Taylor Swift has the power to break records… and the internet.
\nWhen the 14-time Grammy winner, 35, made her long-awaited appearance on Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast, the YouTube livestream blacked out towards the end of the two-hour plus episode.
\nThe episode suddenly stopped and went black nearly an hour and 45 minutes after it premiered at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Aug. 13. Specifically, the livestream \u2014 which attracted over a million viewers who watched in real time \u2014 cut out around 8:45 p.m. ET.
\nAt 8:48 p.m. ET, the New Heights X account \u2014 which had been live tweeting throughout the episode \u2014 explained what happened.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“We hit a glitch but will be back shortly!!!” the podcast account shared on the social media platform.
\nThe account added, “Shoutout all the 92%ers and swifties for actually helping us break the internet.”<\/p>\n
Approximately four hours later, New Heights shared an update on X at 12:37 a.m. ET.
\n“WE ARE BACK!!!!” the podcast’s official X account wrote. “Use this link to pick up right where we left off,” the page added, dropping the corresponding URL to direct viewers to the video.

\nQuote tweeting the post, New Heights thanked YouTube for getting the podcast episode back up and running after the blackout.
\n“Shoutout to the amazing team at @YouTube for helping get this fixed!!!” the podcast account wrote on X.
\nViewers poked fun at the New Heights X account’s choice of words, noting that the fix \u2014 which took approximately four hours from the time the episode cut out to the time the new podcast link was shared \u2014 wasn’t as quick as they made it out to be.
\n“‘Shortly’,” wrote one X user.
\nTo which the New Heights X account replied, “\ud83d\ude05\u00a0\ud83d\ude05\u00a0\ud83d\ude05 (But for real sorry about that we worked as fast as we could!).”<\/p>\n
Earlier in the night, WNBA star Caitlin Clark \u2014 a self-professed “Swiftie” and longtime Kansas City Chiefs fan \u2014 predicted a glitch of sorts would occur.
\n“Are we sure YouTube isn\u2019t going to crash tonight?” joked the Indiana Fever guard on X at 2:22 p.m. ET.
\nAfter the screen blacked out, Clark quote tweeted herself on the social media platform, writing, “Swifties so powerful we broke the Internet.”
\nDuring her appearance on New Heights, Swift covered a variety of wide-ranging topics: she emotionally opened up about regaining the rights to her music, gave a rare glimpse inside her romance with Travis, 35, and shed light on her forthcoming alum, The Life of a Showgirl (due Oct. 3).
\nThe singer-songwriter’s debut on New Heights\u00a0didn’t just break the internet, but it also set a new viewership record for the popular podcast hosted by the NFL brothers.
