Travis and Jason Kelce ramped up the hype for the latest episode of their New Heights podcast while keeping fans guessing about this week’s ‘special guest.’
However, amid speculation that Taylor Swift could finally be ready for her debut appearance on the show, Arnold Schwarzenegger was later revealed as the superstar addition to this week’s episode.
The brothers have featured guest appearances on their podcast, which was nominated for a Webby Award on Tuesday, including Travis’ Kansas City teammate Patrick Mahomes, former Eagle Beau Allen and Chiefs head coach Andy Reid .
They kept fans in suspense over who might make the surprise appearance on this week’s show, which premieres on Wednesday.
—Any ideas about tomorrow’s guest? New Heights’ official X account was shared along with a thinking face emoji and a sideways eye emoji.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is the latest special guest on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights
The Kelce Brothers Heightened the Excitement for the Latest Episode of New Heights
The podcast’s official X account teased a special guest ahead of this week’s episode.
The post had many fans guessing that it could be Travis’ pop superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
The secret post sent fans into a frenzy, with many predicting it could be Travis’ pop superstar girlfriend Taylor.
Many guessed it could be the 14-time Grammy winner, while others called out the pop star directly.
‘Taylor Swift?? No??? I mean we can only hope,’ one fan pleaded, while another chimed in writing: ‘We love Taylor!!!!’
“I’ll only accept Taylor,” one user posted, while another added: “Taylor Swift or we rebel.”
A couple of other GIFs shared from the Anti-Hero hitmaker, who is releasing a new album later this month, one of them adding: “This wonderful girl, maybe?”
However, just when the possibility of Swift appearing seemed more likely than ever, a sneak peek at Wednesday’s episode revealed that Schwarzenegger is actually the special guest in question.
“Listen, my heart is pounding right now, because we have the bomb king in the building,” Jason says in the clip. ‘The creator of iron pumping. Our guest today is the seven-time Mr. Olympia, former Governor of California.
‘It has grossed approximately $4 billion at the box office. You know him from some of your favorite movies like Commando, True Lies, Kindergarten Cop, Jingle All The Way… he’s the fucking Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger!’
The movie legend then jokes: “Where’s the baby oil?” You’re supposed to be oiled up when you introduce me.
But movie legend Schwarzenegger is the guest in question on this week’s New Heights.
The singer appearing on the podcast wouldn’t have been out of the realm of possibility, as the Kelces appeared to have filmed the latest episode in Los Angeles.
The brothers were spotted going out to dinner in Los Angeles on Monday night after celebrating Easter Sunday in Philadelphia.
Travis has been enjoying some downtime with his girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor, at his $25 million mansion in Los Angeles following the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory and the end of the most recent of his international Eras tour.
Meanwhile, Jason has taken his first steps towards retirement after announcing he would be hanging up his cleats following an incredible 13-year NFL career early last month.
However, it appears both brothers are back on track as the Philadelphia Eagles legend joined Travis on the West Coast for an apparent business dinner with manager Aaron Eanes on Monday.
Travis, known for his fashion sense and style, kept his look casual as the three-time Super Bowl winner stepped out in a green sweater and gray sweatpants, accessorized with a white ‘Happy Gilmore’ cap.
Meanwhile, Jason cut a similarly relaxed figure as he sported his signature flip-flops, which appeared on game days in the rain and shine last season, a gray hoodie and black sweatpants.
Many predicted she could be the singer, while others flat out demanded her.
Jason’s wife Kylie previously made cameos on the hit podcast.
And Travis wore the same outfit in teaser photos of the brothers filming the episode, suggesting they sat down to film it while in the City of Angels on Monday.
A precedent has been set for the Kelces’ family and partners appearing on the show with their mother Donna, father Ed and Jason’s wife Kylie all making cameos in the last two seasons.
Taylor has already made multiple cameos throughout Travis’ football season, attending 13 of his NFL games, including the Super Bowl.
However, fans will have to wait until Wednesday morning to see if he will actually appear as a special guest.
The new episode will be released just over a week before his New Heights live show takes place at his alma mater, the University of Cincinnati, on April 11.
