It’s a record and a ring for Taylor Swift.
Just hours before announcing her engagement to Travis Kelce, the pop superstar broke yet another world record, having officially hit gold with her Aug. 13 podcast debut on Kelce’s hit “New Heights,” which he co-hosts with big brother Jason.

Guinness World Records revealed on Tuesday the episode pulled in 1.3 million concurrent views in a single day, the most for any podcast on YouTube.
The much-dissected episode, during which Swift also announced her “Life of a Showgirl” album, has been viewed nearly 21 million times in total.
Tuesday’s record is just the latest for 35-year-old Swift, who has broken so many that she’s been labeled a Guinness World Records ICON. As of her most recent birthday on Dec. 13 — the day she was given the honor — she boasted 80 records to her name, including highest-grossing music tour of all time and greatest seismic activity caused by a concert.
Despite Swift’s newest achievement, it was the confirmation of her upcoming nuptials that dominated the headlines on Tuesday.
Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 35, shared engagement photos in a joint Instagram post, captioned, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
