Fans Speculate Taylor Swift Will Make Music Announcement on 'New Heights' Podcast

Swifties are convinced that music icon Taylor Swift will be the next guest on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast.

On Monday, August 11, the 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end teased a “VERY special guest” for the Wednesday 7 p.m. ET episode in a post on X.

Although the promo image shows a shadowy figure that looks like a woman with long hair, fans were most intrigued by Jason’s T-shirt. Swifties were quick to notice that the Kelce brother was sporting Swift merch, sparking excitement about who the guest might be.

Fans also pointed to a post from Taylor Nation, the singer’s official fan account, which shared 12 orange-tinted photos captioned, “Thinking about when she said ‘See you next era...’.”

"Ok, so I’m taking this as official confirmation that TS 12 is orange and it’s coming soon," said one fan on Reddit.

"It’s happening...everyone stay calm it’s happening!" someone else replied.

"Y’all better not be playin. it’s a Monday and i’m fragile," someone had commented on the Taylor Nation post. Another commenter said, "She knows what she’s doing here and truthfully it’s not fair because now my all my thoughts are consumed."

Throughout recent months, fans have spotted numerous subtle hints pointing to TS12, or Taylor’s 12th era, including hidden references to the number 12 in her outfits, social media posts, and official materials, all suggesting something big is on the horizon.

TS12 would be Swift’s first new music since she released The Tortured Poets Department in April 2024. Fans believe this vibrant, orange-themed era will focus on her relationship with Travis, which means making an announcement on his podcast—especially on the 13th—would feel perfectly timed.
