Taylor Swift has surpassed President Donald Trump’s record for the most podcast listeners within the first hour of an episode being released.

On Wednesday, Swift appeared on the podcast “New Heights,” hosted by her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and the Philadelphia Eagles alum interviewed Swift for over two hours during the episode, which went live at 7 p.m.

According to The Daily Beast, and confirmed by Swift’s representatives, 1.3 million people were watching the podcast live on YouTube during the first hour after its release.

This is significant because Trump previously held the record for the most listeners tuning in during the first hour of a podcast. In October 2024, he appeared on an episode of the “Joe Rogan Experience,” where 800,000 people watched during the first hour, according to data from CNN analyst Harry Enten.

The influx of viewers was so high for Swift’s “New Heights” episode that it crashed on YouTube around the one-hour, 44-minute mark.

During this record-breaking episode, Swift unveiled the cover and track list for her forthcoming album “The Life of a Showgirl,” discussed regaining control of her masters and talked about her relationship with Travis Kelce.
