“New Heights” launched in 2022 and is currently distributed by Wave Sports + Entertainment. The podcast has reached new heights of popularity over the last year thanks in part to Travis’ high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift , which he has often talked about on the podcast.
In fact, it was on “New Heights” that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end first revealed in July 2023 that he had hoped to pass on a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it to Swift during her Eras Tour show at the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. The couple began dating sometime after the concert and went public in September 2023.

Travis’ career has skyrocketed since dating the “Fortnight” singer. The Super Bowl champion is set to make his acting debut in Ryan Murphy’s new horror series Grotesquerie , which premieres on FX in September, and host Amazon Prime Video’s new game show, Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?
Last week, Adam Sandler confirmed that Travis will have a cameo in his upcoming movie, Happy Gilmore 2 , after Travis angled for a part on a May episode of “New Heights.”
“Travis has … he mentioned it, so we have a nice something for Travis,” Sandler said on the August 20 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon .
The actor gushed over Kelce, adding, “He’s a very nice guy. You guys would love him in real life. What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He’s a stud and he’s so funny.”
