Taylor Swift is in her podcaster era.
The pop superstar made her highly anticipated debut as a guest on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's "New Heights" podcast on Wednesday, Aug. 13. As the episode began, her website updated with an album cover and release date of Oct. 3.

Travis Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, have hosted the "New Heights" podcast since 2022, but this was the first time Swift has been a guest on the show since she and Travis began their highly publicized romance in 2023.
Swift chose Kelce's podcast as a platform to reveal her next album and usher in a new era, rather than do so on her own social media channels or at a live event. The singer has been strategic about when and where she reveals new music in the past, and she announced her most recent album, "The Tortured Poets Department," on stage at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Before that, Swift revealed her 2022 album "Midnights" in a speech at the MTV Video Music Awards.
