Per the brothers, they presented Swift with a bouquet after she placed their episode on Apple Podcasts’ list of the year’s top episodes for 2025, a recognition tied directly to her guest spot.
Jason noted on the November 19 episode that their conversation with Swift had been selected as one of Apple’s “best podcast episodes of 2025.” This prompted Travis to describe his fiancée as “so magical.” Jason reacted with surprise, questioning how any other episode could outperform theirs. The former football center asked, “What is beating that one? Are there other ones up there?”
Taylor Swift’s appearance in August had already drawn considerable attention. This was mainly due to her candid conversation about how the podcast played a role in the early days of her relationship with Travis Kelce.
According to E! News, the pop icon commented that she felt she owed “a lot to this podcast.” She explained that Travis had used the show as his “personal dating app.” Her remarks referenced the NFL player’s attempt to meet her during “The Eras Tour in July 2023.” This was the time when he expressed being “butthurt” about missing the chance to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it.
