Fans speculate Taylor Swift may reveal 12th album on Travis and Jason Kelce’s podcast

Swifties link Taylor Swift’s orange-themed teasers to a possible #TS12 reveal on the Kelce brothers’ podcast.

Speculation is growing among Taylor Swift fans that the singer could announce her 12th studio album on the podcast hosted by NFL players Travis and Jason Kelce.

On Monday, Taylor Nation — Swift’s official marketing and publicity team — shared a post on Instagram that caught the attention of the Swiftie community.

The caption read: “Thinking about when she said ‘See you next era…’” alongside images of outfits from the Eras Tour featuring prominent orange tones. The post concluded with a burning heart emoji, a detail fans believe symbolises a shift into a new creative period.

The consistent use of orange has become a focal point for fan theories. Earlier teasers also incorporated the colour, leading some to believe it could be a theme for the upcoming album, widely referred to online as #TS12.

Theories intensified after some linked the visual style of the teasers to the Kelce brothers’ podcast, which has become known for drawing high-profile guests.

Travis and Jason Kelce’s podcast, popular for its mix of sports talk and celebrity interviews, has a substantial following that extends beyond American football fans.

Supporters suggest the platform could serve as an unconventional but impactful setting for a major announcement from Swift.

While there has been no official confirmation from Swift or her representatives, fans have been quick to analyse every clue.

Social media platforms have been filled with discussions about the meaning of the orange colour scheme and whether it signals a new era in her music.

Swift’s most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department, was released in April 2024. If the speculation proves correct, the new project would mark her 12th studio release and continue her pattern of embedding cryptic hints in promotional material.
