Sporting an outfit emblazoned with heart emblems, Weezy said to the audience: “I’m dressed in spirit. In the spirit of my man Travis and my girl, you already know, Taylor. Traylor! That’s what we call them. Congratulations.”
The news of Swift’s and Kelce’s engagement came shortly after Swift announced her hotly anticipated 12th album, ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’, during her first-ever appearance on the New Heights podcast, hosted by Kelce and his brother Jason.
Kelce recently discussed their relationship and his admiration for Swift’s epic, three-hour ‘Eras Tour’ shows. “I hadn’t experienced somebody in the same shoes as me, having a partner who understands the scrutiny, the ups and downs of being in front of millions,” he said. “That was very relatable, seeing how exhausted she would get after shows.”
Swift has attended the last two Super Bowls to support Kelce, helping the 2024 game become the most-watched broadcast in US TV history since the 1969 moon landing. This year, her reaction to being booed by Eagles fans at the event went viral.
In late 2023, the NFL said that it was “very happy” with Swift and Kelce’s relationship, as it helped bring even more fans and momentum to the world of American football. It also defended its extensive coverage of the singer coming out to watch Kelce play, despite backlash from some football fans.
‘The Life Of A Showgirl’ is co-produced by Max Martin and Shellback, alongside Swift herself. The pop star has since shared the full tracklist for the album, which boasts a collab with Sabrina Carpenter on the title track.
Swift has described the follow-up to last year’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ as “the record I’ve been wanting to make for a very long time”. The project will focus on “what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life” during the record-breaking ‘Eras Tour’. Swift recorded the album in Sweden, in between shows on the huge tour.
Speaking on New Heights, Swift explained that there are “no other songs coming” beyond the standard tracklist: “With ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, I was like, ‘Here’s a data dump of everything I thought and felt in two or three years. Here’s 31 songs’. This is 12. There’s not a 13th, there’s not other ones coming.”
