Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back, Swifties and Chiefs Kingdom. We're absolutely over the
moon to dive back into all things Travis and Taylor
after our summer hiatus. Seriously, thanks so much for joining
us as we catch up on the latest developments in
this power couple's romance that has us all feeling like
we're living in a real life love story. It's been
an absolutely wild few months for our favorite tight end

(00:24):
and pop princess, and boy, oh boy, do we have
a treasure trove of juicy details. You've been craving from
romantic getaways that make us swoon to career milestones that
have us cheering. Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift have been
living their best lives, both on and off the field
or stage. So grab your favorite snack, settle in, and

(00:48):
let's dish on all the Tav's goodness. Let's kick things
off with the sweetest news that's making our hearts do backflips.
Travis Kelsey has invested in a race horse with a
name that's got Swifties everywhere screaming with joy. That's right, folks,
The Kansas City chief Star has bought a stake in

(01:09):
a three year old thoroughbred named Swift Delivery. If that's
not a grand romantic gesture, we don't know what is.
The news broke on Team Valor dot com and we're
betting Tailor's lucky number thirteen had at least a little
something to do with this decision. We mean, come on,
it's too perfect. Barry Erwin, the founder and CEO of

(01:32):
Team Valor International, was practically bubbling over with excitement about
Travis joining their ownership group. It's very exciting, Erwin gushed
to the Associated Press. I met him at the Kentucky
Darby and got to spend some time with him and stuff,
and we talked about horses and everything. When this horse
came to light and it was owned by one of

(01:54):
my partners already with the name, I figured this has
got to be a no brainer. We couldn't agree, Moore, Barry.
But wait, it gets even better. Even Travis's big brother,
Jason Kelsey couldn't resist getting in on the fun. The
former Philadelphia Eagles center took to x formerly Twitter with

(02:14):
a playful nod to Taylor's music that had us all giggling.
He wrote, but does it have an enlarged heart? Can
this horse do? It with a broken Heart at Gilchie Oh, Jason,
we see what you did there, referencing Taylor's song I
Can Do It with a Broken Heart from her latest album,
The Tortured Poet's Department. It's crystal clear that the Kelsey

(02:38):
brothers know exactly how to keep us entertained and on
our toes. Now, let's rewind a bit to May, when
Travis shared a hilarious story about his near miss at
the Kentucky Darby during an episode of The New Heights podcast.
He recounted how he almost won a wopping one hundred

(02:59):
thousand dollar at the annual Louisville horse racing event. I
was a nose away from winning that f ing thing, dude,
Travis told Jason, explaining that he had put money on
two horses, numbers eleven and two. I was a beginner.
I didn't get too far into that, he continued. I

(03:19):
just wanted to fuck ink put the money that I
brought in there and throw it down on like one horse,
and just get in pumped. If that thing was even
close and sure enough coming around that corner, you see
that thing come up, Travis jokingly added. Eat I almost
put in one a hundred thousand off a Japanese horse

(03:40):
in the Kentucky Darby. Do you think America would have
shamed me for that, Oh, Travis, We're pretty sure America
would have been nothing but proud. Speaking of entertainment, Travis
and Taylor have been making waves in their respective careers
that have us all sitting on the edge of our seats.

(04:00):
The love birds recently reunited at Taylor's jaw dropping watch
Hill Rhode Island Beach house after she wrapped up the
European leg of her record breaking Eira's tour, and let
us tell you it was a star studded affair that
had us all wishing for an invite. Our sources spilled
the tea that celebrity pals like Giji Hadid, Blake Lively,

(04:23):
Ryan Reynolds, and even the hunky Channing Tatum joined in
on the fun. Can you imagine the epic conversations and
potential dance offs happening at that gathering? And insider close
to the couple shared exclusively with us Taylor has been
on tour and working non stop, and she loves the
Rhode Island house and wanted to spend some time there

(04:46):
while the weather is still good. And she can enjoy it.
The source added that the week end bash was a
pre planned celebration to mark the end of Taylor's European
shows and give everyone a chance to RelA lax and reconnect.
Talk about a well deserved break, but let's be real,
the real highlight of this getaway the sweet reunion between

