Taylor Swift breaks podcast record with ‘New Heights’ appearance

Taylor Swift has once again added another world record to her name, this time outside of music.

Her appearance on “New Heights,” the podcast hosted by her fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and his brother, former NFL player Jason Kelce, has become the most-watched podcast episode on YouTube, according to Guinness World Records.

The Aug. 13 episode, titled Taylor Swift on Reclaiming Her Masters, Wrapping The Eras Tour, and The Life of a Showgirl,” drew 1.3 million concurrent views. At press time, it had been viewed more than 20 million times.

The two-hour conversation provided fans with a rare in-depth interview, during which Swift discussed reclaiming ownership of her masters, The Eras Tour, her new studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” and her relationship with Travis Kelce.

The record adds to Swift’s long list of milestones. Earlier this year, her album “The Tortured Poets Department” became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day, earning 313.7 million plays in 24 hours. Her Eras Tour is also the highest-grossing music tour in history.

The news follows the couple’s announcement of their engagement on Instagram.

The couple’s love story started in July of 2023, after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end attended Swift’s Eras Tour and professed on his podcast that he wanted to give her a friendship bracelet.

In September, the singer was spotted at a Chiefs game, which sparked romance rumors. The couple confirmed they were dating shortly after.
