New Heightsepisodes are football-focused at their core, but have expanded to cover a variety of topics such as the Kelce’s personal and professional lives. The Kansas City Chiefs star and retired Philadelphia Eagles center also feature notable guests, too.
“I feel like I remember when they started doing it and it just felt like something that sports fans maybe watch and I’m one of them,” Taylor recalled of the early episodes ofNew Heights. “I’m a diehard NFL football fan, so I would watch clips and episodes of theirs.”

The actor said that he “felt like it was just for diehard NFL fans” at the start, but has taken note of the brothers' ability to attract a range of listeners with their diverse content over the years. “Now, it’s just taken over.”
Tay added, “Yeah, they’ve really figured out a way to bring everyone into it. That’s really cool.”
Doubling down on his initial interest in teaming up with Travis and Jason for a collaborative episode, Taylor reemphasized, “So yeah, definitely would not say no to that.”

In addition to celebrity guests, the couple likes to feature real people as well.
“I think the episodes that have meant the most to us have been just real people living these extraordinary, unthinkable lives,” Taylor shared, explaining, “Just getting to sit down with them and offer them a safe place to tell their stories and just be the ear to listen to them.”
The Launters would have a shared topic of discussion should they team up with the Kelces down the road:Taylor Swift. The pop superstar, who went public with her relationship with Travis in October 2023, has had a longtime friendship with Taylor and was previously featured in her “I Can See You” music video in 2023 from her albumSpeak Now (Taylor’s Version).
In fact, Swift wasalready a topic of discussiononan episode ofThe Squeezein July 2023. During the show, the actor called the singer a “genius” and expressed his admiration for her, while his wife described her as a “mastermind.”
