Travis Kelce is not only one of the top tight ends in the history of the NFL. Off the field, the Kansas City Chiefs star also runs a very successful podcast with his brother Jason Kelce entitled “New Heights.”
The show’s popularity became even more widespread when Kelce started dating multi-Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Taylor Swift a year and a half ago. Since then, fans have been clamoring for the “Fortnight” singer to make her “New Heights” debut, which, up until today, just hasn’t come to fruition just yet.
The show, along with its podcast network and publisher Wondery, appears to be testing the waters, so to speak, in this regard. On Wednesday, “New Heights” asked its listeners to take part in a survey about the show.

As it turns out, however, more than a few fans believed that there were way too many questions about Swift on the said survey. So much so, that the podcast started getting backlash from Swifties who claimed that the survey was “very weird.”
One fan claimed that the questions about Swift and Kelce’s relationship were “weird and gross,” while another described it as “pathetic clout-chasing.” There’s a lot more where that came from, too.
According to a report by Page Six, this whole controversy has forced the show to take action.
“The survey, notably, was amended following backlash, with the Swift-related questions removed,” reported Page Six, also indicating that Kelce’s rep has not responded to their request for comment.
A number of Fans in the comments section of the post have also claimed that the questions about Swift were no longer available when they accessed the survey.
“I did it however there were no questions about Taylor Swift on the survey that I did,” a comment on X read.
“Same here. I wonder if questions popped up based on previous answers,” another said.
“Same, I did not get ANY TS references in mine?” agreed a Swiftie.
“That’s interesting… must have been removed,” suspected a user.
As of writing, the survey is no longer accessible. While the link is still active, it leads to a prompt indicating that they have “received the maximum volume of survey answers.”
