Taylor Swift has officially become the Supreme Empress of Her Own Discography and guess who’s in the corner, fangirling with a protein shake in one hand and a Super Bowl ring in the other? TRAVIS. FREAKIN’. KELCE.
On the latest episode of the “New Heights” podcast (aka the Kelce Brother Kiki Klub), Travis and his football-turned-podcast partner Jason invited none other than basketball Yeti-turned-DJ Shaquille O’Neal. Yes, it was sports meets sports meets music royalties, and the testosterone levels were astronomical.
Shaq, bless his vinyl-loving heart, fired up the speakers and casually dropped Taylor’s “I Knew You Were Trouble” like it was 2012 again and we were all wearing galaxy leggings. Cue the brotherly grins — Jason and Travis lit up like two dudes watching their team win AND their fantasy football lineup hit simultaneously.
Then Travis, looking like a golden retriever who just learned his girlfriend now owns a record label and possibly the moon, declared to the world:
“Shout out to Tay Tay. Just got that song back, too. Just bought all her music back so it’s finally hers, man. I appreciate that, dog. Love you, big dog.”
Did this NFL man just call the international pop princess “big dog”? YES. YES HE DID. And honestly? Iconic. This is the kind of raw, poetic support Shakespeare WISHES he could’ve written.
ICYMI, Taylor bought her masters back from Shamrock Capital (aka The Vault Goblins™ who were renting out her songs like Airbnbs), finally ending her era of musical indentured servitude. She re-recorded half her discography like a glitter-covered phoenix rising from a pile of Grammy nominations, and now? SHE OWNS IT ALL. Every guitar twang. Every ex-boyfriend ballad. Every breathy bridge. HERS.
So if you see Travis flexing a little harder than usual this week, it’s not just gym gains — it’s boyfriend pride. His lady owns her entire empire now. He’s not just dating a pop star…
He’s dating the CEO of Feelings, Breakups, and Billboard #1s Inc.
And somewhere, Scooter Braun just dropped his oat milk latte.
