Swift made an appearance on the Kelce brothers' New Heights podcast, and gave a hilarious nod to their "male sports fan" listeners.

There is one vital, earth-shattering, no-going-back difference between Swifties and a certain subgroup of male football fans: Swifties are big fans of Taylor Swift's relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. But this group of male football fans?

They hate the relationship so much, they're counting down the days until Kelce retires, just so they hopefully don't have to see Swift in the stands anymore. Talk about conditional love!


Swift, Travis, and his older brother, former Philadelphia Eagles star and now ESPN spokesman Jason Kelce, are all well aware of the 41subgroup's pushback against Taylor Swift appearing in their games, stands, and media.

Since they've accepted it, they might as well have some fun with it.

The Kelce Brothers recently launched their podcast New Heights, which typically centers around football, games, players, and sports history, but for one episode and one episode only, they had a very special guest.

They really missed an opportunity to call it New Heights: Taylor's Version. Because the focus of that episode was for Swift to announce, for the very first time, her next album, which will be called The Life of a Showgirl.

A teaser trailer of their guest star went viral on Twitter (X), Instagram, and TikTok as Jason Kelce gave Swift the introduction she deserves:

"She is the most awarded artist in the history of the American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and iHeart Radio Music Awards. She has 14 Grammy Awards and is the only artist in history to win Album of the Year four times."
"Last December, she wrapped up 'The Eras Tour,' which spanned 149 shows across 51 cities, five continents, and was the most attended tour of all time."
"Her last album, 'The Tortured Poets Department,' set a record with 1.76 billion streams globally within the first week alone."
"And as a fan of 'that guy on the Chiefs,' she has 19 wins, two AFC titles, and a Super Bowl. 92%ers, are you ready for it?!"
"Making her podcasting debut, the most requested guest in the history of shows, Taylor Swift!"

Swift thanked Kelce for the thoughtful and impassioned introduction and then used the opportunity to troll the fans who would definitely have a problem with her appearing on the show.

"Thank you; that was so nice. Thank you. Thank you for having me on my favorite podcast."
"As we all know, you know, you guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast."
"And, um, I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens..."
"...It's more of me."

IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING TAYLOR SWIFT. TONIGHT. 7PM ET.

This was clearly meant to be a joke, pointing out that there would be people who would be unhappy that Swift shared the Kelce brothers' space to share her next big accomplishment.

But male football fans came out in droves on Twitter (X), clearly not getting the joke.






Instagram and TikTok were much more positive spaces, with people finding Swift's jab to be utterly hilarious.

Others also greatly appreciated Swift getting the intro she deserved, and from her boyfriend's brother, no less!

And of course, there were some icons who were "not calm" in the comments.

Though that subgroup of male football fans who can't stand Swift or her relationship with Kelce certainly came out of the woodwork for this podcast episode, Jason's yell into the microphone was more than loud enough to drown all of them out.

Not to mention Swift's confident quip and the many fans who showed up in the comments to laugh along with her.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."

Trump Hit With Reality Check After Giving Himself An 'A+' On The Economy In Delusional Interview

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed in an interview with Fox News that he should be given an "A+" for the current economy after claiming the "costs are all coming down now."

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.
