While the University of Cincinnati Police do not know if Taylor Swift will be present for Travis and Jason Kelce‘s New Heights live show in their former school, an officer revealed they are operating as if she will be.
On April 11, the Kelce brothers and former Bearcats will take their highly successful podcast to a live audience at the Fifth Third Arena on Campus. With Swift back on American soil, fans wonder if the 14-time Grammy winner will be attending.
‘Unfortunately, I do not know,’ a member of the UC police told Local 12/WKRC-TV. ‘I still don’t know, that’s an honest answer.’
‘However, we have not been told that,’ Lieutenant Gutierrez added. ‘That’s one of the reasons for the preparation. We are preparing as if she is going to be here. However, we do not know, so we would rather be prepared than not.’
The live show was originally set for Nippert Stadium, where the Kelces used to play in college. However, the brothers announced on Wednesday that the show will be moved indoors due to weather conditions.

The Kelces announced Orlando Brown Jr. and Joe Burrow as special guests for Thursday
In their announcement, the NFL brothers joked: ‘The intern who forgot to check the weather app has been reassigned.’ Jason’s wife, Kylie, was quick to respond with a comment, writing: ‘Plot twist… @jason.kelce is the intern.’
With the show in Cincinnati, the brothers invited fellow football stars from the local Bengals.
The Kelce’s first announced Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow as a special guest. On Tuesday, they added offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. to the lineup.
Brown previously played with Travis in Kansas City and won the Super Bowl against Jason and the Eagles in 2023.
Their first live podcast is another monumental step in the Kelces’ ever-growing program. After starting the podcast in 2022, New Heights has lived up to its name as it has seen much success.
One year since the first episode went live, the podcast grew bigger when Travis began dating Swift. On an episode over the summer, the three-time Super Bowl winner admitted that he failed to give the pop star a friendship bracelet with his phone number.

New Heights currently sits second in Spotify and Apple’s charts for sports podcasts
Nevertheless, the pair started dating in September 2023 and dominated headlines around the NFL.
The relationship added another layer to their conversations while they continued to provide their weekly breakdown of all things NFL. The podcast became something that fans waited for every Wednesday, especially in light of Travis’ most recent Super Bowl victory with the Chiefs.
New Heights is currently second in Spotify’s sports podcast charts, behind Mind The Game with LeBron James and JJ Redick. It also sits second on Apple Podcast behind Barstool Sports’ Pardon My Take.
