That&#8217;s because she teased her newest album, &#8220;The Life of a Showgirl.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Swift will discuss her 12th album on this Wednesday&#8217;s episode of &#8220;New Heights.&#8221; It&#8217;ll mark her first appearance on Jason and Travis Kelce&#8217;s podcast. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DNPbaYMuypd\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=f37cdcc5-1dbe-4436-870e-707cb0785b6b\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:teaser has already been shared;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">teaser has already been shared<\/a> by the Kelce brothers on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Unsurprisingly, this Tuesday&#8217;s episode of &#8220;TODAY with Jenna &amp; Friends&#8221; featured a lengthy conversation about Swift&#8217;s upcoming album. NBC host Jenna Bush Hager admit that she wasn&#8217;t thrilled with the timing of this announcement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;You know I\u2019m a Swiftie, but why does she have to drop everything at midnight?&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/decider.com\/2025\/08\/12\/jenna-bush-hager-today-taylor-swift-album-midnight\/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=decider\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Bush Hager said, via Decider;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Bush Hager said, via Decider<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Bush Hager&#8217;s guest co-host, FOX sideline reporter Erin Andrews, quickly replied, &#8220;It\u2019s her thing. It\u2019s too late for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While a midnight release is standard for the industry, Bush Hager wants Swift to shake things up and go with a 12 p.m. album drop next time around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As for Swift&#8217;s decision to drop this bombshell on &#8220;New Heights,&#8221; Bush Hager made it clear that she approves of the move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;What do you think about the fact that she announced it on his podcast? I think for them to announce it on his podcast confirms everything that all of us Swifties would hope, which is that they\u2019ve got something really great going on,&#8221; Bush Hager said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Does this mean wedding bells are in Kelce and Swift&#8217;s future? Not necessarily, but Andrews and Bush Hager are certainly rooting for them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;They are so fun to be around,&#8221; Andrews said. &#8220;Everybody already knows his personality. He\u2019s hilarious, he\u2019s super swaggy, he\u2019s so fun. She is hysterical, so witty\u2026 I\u2019m so excited for this podcast to drop tomorrow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mensjournal.com\/entertainment\/today-show-host-is-not-happy-with-taylor-swifts-announcement\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:&#039;Today&#039; Show Host Is Not Happy With Taylor Swift&#039;s Announcement;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">&#8216;Today&#8217; Show Host Is Not Happy With Taylor Swift&#8217;s Announcement<\/a> first appeared on Men&#8217;s Journal on Aug 12, 2025<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Swift nearly broke the internet around midnight Tuesday.
