The most highly anticipated day in “New Heights” history might finally be upon us.
The podcast, hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce, teased fans with an announcement on Monday, August 11.
“92%ers, we’re coming back early for a special episode with a VERY special guest,” the show posted via social media. “New episode Wednesday 7PM ET.”
A graphic accompanying the post showed Travis, 35, laughing gleefully and Jason, 37, appearing to wear merchandise belonging to Travis’ girlfriend, Taylor Swift, with a silhouette of the mystery guest in between the brothers.

The background of the post featured a shimmery orange color, which is the same color that’s often been linked to the pop star’s next musical era.
In fact, the Instagram page Taylor Nation — which is run under the umbrella of Swift’s management team — posted a carousel of photos on Monday morning of Swift wearing various orange outfits from The Eras Tour.
“Thinking about when she said ‘See you next era…’ 
,” the caption read.
The post also received a like from Swift’s record company, Republic Records, sparking speculation about an announcement on the show from the star.
The NFL even joined in on the fun, commenting, “

Swift, also 35, has not appeared on the “New Heights” podcast since she and Kelce started dating in the fall of 2023.
Naturally, fans immediately began connecting all of the dots about Swift’s potential arrival in the “New Heights” universe.
“Trying to be very calm about this!!!!!!!!” one person commented via Instagram.
Another referenced the shape of the silhouette in the graphic, writing, “That’s 110% mother I can spot that outline from anywhere.”
“And it’s premiering on the 13th?!?,” another fan wrote, referencing Swift’s famous connection to the number. “Come on now. Gotta be Tay.”
During an interview in May, Jason was told fans would “love” for Swift to finally be a guest on “New Heights.”
“I think you and a lot of other people, for sure,” Jason joked.
While Swift has never appeared on “New Heights,” she has long been a topic of conversation on the podcast.
In January, Travis revealed that Swift is a loyal fan of the show. “She listens every week,” he told podcast producers Brandon Borders and Jake Chatzky.
Borders and Chatzky recalled meeting Swift for the first time, saying they were “floored” she knew their names.

Swift gave the producers “creative compliments” about the podcast, of which Borders and Chatzky said they were “very appreciative.”
“I appreciate you guys saying those things about Tay,” Travis said.
Swift’s potential appearance on “New Heights” comes as Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for the start of the 2025 NFL regular season.
The Chiefs travel to Brazil for their season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on September 5.
