Kylie Kelce has been dethroned by Taylor Swift — and that’s completely fine by her.
The wife of Jason Kelce dropped the latest episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast on Thursday, Aug. 14, where she quickly addressed the Internet-breaking episode of Jason and brother Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast, which dropped on Wednesday night with very special guest Swift.
“Officially no longer the record holder for the most watched episode of the other podcast. There’s no way it’s even close, and I love that for me,” Kylie, 33, quipped, referencing her brother-in-law’s pop star girlfriend, 35, and her mega fandom.
In fact, at the time of publication, Swift had just surpassed Kylie’s 8.6 million views from her record-setting Sept. 2023 episode in less than 24 hours.

“It is very entertaining to watch the Internet break,” Kylie quipped of seeing the excitement surrounding Swift’s appearance on New Heights. “It’s just crumbling apart, and I love it. I love it. I love that we know that a day before it releases my interview on the other podcast is going to lose its long-tenured reign as most-watched episode, and I welcome that whole heartedly. Let’s drop that sucker down.”
Kylie’s husband Jason, 37, even poked fun at the record-breaking moment at the end of Swift’s two-hour podcast, saying, “I think Kylie enjoyed being the no. 1 most viewed episode for the time that she had.”
Travis, 35, chimed in, saying, “Don’t you do that to Kylie,” with Swift echoing the sentiment by adding, “Don’t do that. You guys throw Kylie under the bus, you’re gonna pay for it.”

Throughout the “So High School” singer’s lengthy episode, she referenced spending time with Kylie as well as her and Jason’s four daughters — Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finn, 4 months.
“You’re exactly as I thought you would be. Kylie is exactly as I thought she would be, just like the realest, the smartest, the coolest. You’re fantastic. Obviously, you know that,” Swift told Jason during the episode.
She also referenced Jason’s daughters while discussing her newfound love of baking sourdough bread.
“This one I’ve been workshopping for the girls because they love everything rainbow — funfetti sourdough,” she added. “Because they love sprinkles. Like, we put, you know, we put sprinkles in everything when we hang out.”
Swift also teased Jason about Kylie using the same phrase to placate both him and their 4-year-old Elliotte.
“She goes, ‘Okay, can we not do that right now?’ ” Taylor quipped, referencing Kylie shooting down a drunken idea of Jason’s. “And since then, I’ve heard her say that exact thing to your 4-year-old about, like, ‘Mommy, I wanna throw this pudding on the wall. Wouldn’t that be fun?’ ‘Can we not do it right now?’ ”
Throughout the rare episode, Swift got candid on a variety of topics, including reclaiming her masters, how her love story with Travis began, her father’s recent heart surgery and her life both during and after the Eras Tour. She also debuted her upcoming 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, revealing it will drop on Oct. 3.
