The countdown is on — literally — to Taylor Swift’s first-ever appearance on the “New Heights” podcast Wednesday night.
New Heights is not just any podcast. It’s hosted by Swift’s boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and his brother, retired fellow football player Jason Kelce. They teased the upcoming episode at the beginning of the week, writing on Instagram that they will have a “VERY special guest.”
Another countdown clock has appeared on the superstar’s website, with the forward slash “password” added onto the website address. It depicts a brown door with orange sparkles behind it, traveling down a lighted path as the clock gets closer to expiring. There is also a floating locked sparkly orange box on the bottom left side of the screen.

This countdown ends at 7 p.m. Wednesday, which is when the podcast episode will be released. It seemingly began five hours before the podcast’s release at 2 p.m.

Following the first website countdown that started Monday night, a preorder page was revealed on Swift’s website for her 12th album titled “The Life of a Showgirl.” This era will have an orange- and teal-colored theme.
That preorder page has since disappeared with the new countdown Wednesday taking its place.
