Travis Kelce has named his favourite song from Taylor Swift's hotly anticipated new album The Life of a Showgirl.

Speaking on Wednesday's episode of his New Heights podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, the NFL star admitted one track in particular has already won him over.

"I think Opalite might be my favourite," Travis divulged. "At least right now, every time it comes on, I always catch myself."

The 35-year-old's revelation comes just two weeks after Taylor herself announced her 12th studio album on the same podcast - a moment that has since racked up more than 21 million views on YouTube.

Elsewhere in Wednesday's episode, Travis gushed about the record, which is due to be released on 3 October.

"I keep listening to this album," he told Jason. "I know she mentioned it's gonna be a lot more pop beats and everything, but it's still so poetic in her melodies and her references."

The sports star continued, "It's just so much fun to listen to. I've been dancing all throughout the house."

When she first unveiled the project on the podcast, Taylor, 35, described it as a reflection of her private world during her 21-month Eras tour.

"This album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant," she said at the time. "I'm so proud of it. And it comes from the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life, so that effervescence has come through on this record."

In addition to the upcoming album, Taylor and Travis announced their engagement on Tuesday after two years of dating.
