Is Taylor Swift Announcing New Music On ‘New Heights' This Week? Here's Every Easter Egg
The chatter about Swift's potential appearance on Travis and Jason Kelce's podcast, New Heights, started on Monday, August 11, when the podcast's X account teased that a very special guest would be joining the brothers this Wednesday.
'92%ers, we're coming back early for a special episode with a VERY special guest,' the caption read. 'New episode Wednesday 7PM ET.'
Swifties flocked to the comments, noting how the silhouette in the picture looks very similar to Taylor's — bangs, long hair, and all.
'I KNOW THOSE BANGS ANYWHERE HELLO,' one user commented. Another fan noticed that Jason is wearing what appears to be a shirt with the singer's face on it, and the background is a glittering orange (we'll get to the significance of the color later). Oh, and the episode drops on the 13th, which just happens to be Taylor's lucky number.
Is Taylor Swift Announcing New Music On New Heights This Week?
If Swift is a special guest on Wednesday's episode, there's a strong chance she could also announce new music. Taylor Nation, the official account of Taylor Swift's management team, has been dropping hints that the singer may be revealing something big soon.
On August 11, the same day as the New Heights teaser, the Taylor Nation Instagram account shared a 12-photo carousel. The caption read, 'Thinking about when she said 'See you next era…'' and the photos showed Swift in a variety of orange Eras Tour looks.
Fans noted that the missing album color in Taylor Swift's discography is orange, suggesting that TS12 could revolve around the orange hue. 'TS12 IS ORANGE DEFINITELY," one Swiftie commented. '12 pictures, every outfit is orange. This has to mean something 🧡🧡🧡' wrote another.
What Are Other Easter Eggs Pointing To TS12?
The Instagram carousel is just one of the Easter eggs hinting that Swift's next album, TS12, is on the horizon. Here are even more signs sleuths have put together:
When Does the New Heights Podcast Come Out?

Barstool's Dave Portnoy makes bold prediction about Chiefs as Travis Kelce re-enters media spotlight
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy made a bold prediction about the Kansas City Chiefs amid Travis Kelce's recent media showcases ahead of the 2025 regular season. Kelce and his brother dropped the news that Taylor Swift was going to be on their podcast. Following that, the Chiefs' star tight end did a spread with GQ Magazine. Portnoy wrote on social media that the Chiefs' so-called dynasty was "cooked." "All joking aside this media blitz from Travis Kelce confirms the Chiefs are cooked," he wrote on X. "As Marvin (Hagler) once said 'It's tough to get out of bed to do roadwork at 5am when you're sleeping in silk pajamas.' "Chiefs had a cute run but laughable to compare them to Patriots Mega Dynasty." Portnoy, who will be featured on FOX Sports' "Big Noon Kickoff" starting this college football season, is the latest to add his voice to those who believe the Chefs' dynastic run through the regular season and into the postseason was finished. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid responded to critics on Monday. "You understand because there were so many close games, but that's the National Football League, so I was proud of the guys and how they handled those [one-score games]," Reid said on "Up & Adams" when asked about the criticism the team has faced. "When it's all said and done, it's winning the game. We have winners, and they figured it out. I was proud of them for that. "We don't listen to all the noise. If you do that, you're gonna go crazy, and then you're not gonna have fun, right?" Kelce himself admitted in the GQ interview that some of the extracurricular activities that have come with his elevated level of fame have hampered him on the field. He was a big target of criticism early in the 2024 season for his lack of production. "I think it might have slipped a little bit because I did have a little bit more focus in trying to set myself up. And opportunities came up where I was excited to venture into a new world of acting and being an entertainer," he said. "I don't say this as 'I shouldn't have done it.' I'm just saying that my work ethic is such that I have so much pride in how I do things that I never want the product to tail off, and I feel like these past two years haven't been to my standard. "I just have such a motivation to show up this year for my guys."

