Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce will be watching the live recording of Taylor Swift’s podcasting debut on “New Heights,” which is set to air Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET. The event marks a significant moment for Swift, who announced her new album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” during the episode.
Mahomes expressed his excitement about the appearance, citing his admiration for Swift and her dedication to creating high-quality music. He also noted that the call from Swift was unexpected but welcomed, saying he felt she could be herself on the podcast.
Kelce responded to Swift’s joke about NFL fans wanting more female representation in sports media, with a smile and laugh. The episode will mark Swift’s first time interviewing as a guest on “New Heights,” which has become one of America’s most popular sports podcasts since its launch in 2022.
The Chiefs’ head coach, Andy Reid, expressed his support for Kelce and Swift’s relationship, saying he hopes the couple will settle down with each other. Mahomes is expected to tune in live to watch the episode, which promises to be the most watched and listened to episode in “New Heights” history.
Swift made her podcasting debut on Wednesday night, addressing criticism she faced from some NFL fans during the 2023 season when her likeness was shown repeatedly during Chiefs’ broadcasts. She joked that male sports fans want to see more female representation in their spaces and on screens.
