Fans are speculating that pop superstar Taylor Swift will appear on a special episode of the 'New Heights' podcast hosted by her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, set to be released on Friday (December 29).
The Kelce brothers teased a special "family edition" episode during their weekly episode released on Wednesday (December 27).
“We got a guest episode coming up … for you 92 percenters for being so loyal and tuning in every single week and being such fans of the Kelce household, we have a Kelce family year end holiday spectacular,” Kelce said, referring to a nickname given to the podcast's fanbase.
"We’re going to ask the family members some of the questions you guys have been submitting," Jason added.
The Kelces never mentioned Swift specifically, however, several fans speculated that the singer, who spent Christmas Day attending Travis' game against the Las Vegas Raiders, would be included.
"KELCE FAMILY EPISODE OF NEW HEIGHTS THIS FRIDAY, WITH KYLIE," an X user wrote, referencing Jason's wife likely making a reappearance on the show. "WILL TAYLOR BE THERE???"
“TAYLOR SWIFT ON NEW HEIGHTS FRIDAY (manifesting),” another X user wrote.
Kansas City Star photojournalist Nick Wagner captured Swift and Kelce holding hands after the Chiefs lost 20-14 to the AFC West Division rival Raiders on Monday (December 25).
“Spent my Christmas waiting for these two lovebirds,” Wagner wrote on his Instagram story, as well as "Merry Swiftmas to all who celebrate" in a post caption.
Swift, 34, has attended eight Chiefs games, with her absences coinciding with the international leg of her 'Eras Tour.' Earlier this month, a photo shared by several X accounts, showed Kelce, 34, and Swift kissing on the lips at the Miracle on Main Street pop-up bar during an event held for Chiefs players, spouses, friends and relatives after the game.
A previous picture shared by Kelce's friend and barber, Patrick Regan, in a carousel of pictures in an Instagram post showed Swift kissing Kelce on the left cheek. Regan also noted that Swift took the initial photo, which shows the barber giving the tight end a "gameday freshly," in the post.
Swift broke her silence on her relationship with Kelce while being featured as Time Magazine's 'Person of the Year' on December 6. The singer praised Kelce for "adorably" putting her "on blast" when he revealed on his 'New Heights' podcast in July that he attempted and failed to give her a bracelet with his phone number while attending her 'Eras Tour' concert in Kansas City.
Swift added that the two had spent "significant" time together before she initially attended a Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium in September, at which point they were already "a couple."
“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Swift said. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” Swift added. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