(05:10):
Travis and Taylor after being a part during his grueling
NFL training camp. She was so happy to reunite with
him and just be together, our source revealed, Cue the
collective ah from Swifties and Chiefs fans alike. While Taylor
took some well deserved R and R our boy, Travis

(05:31):
had to jet back to Kansas City for an important
event that had us all cheering from the sidelines. The
tight End received the prestigious Pulsonelly Sportsman of the Year
Award at the twenty twenty four Kansas City Sports Awards.
During his acceptance speech, Travis melted hearts everywhere by saying,

(05:53):
I've been here twelve years and I love the support.
That's why I came out tonight to make sure you
guys see the face of the people that love you, guys,
just as much as you love them. We're absolutely certain
that Taylor was cheering him on from afar, probably wearing
her favorite Chief's jersey. But hold onto your hats, folks,

(06:14):
because Travis isn't just making moves on the football field.
He's also branching out into the entertainment world in a
big way. Adam Sandler recently dropped a bombshell on The
Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that had us all screaming
with excitement. The comedy legend revealed that Travis will have

(06:35):
a cameo in the upcoming Happy Gilmore sequel. Yes, you
read that right. Our favorite tight end is going Hollywood.
Sandler spilled even more details on the Kelsey Brothers New
Heights podcast, saying, we were talking about you playing my
son while we were writing it, literally like six months ago.

(06:56):
We were like, imagine if Travis was my first baby,
how funny that would be. We don't know about you,
but we're already buying our popcorn for this one. Travis,
ever the good sport and clearly excited about his silver
screen debut, shared that he's been practicing his golf swing
and preparation for the role. Sandler reassured him Travis We're

(07:20):
gonna have fun the senior doing is with so many
great golfers, it's gonna be amazing. You're gonna be funny
as hell. We have absolutely no doubts about that, Adam.
We can't wait to see Travis flex his comedy muscles
alongside the legendary Adam Sandler. Who knows, maybe we'll see
Taylor make a surprise cameo two a swifty kin dream. Now,

(07:44):
let's talk about the New Heights podcast, because Travis and
Jason have just inked a major deal that's got the
entertainment world buzzing louder than a swarm of bees. The
brothers signed a three year contract reportedly worth a jaw
dropping one hundred million, with Amazon's podcast studio Wondery. Talk
about scoring a touchdown in the media world. The Kelsey

(08:08):
brothers couldn't contain their excitement about this new chapter for
their show, and honestly, neither can we. We couldn't be
more excited to team up with Wondery for the next
phase of New Heights, they said in a joint statement
that had us all cheering. We love this show and
the fan base that has grown with us over the

(08:28):
last two seasons. Wondery understands the shared vision and will
offer a wealth of experience and resources to take us
to New Heights. We are thrilled to start season three,
See you soon ninety two percenters. For those of you
scratching your heads about the term ninety two percenters, let
us fill you in on this adorable inside joke among

(08:52):
New Heights fans. It all started when Jason mentioned on
the show that a quarterback sneak works ninety two percent
of the time when a team needs to gain just
one yard. Now, it's like a secret handshake for their
loyal listeners, and we are totally here for it. The
podcast has been an absolute runaway success, with Edison Research

(09:14):
reporting that New Heights boasts over two point four million
subscribers on YouTube and consistently ranks near the top of
Spotify's and Apple's podcast charts. It's even been crowned the
fourth largest podcast in the US by weekly listeners. Not
too shabby for a couple of football players, right. More

(09:35):
like a touchdown, a field goal, and a safety all
rolled into one. Wandery CEO Jen Sargent couldn't hide her
enthusiasm about bringing the Kelsey Brothers on board, and honestly,
who could blame her? New Heights on the Surface is
a sports podcast, and sports is such a well listened

(09:55):
to category, but it's become a cultural phenomenon. They're all
in and that zeitgeist, she gushed. We couldn't have set
it better ourselves. Jen. Of course, we can't talk about
Travis without mentioning his skyrocketing celebrity status, thanks in no
small part to his relationship with the one and only

(10:15):
Taylor Swift. The couple's names have even been floated as
potential surprise guests at high profile events like the Democratic
National Convention. While that particular appearance didn't materialize this time,
it just goes to show how much of a power
couple they've become. Move Over, Beyonce and jay Z, there's

