Travis Kelce just casually referenced ‘most embarrassing moment of Taylor Swift’s life’ to more than a million people
The moment that all Swifties have been waiting for has finally arrived.
Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce 'broke the internet' earlier this week by announcing their joint podcast appearance, during which she also revealed that she is releasing a 12th studio album, titled 'The Life of a Showgirl'.
In a very rare move, the singer sat down for an entire two hours with the Kansas City Chiefs star and his brother, Jason Kelce, on their New Heights podcast.
And ever since the episode dropped at midnight BST, fans have been picking out their favourite moments, as clips circulate on social media.

One moment in particular that left fans shocked was actually in the introduction, where American football centre Jason introduced Taylor as the guest on the podcast.
He went for a very lengthy welcome, showering the pop star with praise and listing all of her best achievements.
The sports star shouted: "Last December, she wrapped up the Eras Tour which spanned 149 shows across 51 cities, five continents, the most attended tour of all time."
Then, Travis grabbed the mic from his girlfriend and laughed as he repeated: "Of all time!"
Now, this might seem like nothing, but some fans think he was referring to one of the moments in her career that wasn't so enjoyable.
Of course, we're talking about the infamous moment with Kanye West at the 2009 MTV VMA Awards.
For those who aren't familiar, the rapper jumped up onto the stage after Taylor won the award for Best Music Video, interrupting her acceptance speech and cruelly stating Beyoncé should have won - for which he later apologised to Taylor.
Kanye said: "Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time," which led some fans to believe that Travis's comment was a dig at the rapper.
One user wrote on X (formerly Twitter): "Millions of people just watched Travis Kelce casually reference the most embarrassing moment of Taylor Swift’s life."
While a second eagle-eyed fan added: "Did anyone else catch that Travis repeated “Of all time” after the list of Taylor’s accomplishments in the exact same way that Kanye West repeated “Of all time” after he grabbed the microphone from Taylor and interrupted her award-acceptance speech?"
What else did we learn from Taylor Swift’s new podcast appearance?
How Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got together
In their first joint interview together, the couple got into the story of how they met and revealed some sweet, never-heard-before details.
For those who aren't familiar with the story, the NFL star famously used his podcast to publicly declare he wanted to date Taylor.
It came after he failed to meet her at her Eras tour show at Arrowhead Stadium, his team's home stadium.
Taylor gushed: "It was such a wild, romantic gesture to just be like, ‘I want to date you'. But he “never did any proper logistical planning. [He thought] because he knows the elevator lady, that he could talk to her about just getting down to my dressing room. That’s how it works in 1973!”
She added: “This felt more like I was in an 80s John Hughes movie and he was just standing outside of my window with a boombox being like, ‘I want to date you! Do you want to go on a date with me? I made you a friendship bracelet’ … I was like, if this guy isn’t crazy – which is a big if – this is sort of what I’ve been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.”
Taylor sent her mother and brother to buy back her music
Back in May, Taylor famously bought back the rights to her first six albums, ending a long-running battle over the ownership of her music.
And during the podcast, she revealed exactly how it happened - by sending her mother and brother to meet with the owners, rather than a fancy legal team.
She explained: "“[These are] my handwritten diary entries from my whole life; these are the songs I wrote about every phase of my life’ … Rather than send lawyers or management in a big crew, I sent my mom and my brother.
"They told them what this meant for me, they told them the whole story of all the times we’ve tried to buy it, all the times it’s fallen through.”
When she found out the move was successful, she 'very dramatically hit the floor' and 'bawled her eyes out'.
