Taylor Swift finally made her New Heights debut. And honestly, Travis and Jason Kelce got way more than they bargained for. The pop icon didn’t just chat about her new album or drop hints about her and Travis’ romance (though, of course, she did that too). Nope, she also decided to school us all on her… unique early understanding of NFL rules. Her take on how QBs like Josh Allen and Jared Goff actually play the game? Ah, and it’s absolutely priceless!

But here’s the twist: Swift isn’t just laughing at her old misconceptions. She’s dead serious about leveling up her football IQ. In fact, she’s already studying coverages like it’s her next big tour setlist. And if you think she’s joking about trading the stage for the analyst booth? Well, she’s got a timeline for that, too. Buckle up, because this might be Swift’s wildest era yet. Turns out, Taylor Swift used to watch football like it was some kind of QB duel straight out of the Wild West. Sitting beside Travis Kelce during her New Heights podcast debut, she dropped this priceless admission. “I used to think both offenses were on the field at the same time. Like Jared Goff is here, and Josh Allen is here… and then they both blow a whistle and then they go at each other.”

Chiefs TE, Travis, immediately burst out laughing, shaking his head in disbelief while Jason’s signature wheeze-laugh crackled through the speakers. Well, Swift wasn’t just there to roast her old self. She came to spill some real tea, too. Like how New Heights basically played matchmaker for her and Travis. “This podcast got me a boyfriend ever since Travis decided to use it as a personal dating app two years ago,” she joked, referencing his failed (but legendary) attempt to shoot his shot with a friendship bracelet at her Eras Tour. She even called his move a “wild, romantic gesture,” admitting it felt straight out of one of her love songs.

And yeah, she’s learned a lot since then, thanks to Travis giving her crash courses in coverage and play calls. But the best part? She’s totally unbothered by the noise around their relationship. “It’s hard to hurt my feelings at this point,” she shrugged, adding that she treats her energy like a “luxury item.”

That’s not all, there’s more. Just when you thought her NFL takes couldn’t get any wilder, Swift casually dropped a timeline for her next career move… one that might just surprise football fans.

Taylor Swift eyes an unexpected career pivot

Turns out Taylor Swift’s football education goes way beyond cheering from the suite. As Travis and Jason dissected defensive schemes on New Heights, Swift, who’d been quietly listening, suddenly cut in with her now-viral analyst timeline, sparking instant laughter from the Kelce brothers. I think I continue to learn… somebody else that even knows what those coverages are. Yeah. I’m not ready to be an analyst right now, but give me 16 months.”

The kicker? She might actually do it. This is the same woman who taught herself to engineer songs during the Folklore sessions and memorized a 3.5-hour concert setlist – when Swift commits, she commits. “She asks questions like a coach reviewing game tape,” Travis told The Athletic last November. “First it was ‘What’s offsides?’ Now she’s spotting Cover-2 blitzes.

Her NFL crash course isn’t the only surprise she revealed. Between football talk, Swift unveiled The Life of a Showgirl, written secretly during the Eras Tour. “This album is my backstage pass to the chaos,” she said, describing lyrics that mirror her whirlwind year – from romance to the media frenzy.
