Taylor Swift’s appearance on Travis and Jason Kelce’s ‘New Heights’ podcast set a Guinness World Record, it has been revealed.
Fans went wild as the global pop sensation sat for an over-two-hour interview with her Chiefs tight beau and the former Eagles star.
And as Swift and Kelce announced to their fans that they are getting married, it was also revealed on Tuesday that their ‘New Heights’ episode set a Guinness World Record for the most concurrent views for a podcast on YouTube, as it drew a total of 1.3million viewers on August 13.
The video now has more than 20million views on YouTube.
The new record was announced by the Guinness World Record website on Tuesday – 13 days after the episode with Swift premiered.
The 1.3million concurrent viewers garnered by Swift’s appearance on the show also broke YouTube’s record for the most live-streamed podcast hosted on the platform – a mark previous held by Donald Trump’s appearance on ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ last fall.

The ‘New Heights’ stream was so popular that Swifties ended up crashing the YouTube stream at the 1 hour, 44 minute mark.
The New Heights YouTube channel also saw a spike in subscriber numbers. The channel began at 2.85million subs before the episode began. By the next morning, the subscriber count sat at 2.97million, and now has 3.06million subscribers.
The appearance saw the normally tight-lipped Swift go into depth on a variety of topics, including the process of buying back her masters.
Swift cried during the show as she explained the emotional process of her reclaiming her music, while she also revealed the album cover of her forthcoming record, ‘The Life of a Showgirl.’
The singer also showed off her impressive football knowledge as she gave surprise shoutouts to Jared Goff and Xavier Worthy.
And she also sent fans into a frenzy as some came away from the episode convinced she was teasing a performance at next year’s Super Bowl halftime show.
Swift made a point to bring up her new obsession with baking sourdough, and San Francisco – where Super Bowl LX will be hosted – is known for its history of baking the bread.
The 49ers’ mascot is even called Sourdough Sam.
Swift shared the cover of her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, which is out on October 3
She also showed off her impressive knowledge of football, which she of course has gotten into since dating Kelce
Swift and Kelce also talked about their relationship during the episode, in which Kelce called himself ‘the luckiest man in the world.’
In turn, the singer gushed about the NFL star, calling him ‘a vibe booster in everyone’s life that he’s in. He’s a human exclamation point.’
After a high-profile NFL offseason for the couple last year, they kept a low-profile this year until her ‘New Heights’ appearance as they split their time between Manhattan and Boca Raton, Florida.
And the couple dropped a bombshell on Tuesday when they announced they were engaged.
‘Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,’ Swift captioned a series of sweet engagement photos.
