Travis Kelce has added to the pre-wedding buzz by announcing a surprise guest on his "New Heights" podcast, which is scheduled to be released on the same day he is expected to marry Taylor Swift. The NFL star and his brother, Jason Kelce, host the popular podcast, and the announcement has sent fans into a frenzy of speculation.
The official "New Heights" social media accounts revealed on Thursday night that a "very special guest" would be making their debut on the show. The episode is slated for release on Friday, the same day that Kelce and Swift are reportedly set to tie the knot in New York City.
The world is anticipating the couple's wedding, with events reportedly taking place at Madison Square Garden. Reports indicate an intimate rehearsal dinner was scheduled for Thursday night, followed by a larger celebration with approximately 1,000 guests on Friday.
Initial fan theories about the mystery guest ranged from Swift's family members, such as her brother Austin or father Scott, to singer Ed Sheeran, a known friend of Swift's who is also in New York. Adding to the intrigue, one of the podcast's producers tweeted that none of the public guesses were correct, further intensifying the mystery.
Jake Chatzky, a director for "New Heights," retweeted the announcement with wide-eyed emojis, signaling the significance of the upcoming reveal. Some observant fans noted that Kelce appeared to be wearing the same blue checkered shirt in the preview image as he did during his bachelor party, a detail that offers a subtle clue.
While the exact time the podcast episode will be released was not confirmed, typical "New Heights" episodes are streamed around 9:30 a.m. Eastern time. The announcement comes shortly after Kelce hosted fellow NFL player George Kittle on the podcast. Kittle had previously confirmed his invitation to the wedding and shared that the couple had requested no wedding gifts from guests.
The wedding festivities have transformed parts of Madison Square Garden, with celebrities reportedly flying into New York for the occasion. The dress code for the rehearsal dinner was described as "cocktail attire," with an intimate gathering of family and close friends.
