Taylor Swift, Kylie Kelce Fans Hope for New Heights Podcast Appearance

The Internet Buzz: Taylor Swift and Kylie Kelce as Podcast Guests?

Recently, fans of the popular "New Heights" podcast hosted by Jason and Travis Kelce were sent into a frenzy of speculation when the official Instagram account teased potential celebrity guests. The cryptic post, which featured silhouettes of two individuals between the Kelce brothers, sparked immediate rumors that Taylor Swift and Kylie Kelce might be making an appearance on the show.

The post caption read: "Tune in to tomorrow's episode to find out which special guests are making their New Heights debut next week 👀." The accompanying photo showed Jason and Travis with headphones on, with the mysterious silhouettes in between them. This simple tease was enough to set social media ablaze with excitement and anticipation.

Fan Reactions to the Speculation

The internet quickly exploded with theories and hopes that the silhouettes belonged to Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce's fiancée, and Kylie Kelce, Travis's sister-in-law. Comments on the Instagram post ranged from enthusiastic pleas to disbelief. "TAYLOR & KYLIE!?!? Please!?!? 🙏," one fan wrote in the comments section, while another simply added, "OHHHH SNAPPPP." The excitement was palpable as fans imagined the dynamic between these high-profile personalities and the Kelce brothers.

However, eagle-eyed viewers quickly pointed out that neither Taylor Swift nor Kylie Kelce would technically be making their "debut" on the podcast. Taylor Swift had already appeared on "New Heights" in August 2023 to announce her 12th album, "The Life of a Showgirl." Meanwhile, Kylie Kelce has been a frequent guest and previously held the record for the most-watched "New Heights" episode—a record she eventually lost to Swift during this summer's appearances.

The Actual Guests: Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson

During the Wednesday, November 19 installment of their podcast, Jason and Travis finally revealed their guests' identities: sports journalists Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson. "Maybe two of the most demanded guests of all time," Jason said, as Travis teased that the women are "so much fun."

While the disappointment was evident among some Swift and Kylie fans, the reveal of Andrews and Thompson brought its own excitement. The friends and "Calm Down" cohosts have been vocal about their support for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce as a couple before they officially began dating. Their history with both Swift and the Kelce family added an interesting layer to their appearance.

The Kelce-Swift Connection Through Andrews and Thompson

Interestingly, Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson have played a significant role in the Kelce-Swift romance. Andrews was one of the first to publicly advocate for the relationship, saying on an August 2023 episode of their podcast: "Taylor, I don't know what you're doing in your life right now besides rocking the world [on The Eras Tour], please, try our friend Travis. He is fantastic."

One month later, Swift made her first appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs game—and the rest is history. Thompson also exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2024, "Travis has been a good friend for a long time and I just love who he is as a person and I always want him to be happy... We do not get any credit for [this relationship], but we were definitely big advocates of it, and I'm so happy to see them so happy together."

During the NFL offseason, Andrews and Thompson spent quality time with the couple, as evidenced by Travis's July Instagram photo dump that included pics with both women and their respective partners. "I'm not going to elaborate too much on it, other than saying [Taylor's] a dream and I adore her and I'm so happy that they make each other happy," Thompson said on "Calm Down" while reflecting on the group's vacation.

What's Next for "New Heights"?

While a collab between Swift and Kylie Kelce isn't in the works (yet), fans have plenty to look forward to with Andrews and Thompson's appearance. The episode promises to be entertaining, given the hosts' history with both guests and the interesting dynamics between them. As for future episodes, the "New Heights" team has a track record of bringing in surprise guests, so fans will surely be keeping their eyes peeled for more teasers and announcements.

Whether it's Taylor Swift, Kylie Kelce, or another unexpected celebrity, the "New Heights" podcast continues to generate buzz and keep audiences engaged with its unique blend of sports, entertainment, and personal stories.
