Taylor Swift just flipped the script on album announcements. Instead of a usual press release or flashy social media drop, she chose a late-night surprise on New Heights, the podcast hosted by none other than her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, and his brother Jason. Swift’s forthcoming 12th studio album marks her first major release since her 2024 album, The Tortured Poets Department. It also hints at a fresh new chapter in the songstress’s ever-evolving career!
Taylor Swift Drops Surprise Album On Travis Kelce Podcast

The reveal itself had that classic Tay theatrical vibe. Sitting next to Travis Kelce, she opened a mint green briefcase stamped with her signature orange initials. Inside was a vinyl copy of the new album, though the cover art stayed mysteriously blurred, leaving fans hungry for details. Jason Kelce shouted “TS12!” while Travis showed pure excitement. It was a fun moment for the couple, who first sparked romance after the athlete’s playful 2023 shoutout to Swift on this very podcast.
