Is the episode of Swifties’ wildest dreams on its way?

Taylor Swift fans are convinced the pop star is set to make her debut on her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast next month.

The speculation started after the NFL star and his brother, Jason Kelce, teased the Jan. 2, 2025, episode of their show.

The co-hosts told listeners that a “very special” guest will be on air that day — one fans have long been “demanding.”

“We’ve been waiting on this one for a long time,” Jason, 37, said as Travis, 35, grinned.

“I can’t tell if that’s a Taylor smile or not,” one social media user wrote via X, with another pointing out that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was “trying so hard to [play it] cool.”

A third gushed, “We know who it is!”

Others, however, speculated that basketball players Caitlin Clark and LeBron James were possible options for the secret guest.

The Kelce siblings launched their podcast in 2022, with “New Heights” skyrocketing in popularity after Travis began dating Swift, 35, the following year.

The athlete often gushes about his girlfriend while recording episodes — but did not mention her Wednesday.

Travis did, however, reveal his Christmas plans after spending Thanksgiving with both his and Swift’s families.

He will be on the football field on Dec. 25 as his team plays the Pittsburgh Steelers at an away game in the pop star’s native Pennsylvania.