(10:36):
a new duo in town. Travis is also making waves
in the TV and movie world that have us setting
our DVRs months in advance. In addition to his highly
anticipated Happy gilmore Io cameo, he's set to appear in
American horror story Grotesquery, Spooky, and a remake of Loose

(10:57):
Cannons Action Packed. But wait, there's more. The talented tight
End will be hosting Amazon primes Are You Smarter than
a Celebrity? Later this year, He's already won us over
with an amusing thirty second promo where he takes over
the network control room and delivers dramatic monologs about the

(11:18):
upcoming season like a season pro. Is there anything this
man can't do? We're starting to think not. And let's
not forget his impressive commercial portfolio that has us actually
looking forward to ad breaks. Travis has charmed audiences in
ads for Campbell's Soup Yum, Buffalo Wild Wings Double Yum,

(11:40):
NFL Sunday Ticket Yes Please, and Tide Laundry Detergent because
even football stars need clean jerseys, among others. Seriously, is
there anything this man can't do? We're thinking he might
actually be Superman in disguise. Now we know you're all
dying for more details about Travis and Taylor's relationship, and

(12:01):
trust us, we've got some heartwarming tidbits that'll make you
believe in love all over again. During the New Heights
Podcast season three premiere, which featured none other than Adam
Sandler as a guest, talk about starting with a bang,
Travis couldn't help but gush about his talented girlfriend in

(12:21):
a way that had us all swooning. When Sandler praised Taylor,
calling her what a girl, Travis chimed in with the
sweetest response, you know it, You know it, best performer
out here. Ah talk about supportive boyfriend goals. We're pretty
sure we heard hearts melting all across the country at

(12:42):
that moment. Sandler went on to share how much Taylor
means to his family, especially his daughters Sadie and Sonny,
in a way that had us all nodding in agreement.
He raved about what she has to say, every message,
every melody, and how she helps guys do the right

(13:02):
thing in life. The comedian even revealed that Taylor had
been complimentary of his daughter's film. You are so not
invited to my bat mitzvah. Is there anything this woman
can't do? She just floores my family, floores them, Sandler exclaimed,
admitting that he gets nervous around Taylor because he doesn't

(13:23):
want to blow it with his daughters. Join the club, Adam,
She's lifetime forever, along with the whole world. He added,
she just means so much. We couldn't agree more. And
it's clear that Taylor's impact goes far beyond just her music. Travis,
ever the gentleman and making us fall in love with
him even more, responded with a heartfelt I appreciate that

(13:46):
brother on behalf of Taylor. It's crystal clear that the
couple's relationship has won over fans of all ages, including
Hollywood Royalty. We're pretty sure this is what they mean
by relationship goals. Sandler couldn't resist sharing his family's reaction
when they learned about Travis and Taylor's romance. And it's

(14:09):
basically all of us when we first heard the news.
My god was my family like, yes, look how good
they are together. He's a gentleman and she's having so
much fun with it. Sandler recalled. Any time Taylor's laughing
with you, my whole fucking family's like high fiving. Now

(14:29):
that's what we call a ringing endorsement. We're right there
with you, Sandler, family, high fiving and all. As for Taylor,
she's been enjoying some well deserved down time after wrapping
up the European leg of her Earres tour, and honestly,
we're just happy she's getting a chance to relax. Our

(14:50):
sources tell us that being back home has been a
welcome change of pace for the superstar and we can
totally understand why. It has felt wonderful to be grounded
back home again, and insiders shared it's been grounding to
see friends and family and spend quality time with everyone,
chat and get downloaded on everyone's worlds because she has

(15:13):
been so busy and disconnected. Stars, they're just like us.
Sometimes you just need a good catch up session with
your besties. But don't worry, swifties, Taylor won't be away
from the stage for long. She's set to kick off
a series of concerts in Miami, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Toronto,
and Vancouver this fall, and you can bet your bottom

(15:35):
dollar that Travis will be there to cheer her on
whenever his busy NFL schedule allows. We're already imagining him
in the front row, probably wearing some sweet custom tailor
merch and singing along to every word. Speaking of schedules,
football season is just around the corner, and we're counting

