Kylie Kelce was just as excited as Us to see Taylor Swift‘s surprises on the “New Heights” podcast.
During the Thursday, August 14, episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, Kylie, 33, shared her thoughts on Jason and Travis Kelce‘s big guest, joking it “felt weird” to even mention “the other podcast” by name. She also teased that she’s “officially no longer the record-holder for the most-watched” interview on “New Heights,” adding, “There’s no way it’s even close and I love that for me.”
Kylie taped her episode one day after Swift, 35, was confirmed to be joining her boyfriend, Travis, and his brother on their show. “It is very entertaining to watch the internet break,” Kylie joked. “It’s just crumbling apart. And I love it.”
Not only was Kylie looking forward to Swift’s revelations, but she was also excited to see her own “New Heights” interview “lose its long-tenured reign as top-watched episode.” (Kylie has been a guest on her husband’s show twice, making appearances in September 2023 and December 2024.)
