Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift remain two of the most followed celebrities in the United States. Kelce returning for another season with the Chiefs made millions of fans happy. However, it was a recent statement about Taylor Swift that had those same fans reacting.
“Finally” Travis Kelce Makes Huge Taylor Swift Announcement (Report)
During the latest episode of New Heights, Travis Kelce couldn’t hide his excitement, and this time it wasn’t about football. Taylor Swift was a topic of conversation among the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and his brother Jason, along with special guest Shaquille O’Neal:
Shaq took over the moment, queuing up Swift’s 2012 anthem “I Knew You Were Trouble” from her Red album. That sparked a gleeful reaction from Kelce, who couldn’t wait to give Swift her flowers.
“Shout out to Tay Tay, just got that song back, too,” he said. “Just bought all her music back so it’s finally hers, too, man. I appreciate that dog.”
Taylor Swift’s long-running fight to reclaim ownership of her early work finally came to an end over the weekend. In a personal message to fans, Swift confirmed she had purchased all music, videos, films and album artwork from her first six studio albums. The acquisition came from Shamrock Capital, the firm that previously bought the rights from Scooter Braun.
“I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen,” Swift shared in a heartfelt note. “After 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away… I am endlessly thankful.” She even joked about getting her first tattoo to mark the moment: “a huge shamrock in the middle of my forehead.”
The move caps off a years-long effort by the 14-time Grammy winner to secure full creative control of her work. Swift began re-recording her catalog in 2021 to regain ownership after someone sold her masters without her consent. Until now, two albums, her self-titled debut and Reputation, remained unreleased in their re-recorded forms. With the full rights now in her hands, she admitted she’s unsure if those versions will ever come out.
Beyond Swift’s personal victory, the move signals a bigger moment for artists across the music industry. It’s a win for musicians pushing for control over their own art, rather than watching record labels profit off their legacy.
And Kelce, fresh off a win of his own with the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game, made it clear he couldn’t be prouder.
