Taylor Swift and the Kelce brothers broke YouTube as the eagerly anticipated episode of ‘New Heights’ premiered on Wednesday night.

For the first time, Jason and Travis finally welcomed Swift onto the popular podcast. Over one million viewers joined within just eight minutes to learn about their relationship, its origins, the NFL, and more, with the viewership peaking at about 1.3 million.

WNBA star Caitlin Clark warned about the power of the Swifities before the broadcast even began, and eventually, the sheer number of live viewers overpowered the YouTube servers. The stream crashed after one hour and 44 minutes, but the episode provided a litany of great moments.

Swift and Travis flashed their romance and close relationship while sharing numerous stories, and the popstar also revealed what it was like to meet Jason and the rest of the family.

She also told stories from her blockbuster Era’s Tour, reclaiming her masters, and unveiled her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl.

Here are 10 of the best moments from Swift’s appearance on ‘New Heights’:

New Heights = personal dating app

Moments into the podcast, Swift poked fun at how her relationship with Travis started, suggesting ‘New Heights’ was used as the tight end’s “personal dating app” as she used it to get to know his character.

Choking back tears

Swift was visibly emotional as she told the story about her mom and brother meeting with Shamrock Capital to buy her master’s back, and when they finally agreed to sell. She admitted she doesn’t speak about it that much: “I just dramatically hit the floor… balling my eyes out just weeping…”

Near-kiss

The pair were making bread puns using Swift’s songs and lyrics when she used one that Travis clearly didn’t know. After calling him out for it, the two seemed to lean in for a kiss when the camera cut away.

Dunking on sport

While she claimed she is competitive on Travis’ behalf, Swift admitted she doesn’t enjoy playing sports and is more than OK with that, claiming: “It’s not part of my metrics for my self worth.”

“WE DRAFTED XAVIER WORTHY!”

Yep, Travis has got to Swift. She may not like playing sports, but Swift hilariously recalled how excited she got when the Chiefs traded up to select Xavier Worthy in the 2024 NFL Draft, which stunned her friends.

“Don’t drop her”

Travis said he felt like “an ant, like the smallest piece of life ever” when recalling the infamous time he came out on stage during Swift’s Eras Tour show at Wembley Stadium. Then, he just didn’t want to drop her.

Drink a beer or meet the royal family?

Swift recounted the time when she took Jason to meet the British royal family, who were in attendance at one of her Wembley shows – and the Philadelphia Eagles legend didn’t know what to do with his beer.

She said: “I watched him have this moment with his beer where he was like, ‘I wanna take it, but I know I probably should not take it.’ I watched this happen.”

Jason quipped: “Is it disrespectful to have a beer with royalty?”

Jason and Kylie’s relationship

Swift told an amusing story of how Jason told his wife Kylie how he wanted to jump through a burning table in Buffalo after shotgunning several beers.

Swift recalled Kylie’s reaction: “She goes, ‘OK. Can we not do that right now?’”

The Life of a Showgirl

Swift unveiled her 12th album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl.’ The album will be her first record since she regained control of her music catalogue, and Travis celebrated the occasion by throwing confetti into the air.

Manual drum roll

As Swift was unveiling the names of the tracks on her new album for the first time, she urged Travis to give her a drum roll – which he did on the table in front of them.
