Taylor Swift definitely dropped some major Easter eggs on New Heights a couple of weeks ago — but they’re so top-secret, even one of the podcast’s hosts doesn’t know what they are.
In a hilarious moment from the latest installment of the show — which arrived Wednesday (Aug. 27) following the pop star’s cameo on the episode prior — Jason Kelce pressed his little brother for details about Swift’s new album, The Life of a Showgirl. On this week’s show, Travis Kelce confirmed that his new fiancée definitely planted some clues when she was on, but he wouldn’t say what they were.
“I’m knee-deep right now in the Swiftie Easter egg hunting,” the former Philadelphia Eagles center told Travis on the new episode. “You know I am, because I keep sending you and Tay stuff I keep reading. I know you guys don’t want to read it, but I’m freaking gonna make you guys read it, because I’m interested. You guys aren’t giving me f—ing anything, which is pissing me off even more.”
All Jason got in response, however, was amused laughter from Travis. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end also remained coy when the elder Kelce started pressing him about objects in his background setup, which fans online have theorized could be possible clues about Showgirl.
“What’s that Pinocchio doing behind you? What’s his cause? Is it still there?” Jason urged, to which Travis simply replied, “Aren’t they Disney movies? Disney characters?”
Though the Happy Gilmore 2 star didn’t spoil any of Swift’s clues, he did tease Swifties — Jason included — about the album in general. “I know [Taylor] mentioned that it’s gonna be a lot more pop beats, but it’s just still so poetic in her melodies and her references and stuff,” Travis gushed. “It’s just so much fun to listen to, man. I’ve been dancing all throughout the house.”
The new episode arrived just one day after Travis and Swift announced their engagement on Instagram, sending the internet into a frenzy with photos of their garden proposal and the hitmaker’s massive diamond ring. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” they captioned the post.
Just two weeks before that, Swift made her debut on New Heights, on which she shared details about The Life of a Showgirl as well as talked about her life post-Eras Tour, purchasing her masters and falling in love with Travis. While describing her favorite things about her now-fiancé, she called him a “human exclamation point” — and on the latest New Heights, Jason said he’s definitely “stealing” that turn of phrase.
“She’s incredibly brilliant, she’s very smart, she’s very funny, all of these things,” Jason said of his future sister-in-law. “When she said you were a human exclamation point, I was like, ‘Goddamn.’ Like, she is f–king good with words.”
