Taylor Swift has once again shown how powerful she is, this time in the world of podcasts. Her latest participation on the New Heights podcast, which is hosted by her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, and his brother Jason Kelce, has broken all previous records for the show. The episode, which came out on Wednesday, had more than 13 million views on YouTube in its first 24 hours, making it the most popular episode in the podcast’s history.
A Power That Goes Beyond Genres
The New Heights podcast usually has hundreds of thousands of listeners, but when Swift was a special guest, the number of people who listened shot up. The article says that the pop star’s “genre-defying power” is shown by the fact that she was able to get so many people to listen to a sports-focused podcast.
The broadcast was so popular that it reached 1.3 million simultaneous users, which caused the YouTube stream to fail after around an hour and 44 minutes. The podcast team admitted that there was an outage on X (previously Twitter), saying it was due to “technical difficulties.” Fans were able to keep watching on other sites, such as Apple, Amazon, Spotify, and Usery, which was a good thing. The episode also helped the podcast get more subscribers on YouTube, where the number of subscribers went from 2.85 million to 2.91 million after Swift’s appearance.
During the episode, Swift talked about her new album, her relationship with Kelce, and the emotional process she went through to get her masters back.
The Life of a Showgirl is a new album that has been revealed.
Swift made a big news during the podcast: her long-awaited next album, The Life of a Showgirl, is coming out. The album will come out on October 3 and will have 12 songs, one of which is a duet with pop diva Sabrina Carpenter on the title tune.
Swift said of her concept for the new project, “I wanted melodies that were so catchy that you were almost angry at them and lyrics that were just as clear, but sharp, focused, and completely intentional.” She said that the album came from “the most infectiously joyful, wild, and dramatic place I was in my life.” Swift also said that there wouldn’t be any extra premium tracks, which makes this her shortest album so far.
