When “New Heights” producers brought up Taylor Swift’s infamous camera filter on the latest episode, Travis Kelce and his co-host and brother, Jason Kelce, acted like they had no clue what was going on.
Of course, the Kansas City Chiefs star tight end must know that his world-famous girlfriend loves using a filter that gives off a warm, fuzzy glow. But he may not have realized that Swifties call it by an NSFW name.
Travis Kelce’s ‘New Heights’ Producers Get the Taylor Swift Filter Effect
Brandon Borders and Jake Chatzky, known to “New Heights” fans as Intern Brandon and Jets Jake, appeared on the latest episode to talk about their time in Kelce’s private suite at Arrowhead Stadium during the AFC Championship Game.
The twosome took a fan question, which stumped both Kelce brothers when they heard what fans call her filter.
The caller, a “longtime Swiftie,” asked, “We know it’s hard to get in there, and you guys did it, so I need to know — what was the experience like? How did it happen?”
After Kelce quickly reminded them about the NDA they had signed, Borders revealed that he had learned Swift’s devoted fans call her notorious golden filter by an expletive-laced name.
The name revelation left both brothers seemingly stumped. For those curious about achieving the filter effect, Digital Camera World reports that Swift uses an Olympus camera with the filter set to Vintage Art 1.
Following his appearance, Borders took to X and shared a picture of a huge group celebrating the Chiefs’ victory—including himself, Chatzky, and Kelce in the background—with that legendary Swift glow.
Fans immediately flooded the comment section, with one even proclaiming that the filter meant “New Heights” producers had been “promoted.”
Intern Brandon and Jets Jake Admit Meeting Taylor Swift Left Them ‘Shook’
The “New Heights” producers weren’t done spilling details about their time in the VIP suite. They also shared what it was like to meet the “Shake It Off” singer in person.
“We walked in the door, and — I’ll give this away — she said our names immediately,” Borders said, clearly thinking about the NDA.
“It was like, ‘Oh my God. Brandon, Jake, finally!’ We were floored.”
Swift, knowing them by name, “shook us immediately” and “threw” them.
“She knows how to break the ice. She does,” Kelce praised. “She’s a pro at it.”
He then admitted that his girlfriend listens to the podcast “every week.”
Borders said, “She gave the show a lot of compliments. She offered us some creative praise. Let me be very clear. You can’t tell me or the rest of (expletive) life.”
Then, he added, “I was very appreciative of it. … When somebody of that creative caliber pays you a compliment, you’re like, ‘Oh, (expletive)!’”
Although Swift has only attended home games this season, fans assume she will be in New Orleans when Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs take on his brother’s former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, in the Super Bowl on February 9.
The game is a rematch of the 2022 Super Bowl, aka the Kelce Bowl, when the brothers faced off for the championship title. The Chiefs won that game, and if they win this year, they will become the first team in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row—a possibility Swift will surely not want to miss.
