Apparently, Travis Kelce and iconic popstar Taylor Swift have been making headlines for a while now. There were rumors all around linking them up. However, there was no concrete proof of the fact that the two popular icons were actually together romantically. But, good news for the fans! It seems there isn’t anything there after all. The reason New Heights blew up and beat some of the most popular and successful podcasts in terms of popularity is because Travis Kelce recently divulged a few details about his ‘rumored’ relationship with Taylor Swift on the New Heights podcast.

Travis Kelce made an honest confession about the rumored affair that the two have been having. He provided a short insight into their ‘relationship’. Considering the popularity of both of these personalities, the news spread like wildfire. Just like that, the New Heights podcast took over and surpassed podcasts like The Joe Rogan Experience and ‘Call Her Daddy’ in terms of popularity. But all’s well that ends well: Joe Rogan’s podcast might have been overtaken in the US, but there is good news for the UFC commentator in the UK.

There is no reason for Joe Rogan fans to feel bad about the fact that the New Heights podcast has taken over The Joe Rogan Experience podcast in terms of popularity. The reason behind that is its surging popularity in the UK. There was a time when the JRE podcast was the single most popular podcast in both the US and the UK.

While the $120 million-worth UFC commentator may have lost his top spot in the US, he is still the proud host of the most popular podcast in the UK. Now, the question that everyone is asking is whether the success that New Heights is seeing is sustainable or just a temporary boost. The Joe Rogan Experience, for example, is a really popular podcast that has some of the biggest names in the world joining Rogan as his guest. With the 2000 episode milestone in the rearview mirror, the astounding 11 million per episode following is something difficult to compete with.
