Travis Kelce caught fans by surprise on Thursday night with a surprise announcement about a mystery guest on his New Heights podcast – with the episode set to be broadcast the day he marries Taylor Swift.
The world is watching Madison Square Garden with Swift and Kelce set to hold an intimate rehearsel dinner on Thursday night before hosting a party with around 1,000 guests at the venue in the heart of Manhattan on Friday night.
But the NFL star appears to have another surprise up his sleeve on the big day, via the popular podcast he hosts with older brother Jason.
The New Heights social media accounts announced on Thursday night: ‘We’ve got a very special guest making their New Heights debut… NEW EPISODE TOMORROW.’
Fans were stunned and speculation erupted immediately over who the guest could be. Some speculated that it might be Swift’s brother Austin, her father Scott or even the singer Ed Sheeran, who is in New York ahead of the big day and good friends with Swift.
And yet one of the producers of the show ramped up the drama by tweeting 40 minutes after the announcement: ‘None of you have guessed right.’

‘Hmmmm this must be huge. Can’t wait,’ one fan wrote.
Another joked: ‘We will be kinda busy tomorrow but thanks for letting us know!’
One of the directors of New Heights, Jake Chatzky, fueled the speculation further by retweeting the announcement with multiple ‘eyes-wide-open’ emojis.
Eagle-eyed fans, however, noticed one clue in the preview image shared by New Heights.
Kelce appears to be wearing the same blue checkered shirt he was pictured in during his bachelor party.
It is not known exactly who every member of his celebration party was, other than his brother also being there.
The couple have transformed MSG in the days leading up to the ceremony while celebrities from across the world have flown into a sweltering New York.
As the Daily Mail previously reported, the dress code for the rehearsal dinner is ‘cocktail attire’, a source said, with only family members and close friends expected to be in attendance at MSG’s smaller Infosys Theater.
Then, it appears the three-time Super Bowl winner Kelce will begin the biggest day of his life by dropping the new podcast.
Episodes are usually streamed around 9:30am eastern but the time this show is dropping was not confirmed in the surprise announcement.
This week, Kelce welcomed his friend and fellow NFL player George Kittle onto the podcast – days after Swift jokingly dedicated a performance of her song ‘Love Story’ to him at the ‘Tight End University’ event Kelce and Kittle co-host.
