Overview

  • Taylor Swift made her debut as a featured guest on New Heights to unveil her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, scheduled for Oct. 3.
  • The live YouTube stream drew over 1.3 million viewers at its peak before a technical glitch interrupted the finale.
  • Swift and Travis Kelce revisited their 2023 meet-cute, including his failed friendship-bracelet gesture, and Kelce praised her new tracks as “a lot more upbeat.”
  • Kelce’s on-air affection, from hand-holding to declaring himself “the luckiest man in the world,” provoked both praise and “cringe” backlash on social media.
  • Separately, Donna Kelce told People that her son slimmed down during offseason training in South Florida and is faster as he enters his 13th NFL season.
