Watch: How Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Inspired Cambridge Dictionary's Word of the YearTaylor Swift protects the family-leave the record-breaking and milestone-making to her. Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce had to give the latter brother's fiancée a lovely bouquet for putting their New Heights podcast on an Apple Podcasts list of the best episodes in 2025 for her appearance on the show in August. "Our Taylor episode was named one of the best podcast episodes of 2025," Jason shared during the Nov. 19 episode of New Heights, before Travis added of the Grammy winner, "She's just so magical." The Philadelphia Eagles alum naturally agreed. "One of them?" Jason asked. "What is beating that one? Are there other ones up there? There's nothing even coming close to that." Of course, Taylor previously shared that she had to grace New Heights with her presence for saving her from the fate of Ophelia. "This podcast has done a lot for me," Taylor explained during her Aug. 13 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."readTaylor Swift Reveals Personal Phone Call With Travis Kelce in New Docuseries TrailerIndeed, Travis called Taylor on the proverbial megaphone that is New Heights back in July 2023 when he claimed he was "butthurt" that he wasn't able to meet her during her Kansas City stop of The Eras Tour. However, Taylor also added more context to his endeavor to see her backstage. "It was such a wild, romantic gesture to just be like, 'I wanna date you,'" she joked.

"When this podcast came out I was like, 'Did he ever reach out to be in the tents or did we know he was in the building?'"

As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals. "I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings," Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. "So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her."JC Olivera/Getty ImagesSummer 2023: This Is Him TryingAfter publicly recounting his fumble-a move Taylor would later describe as "metal as hell"-Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.
