Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce broke the internet on Monday night with a flirty and foul-mouthed first glimpse of their New Heights podcast appearance – before the pop superstar dropped a shock new album at 12:12am.
Travis and his brother Jason Kelce co-host the popular show and supporters have long been calling for the Chief star’s girlfriend to be brought on… and this week, their wish will be granted at last.
Her appearance was first teased on Monday morning with a mystery silhouette that fans believed to be Swift. Then at 10pm, a 13-second clip confirmed the very special guest. Just two hours later, the Swiftie meltdown was complete when the singer announced her 12th album – titled ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ – at 12:12am ET on August 12.
‘So I wanted to show you something,’ Swift, who is sitting alongside her boyfriend Travis, tells Jason in the second teaser clip.
‘What do we got?’ he asks, while Travis smirks and sticks out his tongue. Swift then digs out a personalized briefcase and opens it up. ‘What’s in it?’ the elder Kelce brother asks.

Swift announced her brand new album – The Life of a Showgirl – on Travis’ New Heights show
‘This is my brand new album, “The Life of a Showgirl,”‘ Swift explains, pulling out the record. The album cover is blurred in the New Heights video.
Swift had also teased her fans with a countdown on her new website, which hit zero at the exact moment the New Heights clip was posted.
Her site initially crashed, due to the volume of fans trying to access it, before eventually a presale link allowed fans to order a vinyl, cassette, CD and poster of the new album – though the artwork remains a secret.
Earlier on Monday, the couple were seen flirting in a 13-second clip. It represented the first time they have been heard interacting in public.
‘It’s such a nice color on you,’ Swift says to her NFL star boyfriend, who is wearing a blue hoodie. ‘Yes,’ he replies. ‘I know, it’s the color of your eyes, sweetie. That’s why we match so well.’
Swift and Kelce have become arguably the most famous couple in the world since they began dating two years ago.
There was even some fan speculation that the pair could use this week’s special episode to announce their engagement, but it has now been confirmed that instead, new music is on the agenda.
