Taylor Swift fans believe they have cracked the code on who will be the special guest on the next episode of New Heights podcast. The show, hosted by NFL player Travis Kelce and his retired brother Jason Kelce, announced a surprise episode coming Wednesday at 7 PM ET.
The podcast posted a new image on Instagram Monday that showed both brothers on either side of a mystery person’s silhouette. The caption said they were coming back early for a special episode with a “VERY special guest.” The blacked-out figure has sent Swift’s fanbase into detective mode.
According to Page Six, fans are convinced the mystery guest is Swift after spotting several telling details in the announcement. Many believe the clues point directly to the pop star making her first appearance on her boyfriend’s podcast. Swift supporters quickly filled the comments section with their theories about why the guest could be the Grammy winner.
Evidence that points to Taylor Swift’s appearance
The timing of the episode has fans talking. The special show will air on the 13th, which is widely known as Swift’s lucky number. She has used the number 13 throughout her career and often writes it on her hand before performances.
Jason Kelce’s outfit in the promotional image caught the attention of many viewers. The retired Philadelphia Eagles player is wearing a T-shirt with Swift’s face on it. Fans saw this as a major hint that the singer would be the guest. One person wrote that Jason wearing Taylor merchandise seemed like an obvious clue.
The background design also raised eyebrows among Swift’s followers. Instead of the usual yellow glitter background, the image features orange glitter. Fans remember that Swift wore orange during her Eras Tour when she said “See you next era.” She also used orange door imagery during her concerts, which many felt were hints about new music coming. Travis has been equally supportive of Swift’s tour, even joining her onstage during her London Eras Tour shows.
The shape of the mystery silhouette has fans most excited. Many believe the outline looks like it could belong to Swift. Several comments pointed out that the figure’s shape matches the singer’s build. One fan said they could spot Swift’s outline from anywhere.
Travis Kelce and Swift started dating in summer 2023 and went public with their relationship that September. Their romance began when Kelce extended an invitation to Swift to attend a Chiefs game after expressing disappointment about missing her during her Kansas City tour. The couple has been together for over a year now. The brothers launched New Heights in September 2022 and have mentioned Swift on the show before. Both Travis and Swift are 35 years old.
