Travis Kelce, star NFL player and boyfriend to pop star Taylor Swift, has announced a new episode of his popular podcast series New Heights, and speculations are rife that the mystery guest might be Swift.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared an Instagram post showing himself and his brother with a silhouette of their mystery guest in the middle.

The post read:

"92%ers, we’re returning early for a special episode with a VERY special guest. New episode Wednesday 7 PM ET.”

Some fans quickly pointed out that the silhouette resembled Swift's and assumed that the Kelce brothers planned to break the internet with the news. Another Instagram user, @whatsonherwrist, used keywords from Kelce’s announcement to predict Swift’s appearance on the show.

The singer’s song August from her album Folklore, her lucky number 13, and the orange background that her fandom has associated with her upcoming album.
