Are you ready for Taylor Swift to begin a new era? Now that the billionaire superstar officially owns her masters, the final two re-recordings are likely taking a backseat. Thanks to the Easter eggs dropped by Swift and her team, Swifties are convinced that new music is coming soon — and what better way to reveal TS12 than on New Heights?

The chatter about Swift’s potential appearance on Travis and Jason Kelce’s podcast, New Heights, started on Monday, August 11, when the podcast’s X account teased that a very special guest would be joining the brothers this Wednesday.

“92%ers, we’re coming back early for a special episode with a VERY special guest,” the caption read. “New episode Wednesday 7PM ET.”

Swifties flocked to the comments, noting how the silhouette in the picture looks very similar to Taylor’s — bangs, long hair, and all.

“I KNOW THOSE BANGS ANYWHERE HELLO,” one user commented. Another fan noticed that Jason is wearing what appears to be a shirt with the singer’s face on it, and the background is a glittering orange (we’ll get to the significance of the color later). Oh, and the episode drops on the 13th, which just happens to be Taylor’s lucky number.

Is Taylor Swift Announcing New Music On New Heights This Week?

If Swift is a special guest on Wednesday’s episode, there’s a strong chance she could also announce new music. Taylor Nation, the official account of Taylor Swift’s management team, has been dropping hints that the singer may be revealing something big soon.

On August 11, the same day as the New Heights teaser, the Taylor Nation Instagram account shared a 12-photo carousel. The caption read, “Thinking about when she said ‘See you next era…’” and the photos showed Swift in a variety of orange Eras Tour looks.

Fans noted that the missing album color in Taylor Swift’s discography is orange, suggesting that TS12 could revolve around the orange hue. “TS12 IS ORANGE DEFINITELY,” one Swiftie commented. “12 pictures, every outfit is orange. This has to mean something 🧡🧡🧡” wrote another.

What Are Other Easter Eggs Pointing To TS12?

The Instagram carousel is just one of the Easter eggs hinting that Swift’s next album, TS12, is on the horizon. Here are even more signs sleuths have put together:

• When celebrating a new album from her BFF Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, Swift posted the caption, “I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD.” The singer used 12 d’s in god.
• In an Instagram post marking her return to the U.S. for the Era’s Tour, the artist held her cat Meredith in the A12 section of Hard Rock Stadium.
• At the 2025 Grammy Awards, she had 12 red rubies in her earrings and leg chain.
• When she revealed that she now owns her masters, the letter included 12 i’s in “thiiiiiiiiiiiis,” while the single numbers in the letter of 4, 6 and 2 add up to 12. The letterhead also featured a new “TS” diamond logo with 12 segments.
• In December, Us Weekly reported Swift was considering getting to “work on a new album” and was talking “about hitting the road again—albeit on a smaller scale than the Eras Tour—in 2026.”
