The playlist contains 22 songs, all of which were produced by Max Martin and Shellback, prolific pop music producers who worked with Swift on her albums Red, 1989 and Reputation. Fans speculate that the playlist could hint that Swift is reuniting with the team for The Life of a Showgirl. Meanwhile, others are getting in on the fun surrounding Swift's upcoming release. The Empire State Building in New York City was lit up in orange in celebration. And when you search "Taylor Swift" on Google, orange confetti rains down, and a burning heart icon pops up that says "And baby, that's show business for you." Eagle-eyed Swifties first noticed something was in the works with the Eras Tour icon on Aug. 11, when Taylor Nation — the official platform for all things Swift — took to social media to share a post featuring 12 photos of Swift, all in the same shade of orange. The caption of the post was 'Thinking about when she said 'See you next era …'' along with a red heart surrounded by orange flames. Meanwhile, Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, announced that Swift would be the surprise guest on his and his brother Jason Kelce's New Heights podcast episode dropping on Wednesday. The brothers initially hinted that Swift could be joining them in a post Monday afternoon that featured Travis in Swift merch with a sparkly orange background, which fans caught on to immediately. The 12th album marks Swift's first new music release since she announced that she officially owns her first six albums after a lengthy battle over her master recordings. The artist began a rerecording project after she learned in 2019 that her masters were sold to Scooter Braun against her will. Swift went on to release enormously successful 'Taylor's Versions' of her 2008 album, Fearless; her 2010 album, Speak Now; her 2012 album, Red; and her 2014 album, 1989, and now owns the original works as well. 'To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it,' Swift wrote in a letter to fans posted on her website when she purchased her masters. 'All I've ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright with no strings attached, no partnership, with full autonomy.' While fans were initially anticipating rerecordings of her 2006 self-titled album and her 2017 album, Reputation, to be among her next releases, Swift instead appears to be focusing on making new music.

Travis Kelce is ready to tone down ‘party guy' image as his 13th NFL season begins
Travis Kelce is done fighting for his right to party. Or at least the 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end is ready to start toning down his party-hearty image — which is kind of big news for a dude who is known for his wild, celebratory, off-key renditions of the Beastie Boys classic '(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!)' and is often seen out enjoying life with superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift. Kelce made the revelation during a lengthy interview with GQ that was published Tuesday morning. 'I'm starting to phase out of wanting to be known as the party guy,' the three-time Super Bowl champion and 10-time Pro Bowl selection said. 'When you see me hanging out at the US Open with Taylor, it may look like the two of us are partying. But I'm just enjoying the fun of being at this really cool event that I always wanted to go to with the person that I love.' He added: 'I've become way more strategic in understanding what I am portraying to people.' Following the Chiefs' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LIX in February, Kelce didn't immediately commit to returning for his 13th NFL season and the final year of his contract with the Chiefs. He acknowledged to GQ that he has been thinking about his life after the NFL, although he didn't offer any details on what that might look like. Kelce already has a high profile off the field, thanks in large part to his relationship with Swift but also from his appearances in countless TV commercials and on his successful 'New Heights' podcast, which he co-hosts with older brother Jason. Incidentally, that podcast is sure to hit, uh, new heights in its number of listeners this week when Swift makes her first appearance on the show. Part of Kelce's new outlook on his image seems to have been influenced by Swift and the way she interacts with her immense fan base. 'People gravitate towards how she performs and how she makes it feel like the entire stadium is in a little room with her,' Kelce said. 'She is so good at mesmerizing everybody and making everybody feel like it's an intimate situation. I think that alone — there is so much calm and coolness. She's beautiful. She's up there making everyone feel at ease. 'Whenever I get in front of a crowd, I feel like I've got to be like, Woooo! Like, excited, bringing the energy. Then I saw that coolness and that calmness and that relatability that she is so good at presenting. I really grabbed that. Like, Man, I can use that side of entertainment as well. It's not just always being the guy that brings the energy and creates these exciting moments.' Kelce added that he and Swift share similar outlooks when it comes to their respective legacies. 'Nowadays I just want to be respected and loved by the people that I'm surrounded by in my work,' he said. 'I want to leave it better than where it was when I started. And I see her having those same values.'
