Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce fans are buzzing after a heartwarming realization about the couple ahead of a big podcast episode drop.
The pop superstar and NFL star have been together for nearly two years. Swift is often seen cheering at Kansas City Chiefs games, and Kelce made a surprise appearance during her Wembley Stadium Eras Tour last summer.
On August 12, Swift joined Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce on their New Heights podcast for a special announcement. Fans caught a glimpse of Swift holding a mint green briefcase marked “TS” and teasing a new album called The Life of a Showgirl. Kelce excitedly shouted “TS 12!”—a nod to her upcoming 12th album—set to be revealed at exactly 12:12 pm on the 12th.
The full episode drops August 13 at 7 pm ET, which also happens to be Swift’s lucky number.
Fans reflected on how far the couple has come, tracing back to when Kelce first mentioned Swift on the podcast in July 2023. He recalled trying to give her a friendship bracelet with his number during her Eras Tour concert in Kansas City, but never got the chance—an encounter that later led to their connection.
One fan perfectly summed it up with a side-by-side video post: “We’ve come so far.” Others called it “manifestation in real life” and praised Kelce’s persistence, with references to Swift’s songs about going after what you want.
For many, Kelce’s football fandom started because of Taylor’s concert, and now Taylor is a guest on his podcast—a full-circle moment fans won’t forget.
