Taylor Swift’s appearance on Travis and Jason Kelce’s podcast, New Heights, quite literally broke the Internet.

At an hour and 44ish minutes in, the YouTube stream stopped working.

As a Swiftie, I started clowning and assumed that the “glitch” was intentional and the stream would come back on with Swift announcing a documentary or a double album.

Sadly, I think it was just a real glitch that had YouTube engineers working overtime.

I’m honestly surprised that the episode was over two hours. I was really expecting it to be 45 minutes TOPS.

In my mind, there was absolutely no way Ms. Tree Paine was going to allow her star client to speak into a Shure mic for longer than absolutely necessary.

If there’s one thing we know about Swift, it’s that she loves to surprise us and give us the gift of a two-hour podcast, where at least 20 minutes was spent discussing her obsession with sourdough and her boyfriend’s desire to save an otter in the wild.

I swear if we don’t get an Animal Planet show where Kelce is saving otters by June 2026 I will RIOT.
