Taylor Swift continues to make waves far beyond the music industry, and her latest appearance on the New Heights podcast has sparked reactions not only from fans but also from inside the Kelce family itself. What started as a candid conversation with Jason and Travis Kelce quickly turned into a viral moment that is now dominating TikTok trends and resonating across the sports world.
Kylie Kelce calls Taylor Swift’s remark “badass”
Kylie Kelce, wife of Jason Kelce and sister-in-law to Travis, admitted she was floored by Swift’s unapologetic confidence during the episode. Sharing her thoughts on her own Not Gonna Lie podcast, Kylie described Swift’s delivery as nothing short of “badass.”
“There’s a trending TikTok sound from the other podcast that I can confidently say is one of the most badass things ever said on there,” Kylie said, emphasizing how quickly Taylor Swift’s words became a rallying cry for women in sports media.
The clip, now widely circulated, has been embraced by ESPN analyst Mina Kimes, rugby star Ilona Maher, gymnast Livvy Dunne, and countless others who found power in Swift’s boldness.
The line that sparked a movement
So what exactly did Taylor Swift say that had Kylie and so many others stunned? While addressing male sports fans who were skeptical of her presence in football conversations, Taylor Swift leaned into humor and sharp wit:
“I think we all know that if there’s one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens, it’s more of me.”
The line was equal parts sarcastic and self-aware, instantly transforming into a viral sound on TikTok. For Kylie, it captured something larger than just a witty comeback — it highlighted how women continue to claim their space in male-dominated sports culture.
A moment bigger than the podcast
For Kylie Kelce, what stood out was how Swift’s comment has been embraced far beyond the pop culture sphere. She explained her admiration for seeing female athletes use the sound in solidarity:
“I love this. I love this audio so much. I love all the women in sports that I have seen using this trend.”
And in a cheeky nod to male sports fans resistant to change, Kylie added:
“So, uh, men? Get used to it. Suckas!”
Taylor Swift’s appearance on New Heights wasn’t just a celebrity guest spot. It underscored the growing intersection between sports, entertainment, and culture — and showed how one powerful statement can ignite a wave of empowerment. For Kylie Kelce, it was a reminder that Swift’s influence isn’t just chart-topping; it’s culture-shaping.