A guide to Taylor Swift's most elaborate album announcements
NEW YORK (AP) — Taylor Swift doesn't simply announce albums. She curates events. That's a trend that certainly did not begin with the announcement of her 12th studio album, 'The Life of a Showgirl, ' on Tuesday. She's long embraced new technologies and forward-thinking marketing opportunities that allow her to connect directly with fans. (Who could forget her third studio album, 2010's 'Speak Now,' was announced via the now-defunct Ustream? Or that 2012's 'Red' was announced via Google+ Hangout — RIP — while over 70,000 fans watched via YouTube stream? Just us?) As her profile has risen, so too have her efforts. Easter eggs abound in her album rollouts. Here are a few of her most memorable. 'Reputation' (2017) ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Aug. 23, 2017 HOW SHE DID IT: 'Reputation' arrived with much speculation — at the time, the once very public-facing Swift had begun to keep a low profile, heightening the mystery. A week before Swift announced the album — which arrived on the three-year anniversary of the announcement of her last album, 2014's '1989' — Swift deleted every post across her social media platforms. A few days later, she posted a 10-second video clip of a snake. Soon afterward, she revealed the name of her album, its release date, and the fact that the first single from the project would arrive the very next day. RELEASE DATE: Nov. 10, 2017 'Folklore' (2020) ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: July 23, 2020 HOW SHE DID IT: In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Swift got creative. She announced that her eighth album, 'Folklore,' would arrive the next day — less than a year after the release of her seventh, 'Lover.' 'Most of the things I had planned this summer didn't end up happening, but there is something I hadn't planned on that DID happen. And that thing is my 8th studio album, folklore. Surprise,' she wrote on Instagram at the time. 'I've poured all of my whims, dreams, fears, and musings into. I wrote and recorded this music in isolation.' It wasn't just the album announcement that was a surprise. 'Folklore' marked a sonic detour for the pop star. RELEASE DATE: July 24, 2020 'Evermore' (2020) ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Dec. 10, 2020 HOW SHE DID IT: A few months after the surprise release of 'Folklore,' the prolific Swift announced 'Evermore.' She called it a 'sister' to 'Folklore.' 'To put it plainly, we just couldn't stop writing songs,' Swift wrote on social media in December. 'I've never done this before. In the past I've always treated albums as one-off eras and moved onto planning the next one after an album was released.' RELEASE DATE: Dec. 11, 2020 'Midnights' (2022) ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Aug. 28, 2022 HOW SHE DID IT: Swift took home the top prize at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards before she closed out the show with a big announcement: a new album. 'I thought it would be a fun moment to tell you that my new album comes out Oct. 21,' said Swift. after she won video of the year for her project 'All Too Well: The Short Film,' which claimed best long-form video and direction. 'I will tell you more at midnight.' At the anointed hour, Swift said on social media that her 10th studio album would be called 'Midnights,' which she said would involve 'stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life.' RELEASE DATE: Oct. 21, 2022 '1989 (Taylor's Version)' (2023) ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Aug. 9, 2023 HOW SHE DID IT: Taylor Swift closed the 2023 U.S. leg of her landmark Eras Tour in Los Angeles in a big way, announcing the fourth edition of her re-recording project: '1989 (Taylor's Version).' 'Instead of just, like, telling you about it, I think I'll just sort of show you,' she told the crowd as the screen illuminated behind her. ''1989 (Taylor's Version)' available Oct. 27!' she cheered, pointing out that she was revealing this on the eighth month of the year and the ninth day — a numerical clue. Then she launched into a surprise performance of the ascendant '1989' track 'New Romantics' and the 'Reputation'-era piano ballad 'New Year's Day' for the first time during her world tour. RELEASE DATE: Oct. 27, 2023 'The Tortured Poets Department' (2024) ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Feb. 4, 2024 HOW SHE DID IT: The night of the Grammys, Swift provoked mass speculation when her site seemed to go down. Some theorized she was gearing up to release 'Reputation (Taylor's Version),' but cryptic clues on the 'crashed' site indicated that might be a misdirect. In classic Swift fashion, it was. While accepting the Grammy for best pop vocal album, Swift said she'd been keeping a secret for two years: 'The Tortured Poets Department,' an all-original album. RELEASE DATE: April 19, 2024 'The Life of a Showgirl' (2025) ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Aug. 12, 2025 HOW SHE DID IT: For her 12th studio album, Swift really embraced the number. She announced the album on her website shortly after a countdown timer expired at 12:12 a.m. on Aug. 12. The day before, the Taylor Nation account — an official branch of her marketing team — posted a TikTok slideshow of 12 images captioned 'Thinking about when she said 'See you next era…'' That was posted 12 minutes after an image of a mysterious silhouette appeared on the social media accounts for the 'New Heights' podcast hosted by Swift's boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. Fans theorized the outline was of Swift. They were, of course, correct. Also at 12:12 a.m. on Aug. 12, the 'New Heights' social media accounts confirmed Swift would appear on the podcast for the first time. That appearance was scheduled for Aug. 13 — 13, of course, another number important to Swift. RELEASE DATE: It remains to be seen.
