Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Interview: Intimate Moments
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are making fans around the world blush after watching their new viral interview.
After countless requests, Taylor finally appeared on her boyfriend's podcast, New Heights, alongside his cohost and brother, Jason Kelce. This marked Taylor's first-ever podcast appearance, and, boy, did she make a lasting impression on audiences.
The multi-Grammy winner laughed, cried, and gushed while chatting about an array of topics like reclaiming the masters to her records, falling for Travis, life after the Eras tour, details about her 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl, the album artwork, baking, and so much more. It was a jam-packed conversation, which is why it lasted for more than two hours.
During the discussion, viewers couldn't help but notice how "comfortable and safe" the "Fortnight" singer appeared in the interview. They noted the vulnerability in her responses and the effortless way Travis and Taylor would flirt with each other. So much so, that at one point during the interview while they were discussing their relationship, Jason jokingly felt like he was intruding on something very intimate and asked, "Should I leave?"
"This podcast has done a lot for me," Taylor exclaimed. "It got me a boyfriend. Ever since Travis decided to use it as his personal dating app about two years ago." If you didn't know, Travis attended Taylor's Kansas City Eras show in 2023, hoping to meet the star, but when he didn't, he publicly "threw a man tantrum" about it on his podcast as he bluntly admitted that he wants to date her.
'It was such a wild, romantic gesture to just be like: 'I wanna date you,'' she said. '[It] felt more like I was in an '80s John Hughes movie, and he was standing outside of my window with a boombox saying: 'I want to date you! Do you want to go on a date with me? I made you a friendship bracelet.' I was like: 'If this guy's not crazy, this is sort of what I've been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.''
Fans loved how open and transparent she was being, adding that they'd never seen Taylor like this before.
Here's what some people said online:
"I don't think the Kelce brothers realize what a true gift this was for fans. I've never heard Taylor speak so openly and candidly for so long." —@chemistryflavored
"This podcast made me realize I dont think ive ever heard taylor talk this much or in a natural setting ever." —@laurenbartley425
"The best thing about this entire podcast isn't even the album announcement, it's just seeing Taylor so freaking happy and comfortable with some who clearly cares about her so much!" —@GOTGames
"Full disclosure, I was a bit annoyed that this sports podcast was going to have a pop singer on it. I was going to skip it. I have NEVER been this engrossed in anything for 2 hours in my entire life. Friends, is it crazy for a 54-year-old dude to be googling, 'What is a Swiftie and how can I become one?' I laughed, I got angry (at her not owning her music), and I got choked up. Seeing two people genuinely in love (when all we heard all season is this relationship isn't real, it's a marketing scheme, etc., etc.) gave me a feeling I did not know I could have. I've always thought the Kelce brothers were just dudes with dope jobs. Like they would chug beers with you if you met them. They don't act like famous people. Taylor seems the same. This showed ALL of their human sides and I loved every minute of it!! I am now a Taylor Swift fan as well. Well done girl!!!" —@sdreed70
"The way Travis just SO intently listens to her when she —@samanthaclapp
"Getting Taylor 'Professional Yapper' Swift on a podcast that won't have trick questions and with people she's comfortable with is what the fans needed." —@bananak1o
"It feels like I'm not suppose to be hearing this conversation. It's so natural and so safe like we're all sitting in their kitchen listening to her talk. All 1.3 million of us." —@jrraiderscheer3760
"We really owe a lot to Travis. We never get to see this side of Taylor. He's made her feel safe in a way that she can share this way." —@sarahgondos
"As a die hard Taylor fan since 2008 I'm so shocked to see her like this. I honestly thought we'd never see her this candid and especially not with a boyfriend, talking so openly about their relationship. I'm in awe. But then this made it so clear that this is what she always wanted, she never wanted secrecy and crazy borderline obsession with privacy, she wanted this, she'd just never found a man that had loved her enough and loved her right. I'm so happy for her, words can't explain." —@isasch123
