Taylor Swift made her podcast debut this week on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights, and she came ready to talk. The singer opened up about her commercially massive Eras Tour schedule, one that drained her to the bone but also gave her some of her best memories, including how a shared bread-baking obsession has completely taken over her and Travis’s downtime.

Taylor Swift on baking obsession with boyfriend
It started when Jason asked her how many countries she toured. “About 47,000 countries,” Taylor joked. Jason corrected her, saying it was 51 cities, and Taylor admitted she didn’t remember the exact number but knew it was “a lot.” When Taylor and Travis first started dating, the NFL star mentioned how he’d always wanted to travel around Europe, visit Australia, and see Asia. Taylor told him, “Well, I’ve got a tour for that.” So Travis joined her, and they got to explore the world together between shows.

Now that the tour is over, Taylor says she’s been rediscovering her long-lost hobbies. “I like hobbies you could’ve had in the 1700s,” she laughed. The Grammy winner revealed she likes to sew (mainly children’s purses and baby blankets), paint, cook, and bake. Right now, she’s deep into a sourdough obsession, to the point where she’s sending Travis loaves while he’s at training camp. The singer revealed she is even experimenting with flavours: blueberry lemon, cinnamon swirl, cinnamon raisin, and a rainbow funfetti sourdough she’s been perfecting for her friends’ kids. “I’m texting my friends like, ‘Can I send you some bread? Which one do you like better? I changed the rise on this one,” she said.
Later, she revealed how Travis got involved in this as well and ended up baking a couple of loaves himself, and one of them actually rose higher and tasted better than Taylor’s. However, there was one small problem: “Why is there chest hair in it?” Taylor asked, laughing. Jason immediately blamed Travis’s low apron as the reason behind this. “There’s chest hair in his and cat hair in mine,” Taylor joked. “Both are completely inedible.”

That didn’t stop the bread puns from coming. Taylor rattled off a few: “It’s a loaf story, baby, just say yeast” and “Loafing him was bread.” Even if some of them landed with groans, she kept going. “I had never experienced something so mesmerising on stage, and then so real and beautiful in person,” said Travis of Taylor’s charisma. Jason then joked that he probably should leave now and give the duo some privacy. “Yeah, I think so, honestly,” Swift replied. “At this point, I think everyone should leave.”

Looking back at the Eras Tour, Taylor says she’s glad she trained harder than ever before, so she started the tour with the energy it usually took her months to build. “I’m not an athlete, so cardio doesn’t come naturally,” she admitted. “But I wanted to be at my best from the first night.”
