Travis leaned back in his chair, grinning at his older brother Jason as they prepared to record another episode of their popular podcast, *New Heights.* This week was supposed to be another standard episode—football banter, brotherly ribbing, and maybe some fan questions—nothing out of the ordinary. But then, Travis caught sight of one particular comment from a fan that had both of them raising their eyebrows in surprise.

"Yo, Jason, check this out," Travis said, leaning over the laptop and pointing to the comment. "This Swiftie here wants us to give our 'raw reactions' to all of Taylor's albums."

Jason, sitting across from him, raised an eyebrow. "All of them? How many are there again?"

"Uh, ten, I think? Or something close to that," Travis replied, scratching his head. "And it looks like they want us to start with her debut album."

Jason chuckled, shaking his head. "Well, you're married to the woman, so you should already know all the songs, right?"

Travis laughed, but there was a hint of nervousness in his voice. "I mean, yeah... I know *some* of them. But not all of them. You think we should do it?"

Jason shrugged. "Why not? It'll be fun. Plus, I'm sure the Swifties will love it."

Travis leaned back in his chair, the wheels in his head turning. "Alright, let's do it. Every Wednesday, we'll pick an album and go through it song by song. Let's start with her debut, *Taylor Swift,* today."

"Sounds like a plan," Jason said, grinning. "But you know this means we're diving headfirst into a world of heartbreak and love songs, right?"

Travis smirked. "Bring it on."

In another room of the Kelce household, Taylor and her best friend Abigail Anderson were huddled together, both watching the live podcast feed on Taylor's phone. The two women were already giggling, knowing full well what Travis and Jason were about to get themselves into.

"Do you think they realize what they've signed up for?" Abigail asked, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

Taylor shook her head, laughing. "Not a clue. Travis might have heard the songs before, but he's never really listened to them, you know? This is going to be good."

As the brothers started playing the first track, *"Tim McGraw,"* Abigail couldn't help herself. "You know what? I think I'm going to troll them a bit."

Taylor's eyes lit up. "What are you going to do?"

"You'll see," Abigail said, a sly grin spreading across her face as she pulled out her phone to type out a comment. "Let's give them a little extra homework."

As the familiar opening chords of *"Tim McGraw"* started playing, both Travis and Jason leaned in, listening intently. They were taking this challenge seriously, determined to give their genuine reactions to each song.

"Okay, this is definitely country," Jason said, nodding along. "She's really young here, right?"

"Yeah, I think she was like 16 when she wrote this," Travis said, tapping his fingers to the beat. "It's kinda wild to think about. She's singing about this dude, and I guess she associates him with Tim McGraw."

"I can get behind that," Jason said. "The nostalgia factor is strong here. But man, she's really painting a picture, isn't she?"

Travis nodded. "She's always been good at that. It's like you can see everything she's singing about."

When the song ended, Jason turned to Travis. "Alright, so who's the guy she's singing about?"

Travis shrugged. "No idea, man. I'm just as clueless as you are."
