Travis Kelce may be dominating headlines for his NFL moves, but it’s his latest off-field ambition that’s turning heads, becoming Taylor Swift’s personal DJ. On a recent episode of the New Heights podcast, Kelce gushed over Shaq’s post-NBA hustle, saying he and his brother have studied his game for years, and now, he’s ready to learn from Shaq’s DJ skills too.
Since retiring, O’Neal has built a $500 million empire, spinning tracks, running a fried chicken chain, and offering hot takes on Inside the NBA. And just to keep things on brand, he closed out the episode with his favorite Swift song: I Knew You Were Trouble.
While Kelce is jokingly stepping into the DJ booth, Swift is reclaiming her throne. After a long feud with Scooter Braun, the pop star has officially bought back the rights to her original masters, giving her full control over her early albums for the first time. That control means Swift decides where and how her songs are used, from streaming to licensing, and she’s already flexing that power with the rerecorded “Look What You Made Me Do” appearing in The Handmaid’s Tale final season.
Fans say the news isn’t just being heard, it’s being seen. According to The Daily Mail, the LED bracelets given out at Swift’s Eras Tour shows have reportedly started blinking after the news broke, though one user called out the trend, claiming fans were just restarting their bracelets for clout. Still, whether it’s Travis Kelce on the decks or synced-up stadium lights, the Swiftverse is clearly glowing.