(15:55):
down the days. The Kansas City Chiefs first get aim
of the twenty twenty four to twenty five season is
set for September fifth against the Baltimore Ravens. It's a
rematch of last year's AFC Championship game, and we're sure
Taylor will be watching and supporting her man every step
of the way. Maybe she'll even write a new song

(16:17):
about it, we can dream. In fact, a source close
to the couple previously told people that Taylor is planning
to attend as many Chiefs games as possible during her break.
She's going to try to attend as many games as possible,
the insider revealed. Now that's what we call dedication. We

(16:38):
can already picture her in the VIP box, decked out
in Chiefs gear and cheering louder than anyone else in
the stadium. As for Travis, he's been keeping busier than
a bee in springtime with his various projects, but he
always makes time for Taylor, another source shared with Entertainment Tonight.

(16:59):
There their connection is unlike anything that they've ever experienced before.
Football is definitely still his priority, but so is his relationship.
He makes romantic gestures to show he's thinking of her
when they're apart. Cue the collective awe from everyone reading this.
It's clear that Travis and Taylor are going stronger than ever,

(17:21):
balancing their busy careers with their flourishing relationship like true prose.
From romantic gestures like investing in a race horse, still
not over that, to supporting each other's professional endeavors, this
power couple continues to give us all the fields and
then some. But wait, there's more. Remember when we mentioned

(17:42):
Travis's upcoming TV hosting gig, Well, he's already making waves
with his promo for are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?
The tight End showed off his comedic chops in an
amusing thirty second spot where he takes over the network
control room and delivers dramatic monologues about the upcoming season

(18:05):
like he's been doing it his whole life. Move over,
Ryan Seacrest, there's a new host in town, and let's
not forget about Jason Kelsey because the elder Kelsey brother
is making some big moves of his own. After hanging
up his cleats following a decorated thirteen year career with

(18:25):
the Philadelphia Eagles, Jason is stepping into the broadcasting booth.
He signed a multi year contract with ESPN that will
see him appear on Monday Night Countdown and at halftime.
He'll even be part of ESPN and ABC's coverage of
Super Bowl X in twenty twenty seven, talk about a

(18:45):
power family, Jason's transition from the field to the studio
is something we're all excited to watch. During ESPN's media Day,
he shared his approach to this new chapter. How I'm
going to try and take that to ESCA is I'm
going to continue to try and be authentic with myself.
Everybody I've talked to said, be yourself. Let your personality

(19:09):
show be authentic and honest. People appreciate that. We couldn't
agree more. Jason the former Center, also gave us a
little insight into how he and Travis approach their podcast,
which might explain why it's become such a massive hit.
I think on the podcast you get, first of all,

(19:31):
an organic, loving relationship between two brothers who are honest
with each other, Jason explained, and it comes across we
have good personalities that I think generally audience members appreciate
and like and want to watch and listen to, which
I don't know if agree with, but they're there. Oh, Jason,

(19:54):
trust us, We definitely agree with football season on the horizon,
new me music in the works, Fingers Crossed, and plenty
of exciting projects for both of them. We're sure there
will be no shortage of adorable moments and career milestones
to celebrate. It's like Christmas came early for all of

(20:15):
us Tavis fans. Now, let's not forget about the impact
this power couple is having on their respective fan bases.
Patrick Mahomes, Travis's teammate and close friend, recently shared some
heartwarming insights about Taylor's integration into the Chief's kingdom. During
an interview with Chris Simms for NFL on NBC, Mahomes

(20:37):
couldn't stop gushing about the love story singer meeting Taylor,
realizing how genuine and cool she is. That's been special
to me because, like you said, she's the most famous
person in the world, Mahomes revealed. But here's the kicker
that had us all cheering. She's really interested in football.

