“Taylor Swift Shakes Up Travis and Jason Kelce’s ‘New Heights’ Podcast – The Stunning Transformation You Can’t Miss!”
Travis and Jason Kelce got candid about the significant impact the Taylor Swift’s fan base has had on them, specifically their New Heights podcast.
In an article posted by PageSix, the NFL brother’s spoke at the Cannes Lions festival on Thursday, June 20, and highlighted how their association with Swift – namely Travis’s romantic relationship with the pop star – has attracted a whole new audience to their show.
“We do have a lot of new football fans coming in,” the Super Bowl champion, 34, explained. He mentioned that they aim to make the sport more accessible to these newcomers by simplifying the discussions. “So not just talking football like we would in the locker room, trying to, like, necessarily dumb it down or make it more simple so that everybody can follow along and still enjoy the show.”
His brother Jason, who is now retired from the NFL, expressed his enthusiasm about the podcast’s growing female audience. He noted that the show is encouraging more girls to take an interest in football, a sport they might not have previously followed.
Additionally, he appreciated how the podcast is fostering connections between fathers and daughters. “It’s great to see girls getting involved in a sport where previously there wasn’t much interest,” he said, adding that it allows different worlds to “collide, which is awesome. The 36-year-old is a father to three daughters himself, Wyatt Elizabeth, Elliotte Ray and Bennett Llewellyn, whom he shares with his wife, Kylie Kelce.
Travis pivoted the conversation to emphasize the importance of responding to their audience’s feedback to maintain engagement. “You gotta listen to your viewers and you have to listen to the comments,” he stated. “And your demographic and to see, you know, who you’re talking to, right?” It’s safe to say most Swifties would agree.
The Chiefs tight-end revealed in an interview at his Kelce Jam music festival back in May what his favorite date night meal to make is. After visibly thinking for a moment, Travis replied, “I just recently found out how to make some home-cooked pasta, like some actual noodles… I guess just some noodles with some spicy lemon garlic and shrimp. Shrimp linguine.”
Fans chimed in on TikTok saying how Swift had to be responsible for Travis’s culinary skills, posting comments like, “You just know Tay taught him how to make pasta ,” and, “Imagining taylor teaching him how to cook is my favorite thought rn.”
