SWIFT TAKES CENTER STAGE

Taylor Swift stole the spotlight with her effortless vocal warm-ups, leaving fans in awe of her incredible talent. The sister act that is Jason and Travis Kelce tried to keep up, but let's just say they won't be winning any singing competitions anytime soon. Jason repeated "Ow Now Brown Cow" while Travis yelled out "Unique New York" ad infinitum.

Meanwhile, Swift breezed through a stunning vocal warm-up routine, effortlessly buzzing her lips and humming through an impressive part of her vocal range. The internet can't stop raving about her seamless performance!

The episode surpassed a mark previously set when Donald Trump went on Joe Rogan's show

Some fans took to social media to poke fun at the Kelce brothers' attempts while fawning over Taylor's incredible talent:

"'Taylor's like excuse me while I do this correctly," one Swiftie joked on X.

"Taylor doing it right and the boys just doing random stuff..." another fan quipped, chuckling at the comedic exchange.

While Taylor and Travis have that record, it's still a ways off the 26million views that then-candidate Trump got when going on 'The Joe Rogan Experience' last year

But amidst all the fun and games, Swift did share some seriously exciting news: her 12th album, "The Life of a Showgirl," will be dropping on October 3rd!

And the rest, as they say, is history!
