I’m not a Swiftie in the religious sense, but I do know her mythos enough to appreciate a baked-good cameo when I see one. There were the chai sugar cookies with cinnamon-egg-nog icing she shared on Tumblr for her 1989 Secret Sessions. There were the homemade Pop-Tarts for the Kansas City Chiefs offensive line.

On Wednesday, Swift appeared on the “New Heights” podcast, co-hosted by Kelce and his brother Jason, to announce her next album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” arriving Oct. 3. There were the expected big takeaways: reclaiming her master recordings, the album’s more upbeat tone and reflections on her history-making Eras Tour
