Taylor Swift is a 92 Percenter!
The pop superstar references her fiancé Travis Kelce‘s “New Heights” podcast in a song on her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, which she released on Friday, October 3.
The upbeat, ’70s-inspired ninth track, “Wood,” finds Swift, 35, acknowledging she had bad luck in previous relationships but no longer has to worry about her fortune now that she has found The One in the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 35.
“Girls, I don’t need to catch the bouquet / To know a hard rock is on the way,” she sings. “And, baby, I’ll admit I’ve been a little superstitious / The curse on me was broken by your magic wand / Seems to me that you and me, we make our own luck / New heights of manhood / I ain’t gotta knock on wood.”
Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, have cohosted “New Heights” since September 2022, but the podcast surged in popularity after the three-time Super Bowl champion started dating Swift in the summer of 2023.
The 14-time Grammy winner made her “New Heights” debut in August, setting a Guinness World Record for the most concurrent YouTube views for a podcast with a whopping 1.3 million. (The video now has more than 23 million views.)

During the episode, Swift spoke candidly about her relationship with Travis, her record-breaking Eras Tour and buying back her master recordings after a high-profile dispute in addition to announcing the release of The Life of a Showgirl.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to hear every single song on here, so I know they’re all 12 bangers,” Travis teased to listeners at the time. “It’s a lot more upbeat, and it’s a lot more, like, fun pop, like, excitement. … I think it’s a complete 180 from a lot of the songs on [Swift’s 2024 double album, The Tortured Poets Department].”
Taylor Swift’s debut appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast did not disappoint. The pop star, 35, joined the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 35, and his cohost brother, Jason Kelce, during the Wednesday, August 13, episode of the podcast. “This podcast has done a lot for me,” Swift, 35, said in the […]
The NFL star added, “It’s just so much fun to listen to, man. I’ve been dancing throughout the house.”
Later that month, the couple shared even more news: They are engaged after two years together.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” Swift captioned photos of Travis proposing in a flower-filled garden in the backyard of his home.
A source recently told Us Weekly exclusively that the “Lover” singer has already started planning her wedding to the football player, though they are still in the “very early” stages.
“They don’t want to have a big, over-the-top wedding with a ton of people. It will be private with friends and family, not a ton of celebrities or random people,” the source shared. “It will be meaningful, and they will be surrounded by people who are special to them.”
The source added, “Despite their celebrity, they are down-to-earth and normal. They aren’t the flashy people who want a $20 million fantasy wedding. She doesn’t want the pomp and circumstance. It will be more intimate.”
The Life of a Showgirl is out now.
