Travis & Jason Announce Taylor Swift’s Cat Benjamin as Guest Star for Easter New Heights
The world of celebrity collaborations has seen its fair share of surprises, but nothing quite as charming and unexpected as the recent announcement from NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce. The two brothers, known for their dominance on the football field and their growing presence off it, have made headlines for their latest project—an Easter special titled New Heights. However, this time, it’s not just the Kelces making waves—it’s Taylor Swift’s beloved cat, Benjamin Button, who has stolen the spotlight.
Travis, who has become a fan favorite not just for his football skills but also for his sense of humor and larger-than-life personality, shared the exciting news during a live podcast recording with Jason. The Kelce brothers have been hosting New Heights, a podcast that takes listeners behind the scenes of the NFL, with Travis often revealing personal stories, football insights, and plenty of playful banter. But in a recent episode, they took things to a whole new level by announcing a guest star for their upcoming Easter special.
In a segment filled with jokes and laughs, Travis casually dropped the bombshell: “So, for our Easter special, we’ve got someone really special joining us—someone you might already know. It’s none other than… Benjamin Button!”
Jason, who had been in on the joke, immediately burst out laughing. “You’ve got to be kidding me, Travis. Not only did we get Taylor Swift on the show, but now we’re bringing her cat into the mix?”
The audience erupted in laughter, fully aware of the playful nature of the Kelces. But Travis wasn’t kidding. “No, really. Benjamin Button is coming to New Heights,” he continued, laughing. “We’re pulling out all the stops for this Easter special, and that includes a certain feline that has a fanbase of its own. So, get ready for the most unexpected guest appearance of the year.”
The announcement instantly went viral, as fans of Taylor Swift, the Kelces, and Benjamin Button himself started sharing the news across social media. Swift’s fans, who already adore her cats (especially Benjamin, who has become a social media star in his own right), were ecstatic about the possibility of seeing him join the Kelce brothers for a lighthearted and fun Easter celebration.
In the days leading up to the special, social media was flooded with memes, fan art, and excited posts. People joked about how Benjamin might “steal the show,” and there were even bets on whether the cat would make it through the episode without distracting the brothers or causing chaos on set. But the Kelces, known for their fun-loving attitude, were more than ready for the feline star to make his appearance.
As the Easter weekend approached, the Kelces gave fans a preview of what to expect. A short teaser video posted on their social media showed Travis and Jason preparing for the taping, with Benjamin Button sitting comfortably on a couch between them. The cat, who looked more relaxed than ever, was the picture of calm as the brothers tried to maintain their usual playful banter, but every time they addressed Benjamin, the cat simply stared at them with his signature calm demeanor.
“We’re just happy Benjamin could join us,” Jason said in the teaser, while Travis added, “We may be a little nervous, though. He’s the real star of this show.”
The New Heights Easter special, which aired shortly after, exceeded all expectations. The episode was filled with funny moments, as the Kelces attempted to interact with Benjamin, who was more interested in lounging around than engaging with the brothers. His unbothered attitude, however, only made him even more endearing to the audience, and it was clear that the cat’s presence added an unexpected charm to the special.
Throughout the show, the Kelces shared anecdotes about their childhood Easter memories, their thoughts on family traditions, and how the holiday had always been a time for fun and bonding. They even managed to squeeze in some lighthearted football talk, with Travis sharing some behind-the-scenes stories from his career. But it was Benjamin’s unassuming behavior that stole the spotlight. Whether he was calmly perched on the couch or lazily batting at a ball of yarn, the cat’s aloofness brought a sense of calm to the typically high-energy Kelces.
The segment became an instant hit, with fans praising the unique combination of humor, family vibes, and the surprise appearance of a celebrity cat. It wasn’t just about the brothers or Taylor Swift’s cat—it was a reminder of the joy that simple, unexpected moments can bring. The Easter special, with its casual atmosphere and comedic moments, became one of the most popular episodes of New Heights to date, with people from all walks of life tuning in to see how the Kelces handled their “guest star.”
As the episode concluded, the Kelces sent their viewers off with a warm message of appreciation. “Thanks for tuning in,” Jason said, looking at the camera. “And a special thanks to our guest, Benjamin Button. You’re officially part of the New Heights family now!”
Travis added, “Happy Easter, everyone! And remember, it’s not just about the big moments—sometimes it’s the little ones, like a cat hanging out with us, that make the best memories.”
Fans responded in kind, flooding social media with their own Easter greetings, cat-themed memes, and, of course, adoration for Benjamin Button. The episode had proven one thing: when you combine two beloved sports stars, a superstar pop star’s cat, and some good-natured fun, you get something special.
In the end, the New Heights Easter special was more than just an episode—it was a reminder of the joy that can come from the unexpected, and how something as simple as a cat on a couch can bring the world together. Whether it was the Kelces’ infectious personalities, the charm of Benjamin Button, or the warmth of the holiday spirit, this unforgettable moment was a testament to the power of family, laughter, and the small surprises that make life so delightful.
