Kansas City, MO, USA; Recording artist Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce react after the AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

It's the stream glitch heard 'round the world.

The YouTube stream of the "New Heights" podcast featuring Taylor Swift stopped nearly an hour and 45 minutes into the Aug. 13 episode. The X account for the podcast posted, "We hit a glitch but will be back shortly!!!" shortly after 8:45 p.m. ET.

Over 1 million people were watching the stream when the crash happened. WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark said, "Swifties so powerful we broke the internet" in a post on X.

The episode was one of the most anticipated of the year and marked the launch of Swift's new album "The Life of a Showgirl."

It covered a range of topics, including: Swift purchasing her master recordings, hiding in cleaning carts during the Eras Tour, and Kansas City Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid serving as Travis Kelce's wingman.

As of 9:45 p.m. ET, the remainder of the episode had not been uploaded to YouTube. The audio version of the podcast is available in full on Spotify and Apple Music.

USA TODAY has reached out to Wondery, the podcast's distributor, for comment on when the complete episode will be uploaded to YouTube and did not receive an immediate response
