And later Monday, the podcast’s X account dropped a video which confirmed the link-up.

A 13-second clip showed Swift sat next to Kelce as he recorded his podcast with brother Jason.

“Taylor’s about to do a f***ing podcast,” the caption read.

Kelce wore a blue sweater with cut off sleeves in the teaser video.

“Such a nice color on you,” Swift told him.

And the Kansas City Chiefs star had a smooth response.

“It’s the color of your eyes sweetie,” he said.

“It’s why we match so well.”

Taylor then followed up by exclaiming, “We’re about to do a f***ing podcast.”

The full episode will be released Wednesday at 7 pm ET.

And it’s been tipped to smash podcast records.

In a separate 20-second clip, Swift also revealed the name of her upcoming album.

She held up what looked to be a blurred album cover.

And Swift revealed it will be called The Life of a Showgirl.

Her announcement was met with huge gasps by Travis and Jason Kelce.

One fan asked, “Anyone know the record for downloads of a single podcast episode?”

A second posted, “The most watched podcast of all time is about to drop.”

While a third commented, “What’s the download record for a podcast? New Heights might break it.”

And one more said, “Going to shatter the record.”

The couple have been together since the fall of 2023 when Swift went to watch a Chiefs NFL game.

RUSSIA has accused Britain of trying to sabotage the Ukraine peace talks set to be held between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

The world’s eyes will be on Alaska on Friday as both leaders prepare to meet for the historic summit that could mark the beginning of the end of the Russian invasion.

Sir Keir Starmer has warned not to ‘trust’ Putin[/caption]

But the Kremlin has hit out at Britain, accusing it of trying to disrupt the peace talks after Sir Keir Starmer warned the Russian leader cannot be “trusted”.

The Russian embassy in London slammed No10 and said: “We note the ongoing attempts by London and some of its partners to disrupt a peace resolution of the conflict by eliminating its root causes.

“This is clearly demonstrated by the statements and activity developed by the British leadership in the run-up to the Russian-American summit in Alaska.”

Sir Keir backed Trump’s plans but urged to be more caution.

The PM’s official spokesman said: “Never trust President Putin as far as you could throw him, but we obviously will support Ukraine.

“Any ceasefire cannot just be an opportunity for President Putin to go away, re-arm, restrengthen, and then go again.”

Trump said on August 8 that he hopes to hold a meeting with Putin in Alaska on August 15.

Washington and Moscow are said to be eyeing a deal to put an end to the bloody conflict in Ukraine – but it may not be all good news for Kyiv.

Trump told reporters in The White House that Zelensky is “going to have to get ready to sign something” in order to bring peace to his nation.

Top diplomats from the US and Russia and currently working on an agreement to finalise post-war territories, senior officials told Bloomberg.

Sources said Trump’s team is trying to get Ukraine and its European allies on board to get a peace deal that would see Kyiv make some concessions.

One major sticking point for Moscow is the annexation of Ukrainian territory – one of Putin’s long-term demands.

Zelensky has been adamant that Ukraine will not accept any further annexation of its land.

Although he suggested Russia could be allowed to retain some of the land it has taken.

Moscow is likely to demand that Ukraine cede its entire eastern Donbas area to Russia, as well as Crimea – which Moscow annexed in 2014.

This means Ukrainian troops will need to withdraw from the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk – the regions still being held by Kyiv.

In return, Moscow would stop its offensive in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine along the current battlelines, according to the officials.

Kyiv risks being presented with a take-it-or-leave-it offer during the high-stakes meeting.

Zelensky has told European leaders they must reject any settlement proposals by the US that demand Ukraine give up further land.

Trump announced on Friday that the only way to resolve the issues is for both sides to accept losses of land.

He said: “It’s complicated, actually. Nothing is easy. It’s very complicated.

“We’re going to get some switched. There’ll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both.”

The MAGA prez said he would try to return territory to Ukraine.

Don added: “Russia has occupied a big portion of Ukraine. They’ve occupied some very prime territory.

“We’re going to try and get some of that territory back for Ukraine.”

Putin, who has consistently rejected calls for a ceasefire, said that he wants peace but that his demands for ending his invasion were “unchanged”.

Slave to one’s habits

Zelensky has warned that Putin has no intention of seeking peace.

He claimed Putin would try to fool Trump and continue waging his bloody war against Ukraine.

The embattled president said: “[Putin] is definitely not preparing for a ceasefire or an end to the war.

“He is determined only to present a meeting with America as his personal victory and then continue acting exactly as before.

“The Russians simply want to buy time, not end the war.

Zelensky said that Putin was redeploying troops and forces “in ways that suggest preparations for new offensive operations.

“If someone is preparing for peace, this is not what he does.”

Igor Novikov, Zelensky’s ex-adviser, spoke to The Sun about the Putin and Trump meeting on US soil.

He said: “Trump understands that he needs to put enough sanction pressure and military pressure on Russia for them to consider ending this war.

“But at the same time, Putin tries to manipulate and charm him, massage his ego into a position where Russia wins time and the US moves further away from helping Ukraine.

“Whatever they decide upon. It won’t be taken for granted by the Ukrainian people.”

Zelensky was initially thought to be a possible third member around the table at Friday’s superpower summit.

The first announcements from the White House suggested Putin would meet Trump, followed by a three-way meeting between Trump, Putin and Zelensky.

But that was swiftly shut down by the Kremlin, and an aide denied it had ever been agreed to on the Russian side.

The US president also dismissed claims that next week’s historic summit hinges on a three-way meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky.

Asked if Putin needed to meet Zelensky in order to meet him, Trump clarified: “No, he doesn’t.”

Despite that, the White House is preparing for a possible trilateral summit.

Over the weekend, a source briefed on the internal talks told The Sun: “It’s being discussed.”

A meeting with Putin and Trump will come after weeks of constant barbs being fired at the Russian tyrant by America’s leader.

Trump has expressed frustration with Putin, questioning whether the Russian leader really wants peace with Ukraine.

Putin has snubbed peace for months and is instead steadily increasing his overnight bombing raids – which could soon hit 1,000 drones and missiles a day.

Just days ago, 31 people died including five children after the Russians fired an Iskander missile into a residential tower block in Kyiv.

Having impressed for the Longhorns during his time at the University of Texas, he was rated highly going into his rookie season.

But he struggled to make a good impression during his first game.

Ewers went just 5-for-18 passing, managing just 91 yards.

He also failed to make any interceptions or passing touchdowns and fumbled the ball twice.

Fans took to social media to react to his performance, with one person writing: “He looked uncomfortable. Hope he turns things around!”

Another commented: “Project. But he does need some better players around him either way.”

A third said: “He can do better. Bad luck, bad timing, bad showing.”

While Colin Cowherd wrote: “Someone told ya…”

Ewers was the third quarterback on the field and got most of the passing work, but he did have back-ups.

Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson also featured.
