Travis and Jason Kelce are celebrating a massive win for their New Heights podcast, and they have Taylor Swift to thank. The brothers celebrated on a recent episode after their special show featuring the pop superstar was recognized by Apple Podcasts as one of the best episodes of the year.
A “Magical” Milestone for New Heights
During the Nov. 19 episode of their podcast, Jason Kelce proudly announced the achievement. “Our Taylor episode was named one of the best podcast episodes of 2025,” he shared, questioning what could possibly top their record-breaking show.
Travis’s reaction was short, sweet, and directed straight at his girlfriend. “She’s just so magical,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said, acknowledging her immense impact.
Jason, the Philadelphia Eagles alum, enthusiastically agreed, adding, “One of them? What is beating that one? There’s nothing even coming close to that.”
How Taylor’s Appearance Broke Records
Taylor Swift made her highly anticipated debut on New Heights on Aug. 13, where she candidly discussed the origins of their now-famous romance. She playfully credited the podcast for kickstarting their love story after Travis’s public attempt to connect with her.
“This podcast has done a lot for me,” Swift explained during her appearance. “I owe a lot to this podcast. This podcast got me a boyfriend ever since Travis decided to use it as his personal dating app about two years ago.”
The Friendship Bracelet That Started It All
The story began in July 2023, when Travis mentioned on New Heights that he was “butthurt” after failing to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it during her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City. The public admission quickly went viral, catching the attention of Swift herself.
Looking back on the bold move, Swift joked on the podcast, “It was such a wild, romantic gesture to just be like, ‘I wanna date you.’ I was like, ‘This dude didn’t get a meet and greet and he’s making it everyone’s problem.’”
That viral moment has since blossomed into one of the world’s most-watched relationships, and now, it has helped the Kelce brothers achieve one of their biggest podcasting milestones yet.
