Jason Kelce's still got it.
The ex-NFL center, who went viral for screaming at critics of the Philadelphia Eagles during a post-parade speech after the Super Bowl LII victory, put together another viral-worthy promo this week.
As Kelce co-hosts the 'New Heights' podcast with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, the two welcomed Taylor Swift onto the show for the first time.
Although Swift needs no introduction these days, she still got one, as Jason Kelce cut another WWE-Esque promo ahead of her 'New Heights' debut.
"Our guest today is a singer, songwriter, producer, and director from Nashville, Tennessee—that's [expletive] she's from Reading, Pennsylvania—she is the most awarded artist in the history of the American Music Awards, Billboard Musical Awards, and iHeart Radio Music Awards," Kelce started.
"She has 14 Grammy Awards and is the only artist in history to win album of the year four times! Last year, she wrapped up The Eras Tour, which spanned 149 shows across 51 cities, five continents, and was the most attended tour of all time! I'm still going, hold up! Her last album, The Tortured Poets Department, set a record with 1.76 billion streams globally within the first week alone! ... 92 percenters! Are you ready for it?! Making her podcasting debut, the most requested guest in the history of shows, Taylor Swift!"
Oh man, that was mouthful! — Jason Kelce (@JasonKelce) August 13, 2025
Admittedly exhausted and cramping after going on his rant, Kelce received thanks from Swift, who clearly got a kick out of the introduction.
"That was so good! Thank you! Thank you for screaming for like 47 seconds for me, that was so nice," Swift responded.
Wednesday will mark the first time Swift joins the 'New Heights' show, which debuted in 2022. At the time, both Kelce brothers were active NFL players. Jason Kelce was reaching the end of his career with the Eagles, while Travis Kelce was at the height of his career with the Chiefs.

Since its debut, 'New Heights' has garnered over 2.6 million subscribers on YouTube. It's one of the top sports podcasts, and will surely see a boost with Swift making her debut on the show.
