As Taylor Swift‘s boyfriend — and now, fiancé — Travis Kelce‘s had the rare chance to hear her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, before most anyone else.

And on the latest episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast posted Wednesday (Aug. 27), the Kansas City Chiefs tight end confirmed that he’s been “dancing all throughout the house” while playing the Oct. 3-slated project on repeat. “I’m gonna go ahead and just keep poking the bear to all the Swifties,” he said on the show. “I keep listening to this album.”


“I know she 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,” he continued. “It’s just so much fun to listen to, man. I’ve been dancing all throughout the house.”

When asked by the retired Philadelphia Eagles center which song on Showgirl is his favorite, Travis named track No. 3: “Opalite.” “At least right now, every time it comes on, I always catch myself [dancing],” he added, doing a little shoulder shimmy.

The new episode comes two weeks after Swift made a cameo on New Heights to share details about Showgirl in her debut appearance on the podcast, which premiered one day after she announced the album. This week’s installment of the show comes one day after she and Travis revealed their internet-breaking engagement, which the Kelce brothers didn’t get to chat about this time as the new episode was taped before the big announcement.

Speaking of Swift’s New Heights appearance, though, Travis did confirm that the Eras Tour headliner did use their on-camera conversation as a chance to drop some Easter eggs. That piece of information will definitely capture the attention of Swifties, as many of them were quick to speculate that Swift had snuck in teasers about her future ventures — such as potentially headlining Super Bowl 2026, for instance — into the episode.

While the Happy Gilmore 2 star remained tight-lipped about what exactly Swift revealed on the show — to Jason’s frustration — he shared, “I know Tay walked away absolutely ecstatic and excited and happy that she came on here and had her first podcast experience with me and you, man.”

“She walked away, like, flying around,” Travis continued. “She was having so much fun getting to tell everyone about the album and obviously dropping a few Easter eggs and seeing if anyone caught on.”
