Taylor Swift has once again captured the world’s attention, but this time, it’s not just through her chart-topping music—it’s through an intimate moment shared on Kylie Kelsey’s Not Going to Lie podcast, where Taylor opened up about her life after getting engaged to Travis Kelce. The episode, which aired on October 8, 2025, became a viral sensation, revealing the most heartfelt and personal side of the pop superstar.

From heartwarming moments with her future nieces to revealing secrets about her upcoming wedding and her new album The Life of a Showgirl, Taylor’s candid conversation left fans with a deeper understanding of the woman behind the music. And it was during this casual yet emotional podcast appearance that Taylor’s relationship with Travis, his family, and her journey as a future stepmom took center stage.

A Surprise Family Takeover on the Podcast

The atmosphere on the Not Going to Lie podcast was lighthearted and full of joy, but it quickly took a turn when Taylor’s nieces—Wyatt, Elliot, and Bennith—decided to make an adorable surprise appearance. As Kylie Kelsey was interviewing Taylor, the three little girls interrupted the podcast, waving into the camera and shouting, “Hi, Auntie Tay!” The room burst into laughter, and it wasn’t long before Wyatt, with her signature loud voice, grabbed the microphone to announce, “We miss you, Mommy. Finley misses you too.”

In a moment of pure chaos, the Kelsey family’s love for each other was unmistakable. Taylor, visibly moved by their words, responded with a soft, “I miss you all more. Especially those very loud drum solos, Wyatt.” Wyatt then sweetly insisted, “Tell Mommy to come home soon,” a statement that tugged at Taylor’s heartstrings. The dynamic between Taylor and her soon-to-be stepdaughters was evident in every word, and it was clear that family was already becoming a central part of her life.

These unexpected moments—filled with hugs, jokes, and sweet conversations—proved that Taylor’s relationship with Travis’s family is already one rooted in love and warmth. The little girls had made it clear: Taylor wasn’t just Travis’s fiancée—she was quickly becoming a beloved member of their family.

Taylor Swift’s New Album: The Life of a Showgirl

In between the playful banter with her nieces, Taylor also reflected on her newly released album, The Life of a Showgirl. With her usual grace and humor, she explained that this album felt different from any of her previous works. “It’s extra personal,” she said. “There’s a lot of humor, a lot of nostalgia, but also this sense of joy that I’m feeling in my life right now. Everything feels lighter, but there’s a deep emotional connection to it.”

Kylie Kelsey, a long-time supporter of Taylor’s music, quickly shared her thoughts on the album, particularly her love for the song “Wishlist.” Taylor shared that the track’s sentiment resonated deeply with her own relationship with Travis and how she felt about the future. The song, with its lyrics “Have a couple kids got the whole block looking like you,” captures the image of a growing family—something Taylor has clearly been thinking about.

Wedding Planning and Future Dreams

As the conversation turned to wedding planning, Taylor, in her typically candid fashion, spoke about what her big day would look like. Contrary to the high-profile, theatrical weddings many might expect from a global superstar, Taylor envisioned something much more intimate. “I want something family-heavy, music-heavy, and intentionally joyful,” she explained. “We’re leaning towards something that’s not just a grand spectacle, but a moment for those who’ve been with us from the start.”

Kylie couldn’t resist poking fun at Taylor’s precise wedding tastes, mentioning that Travis might want to contribute his own touch to the wedding playlist. “Jason’s contribution would be songs all about sausage,” Kylie laughed, while Taylor joined in, joking that the whole event would be full of inside jokes that only their closest family and friends would understand.

When asked about the future, Taylor revealed that she was looking forward to learning the small, intimate rituals of marriage, like cooking together or failing at a recipe. “I think that’s the romance of it all,” she said. “It’s about the little things, like getting to fail at a recipe together and laughing about it, that create memories.”

The Impact of Travis Kelce on Taylor’s Music

It didn’t take long for the conversation to turn to the role that Travis Kelce has played in Taylor’s music. On her album The Life of a Showgirl, there are several tracks that fans have speculated to be inspired by her relationship with Travis, including the steamy hit “Wood.” During a recent New Heights podcast episode, Jason Kelce, Travis’s brother, playfully teased Travis about the song, saying it was clearly about his sibling.

Although Travis tried to downplay his involvement in the song, his love for Taylor was evident. “I’m just the lucky man who gets to be the support system for Taylor while she drops one of the coolest albums that I’ve ever listened to,” Travis shared on the podcast. His humility was sweet, but there was no mistaking the pride he felt for his fiancée’s success.

In one of the most touching moments of the interview, Taylor expressed her excitement about becoming a stepmom. “I’m learning new things every day, especially about how to be a part of a family with kids,” she said. “I’m just so grateful that I get to build this life with Travis and his family. I never expected any of this, but it feels right.”
