“Life is more excited,” Swift said in response, smiling and looking at Travis.
He said that this is also the opposite of its final album due to the number of tracks – clarifying that it would include only 12 tracks and it is that.
Swift said that the album tells the story of the “curtain” of his time on the tour. He said that color orange was chosen because it is a color she likes and feels that she feels energetic.
Swift says that podcast ‘Got Me e Boyfriend’
At the beginning of the show, Swift was asked why he chose to appear on the podcast, which mainly fulfills sports fans.
“This podcast has done a lot for me. This podcast found me a lover,” he said, accusing the Travis of using the podcast, he met him before he met him as his “personal dating app”. “
Before they start dating – or even found – Travis became famous on the podcast about participating in a concert of Swift and became unhappy when they could not meet. He talked about making her a beaded friendship bracelet, who was popular during the ERAS tour, and said that she wanted to give her phone number.
He said that the clip, which had gone viral, almost felt as if he was standing outside my apartment, holding a boom box saying, ‘I want to go on a date with you “.
She said that it was exactly when she was “writing songs, I was a teenager since I was with me”.
“It was wild, but it did it … he is a good type of crazy,” he said, called his lover “a human anxiety point”.
She said that she was circling back to the podcast show as a way to say thanks.
Male game fans joking
The episode began with a scream by a former Philadelphia Eagles player of Jason’s former Philadelphia Eagles player, which runs through a long list of his brother’s girlfriend’s achievements, including the only artist who won the Grammy’s album four times.

She then went on a fun to appear on a podcast that usually fulfills American football fans.
“As we all know, you know, you have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast,” he said.
“I think we all know that if the male game fans want in their places and on their screen, then it’s more for me,” he did a dedapan, looking at the camera directly.
The presence of Swift in the major games of Canasus City caused a frenzy over the years. In 2023, when the pair started dating and they started making appearances, the game camera looked for the singer – cut it more than a dozen times during some games.
NFL promoted his performance in heavy sports on social media, posted videos about singers and his celebrities and tweeted that often with him.
Some football fans were not happy with the new focus.
Swift was provoked by NFL fans during his appearance on the Jumbotron Screen at Super Bowl last February, including the headlines and even social media posts by President Donald Trump.
But despite criticism, Jason assured her that she was “the most requested guest on the podcast”. Other recent guests of the show include Basketball stars Kettlelin Clarke, Shakile O’Neel and Lebron James, and actors Brad Pitt, Ben Ext, Bill Murray and Adam Sandler.
How he crafts his hidden Easter eggs
He also talked about all those methods to use Easter eggs to tease his music and found hidden clues for fans.
He said that there are rules for hidden clues in his music and performance.
He said, “I am never going to plant Easter eggs, which connects with my personal life. It is always going to go back to my music,” he said, joking, some fans have become so good in decoding him that it has almost become a “zodiac cycle killer”.
The hidden clue is “something that you don’t know that I am asking for a specific reason, but you will go back and live like ‘Oh My God’!”
He said that his favorite example was a speech when he received a respected doctorate.
“I put so many lyrical Easter eggs in that speech that when the Midnights album came out, after that, the fan loved, ‘The whole speech was an Easter egg!” ,
He talked about the love of his numbers and dates. “I love mathematics items,” he said, calling 13 as his favorite number. Travis, she said, is “87” – that number she wears on her jersey during the game – and she noted that 13 plus 87 equal to 100.
Some of his hidden messages are so complicated, he said, he is “reverse, backwards in Braille”.
He added one of his biggest clues to fans at the conclusion of the ERAS tour.
Every performance of the tour ended leaving the stage through a lift with Swift. But for the final show, she took the stairs and passed through an orange door-she admitted that she was one of her Easter eggs.
“I wanted to give a little unconscious indication that I could end the ERAS tour era, but I can enter a new era,” she said.
The new vinyl record, she showed, is a great shadow of orange.
Swift was not aware of football – until Travis
Swift said that she did not know anything about football before her romance started.
“I didn’t know what was down before,” or “tight-end,” (who plays the travis), he said.
He said that he appreciated the patience and understanding of Travis when he started dating and introduced him to his world.
Now he has invested himself personally – citing an episode where he recently found himself interested in a player’s business. He remembered himself thinking: “Who took away the body?”
Travis told him that he would be “grateful for forever” that he completely “wholeheartedly” in his world.
Taylor speaks emotionally about his master
In May this year, it was announced that it had bought the rights of her first six albums, which ended a long and highly promoted battle over the ownership of her music.
After the sale of his original bosses, he vowed to recreate all six albums, known as the “version of the tailor”.
Swift became emotional because he explained the process by which he bought his master recording, after trying for a whole decade to secure rights.
She said that she was not interested in the financial “returns” that would bring albums.
“It’s not for me that ‘I am not the owner of this property because of its returns’,” he said. “I want this because it was my handwritten diary entries from my whole life.”
He said that his mother and brother spoke to Los Angeles’ investment firm Shemrock Capital about buying their music.
When his mother called her, “you got your music,” she said: “I very dramatically hit the floor. For the real.”
“My eyes are out, and just crying. And just like just ‘really? Actually? What do you mean?” ,
“It changed my life,” he continued. “I still can’t believe it.”
Which version of their albums should listen to fans?
He also thanked loyal fans for listening to his re -recorded albums, stating that he reacted to controversy on his music rights with Western cowboy expression, “We Ride at Don”.
She also said that it was through her fans that she was able to buy her music back.
“Reason I was able to buy my music back, they came on ERAS tour,” he said.
He was also asked which versions of his albums should listen to his fans – now that he owns both versions.
He said, “I think many vocals I did on record again were better than the original,” he said, he is especially fond of his 2012 album Red remake.
Speaking of his ERAS tour, which ended in December, he immediately compared football.
“It was a lot of physical therapy. It was in a state of too much discomfort,” he said.
“I am not hitting 300-punders. But heels!” He said.
He also talked about life after the tour. She and Travis talked about their love, describing how they bake sour bread together.
Her flour blows winds with chest hair, while her additional cat hair, she jokingly.
Travis said, “I had never experienced so much on stage, and then the person was so real and beautiful.”
Jason then jokingly said that he might leave, and he should give some privacy, as Swift swoops.
“Yes, I think, honestly,” Swift replied. “At this point, I think everyone should leave.”
While Swift has been shy to discuss its relationship in public many times, Travis has been more vocal. Prior to Podcast’s aired, he told GQ in an interview, “I like to be the happiest boy in the world”.
He praised Swift for his athleticism, comparing three -hour long concerts in his football games.
He said, “It is sure more tedious how much I put on Sunday, and she is doing it three, four, five consecutive days,” he said.