(20:58):
She asks a lot of great questionquestions. She's already drawing
up plays, so we might have to put one in
the quarterback shared with a grin. Can you imagine a
tailor's swift designed play on the field. We're here for it.
Mahomes also touched on how Taylor's presence has brought a
whole new audience to the sport. I think it's been

(21:19):
cool to see the girls and the women that have
really embraced watching football, he said as a girl dad himself.
Mahomes shares daughter's Sterling Sky three and son Patrick Braun's
Levaughn Mahomes of the third twenty one months with his
wife Brittany. He added, I know, being a girl dad,

(21:40):
how cool it is for me to see these little girls,
these daughters, and how much they're loving spending time with
their dad watching football. All our hearts are melting. Speaking
of the Mahomes family, did you know they're expecting baby
number three? That's right, Patrick and Brittany are at adding
another little girl to their brood. We can just picture

(22:03):
Tailor babysitting and writing lullabies for the Mahomes kids. How
cute would that be. But let's circle back to Travis
because this man is on fire lately. Remember when we
mentioned his upcoming appearance in American horror story Grotesquerie. While
the buzz around his acting debut is reaching fever pitch

(22:24):
while details are still under wraps, where betting Travis will
bring the same energy and charisma to the screen that
he does to the football field. Who knows, maybe we'll
see Taylor make a surprise cameo. A fan can dream,
And speaking of dreams coming true, let's talk about that
loose Cannon's remake Travis is involved in. While we don't

(22:46):
have all the details yet, the prospect of seeing our
favorite tight end in an action comedy has us more
excited than a kid on Christmas morning? Will he be
doing his own stunts? Will there be shirtless scenes? Sorry
had to ask. Whatever the case, we're sure Travis will
knock it out of the park, or should we say,
score a touchdown on the big screen. Now, we simply

(23:09):
must circle back to that Rhode Island get away, because,
let's be honest, we're all still a little jealous we
didn't score an invite. Sources close to the couple shared
that it wasn't just a random gathering. It was a
pre planned celebration of Tailor concluding the European leg of
her Heiress tour. Talk about a well deserved break. It

(23:34):
has felt wonderful to be grounded back home again, and
insider revealed it's been grounding to see friends and family
and spend quality time with everyone, chat and get downloaded
on everyone's worlds because she has been so busy and disconnected.
We can only imagine the late night chats, impromptu dance parties,

(23:57):
and maybe even some songwriting sessions that down at that
beach house. But the party wasn't just about relaxation. Our
sources tell us that Taylor and Travis used this time
to catch up and reconnect after their busy schedules kept
them apart. She was so happy to reunite with him
and just be together, The Insider shared. It's moments like

(24:20):
these that remind us why we're so invested in this couple.
They're just so darn cute. Now, let's talk about Travis's
growing empire, because this man is seriously diversifying his portfolio.
In addition to his NFL career, budding, acting gigs, and
podcast success, he's also making waves in the world of

(24:42):
horse racing. That's right, folks, Travis Kelcey equestrian extraordinaire. The
news of Travis investing in a racehorse named Swift Delivery.
Could the name be any more perfect? Has sent swifties
and sports fans alike into a frenzy barry erl when
the founder and CEO of Team Valor International couldn't contain

(25:05):
his excitement about Travis joining their ownership group. It's very exciting,
Irwin gushed. I met him at the Kentucky Darby and
got to spend some time with him and stuff, and
we talked about horses and everything. When this horse came
to light and it was owned by one of my
partners already with the name, I figured this has got
to be a no brainer. We're betting Taylor was over

(25:27):
the moon when she heard about this romantic gesture. I mean,
a race horse named after her. That's some next level
boyfriend material right there. But wait, there's more. Jason Kelsey, ever,
the supportive big brother, couldn't resist chiming in on the
Horsey news. He took to social media with a playful

(25:47):
nod to Taylor's music writing. But does it have an
enlarged heart? Can this horse do it with a broken heart?
At kelchie Oh, Jason never change. As we look ahead
to the upcoming football season, we can't help but wonder
how many Chiefs games Taylor will be able to attend.
A source close to the couple previously shared with people

(26:10):
that she's planning to be Travis's number one cheerleader whenever possible,
She's going to try to attend as many games as possible,
the Insider revealed. We're already picturing Taylor in the VIP box,
decked out in Chiefs gear and probably teaching every one
around her some new cheers. And let's not forget about

(26:31):
Travis's upcoming hosting gig on Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?
The promos for the show have us in stitches, with
Travis showing off his comedic timing and charm. Could a
full time TV career be in his future? Only time
will tell, but we're betting he'll be just as successful

(26:52):
in front of the camera as he is on the field.
As we wrap up this epic update on all things
Travis and Taylor, we can't help but feel excited for
what the future holds for this power couple. From Travis's
