12 questions we want Jason, Travis Kelce to ask Taylor Swift on ‘New Heights’ podcast

Show Caption

Taylor Swift joined “New Heights,” her “favorite podcast,” hosted by romantic partner and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, a retired offensive lineman who played the Philadelphia Eagles.

While the show isn’t a blueprint for journalism or a heavy-hitting program, Swift is nonetheless in the hot seat. Conversations will be had. Questions will be asked. Answers may be given.

How much Swift reveals about her next studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” remains to be seen. But she chose the brothers’ show to announce it. The number of eyeballs and downloads the show will deliver could be record-setting.

In honor of Swift’s 12th album, here are 12 questions the Kelce brothers should ask Swift.

Is there any part of you that still roots for the Eagles?

As Jason Kelce noted in the introduction clip that made social-media rounds Wednesday, Swift is from Pennsylvania originally. Her previous Eagles fandom is well-documented. With the Eagles and Chiefs playing each other in two of the last three Super Bowls, it’s worth asking.

What was her reaction to being booed at the Super Bowl?

In New Orleans in February, the Caesars Superdome jumbotron showed Swift in the first half. The boos came ferociously – on brand from the Eagles contingent. Sometimes, it’s your own people who turn against you the most.  

Who’s her favorite player on the Chiefs – not named Travis Kelce or Patrick Mahomes?

The qualification of this question is key. Obviously No. 1 is “Trav.” Mahomes is too easy of a copout. Make her go down the roster and reveal some of the knowledge she’s picked up.

How many songs on the new album are about Travis?

“So High School” alluded to the Chiefs tight end on her most recent album. But after a couple of years of worldwide and whirlwind romance, there has to be more, right?

How many lyrics are about the Chiefs? Or football in general?

And with that will certainly come some references to “Chiefs Kingdom” or the gridiron, one would presume.

Who was the best hang at the Super Bowl 58 after-party?

Swift and Kelce were part of the Chiefs’ crew that partied in Vegas after last year’s Super Bowl win. Did anybody impress her with their dancing or partying ability?

Are you engaged?

Jason Kelce is not afraid to poke the bear. There has to be at least one question about whether the Travis Kelce-Swift relationship is taking the next step.

Will she do Kylie Kelce's podcast next?

Now that she’s done one Kelce podcast, what’s another one? Jason's wife, Kylie, is the host of "Not Gonna Lie."

Who’s the ideal crew to fill her suite at the game?

Sophie Turner. Sabrina Carpenter. Ryan Reynolds. Ice Spice. Caitlin Clark. Donna Kelce (the Kelce brothers’ mother). Brittany Mahomes. Swift has been joined by a number of friends and family at games.

Is she the Chiefs’ good-luck charm?

The Chiefs are 19-4 with Swift in attendance at games. But 1-1 in Super Bowls.

What has it been like getting to know the Kelce family?

From the aforementioned Kylie and Jason, to Travis’ parents Donna and Ed, gaining an understanding of how she vibes with her (potential) future in-laws would be insightful.

Which artist have you not yet collaborated with that you would like to? Any reveals for the upcoming album?

Let the hunt for "Easter Eggs" begin.
