Taylor Swift makes prerecorded appearance on Travis’ podcast, spends hours in NYC studio

June 16, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Taylor Swift didn’t attend the live taping of her fiancé Travis Kelce’s podcast on Monday, but she did appear in a prerecorded segment.

Several weeks ago on New Heights, Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, and Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, said that Taylor had helped Travis, a picky eater, to become more adventurous with food. That conversation led the podcast’s producer, Brandon Borders, to joke that Taylor feeds Travis by making “little airplane noises,” as parents sometimes do with toddlers.

As per People, during the live taping, the audience was shown that particular segment, followed by a humorous prerecorded video in which Taylor appeared to feed Travis a forkful of food while making airplane noises.

Taylor wasn’t at the LA taping. For the past week, she has been in New York City, where she watched Game 4 of the NBA Finals, got inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, saw the Broadway play Oh, Mary! and may possibly be recording new music. E! Online reports that Taylor went to Electric Lady Studios at 8:30 p.m. Monday and didn’t emerge until 6 a.m. the following morning, accompanied by her pals Alana and Danielle Haim of the band HAIM.

Meanwhile, her Toy Story 5 song, “I Knew It, I Knew You,” is #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Lainey Wilson had her ‘Phone, Keys, Wallet’ before the ‘Whirlwind’ struck

June 16, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Lainey Wilson’s got her “Phone, Keys, Wallet” and she’s getting ready to unlock the new music she’s been working on for quite awhile.

And it sounds like her new radio single featuring John Mayer is just the beginning.

“To tell you the truth, we were already in the kitchen cooking it up before Whirlwind was even out,” Lainey reveals. “I feel like we’re always writing because I don’t feel like I’m myself if I’m not creating and writing. I feel that’s the thing that like gets me through all the busyness and all the other parts of the job that exist.”

Whirlwind came out in August 2024, which would mean she’s already been crafting her new music for nearly two years.

“I think people are really gonna love what we’ve been working on,” she continues. “I mean, of course I’m partial, but I think it definitely is gonna like show another side of my artistry while always staying true to myself. But the more life I live, the more experience I have, the more I realize I’ve got more to say and share, and it’s gonna be good.”

“Phone, Keys, Wallet” is already a top-30 country hit.

New Gregg Allman documentary shows the rock star ‘without any secrets,’ according to director

June 16, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The new documentary Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul opens in theaters Wednesday, giving fans insight into the legendary Allman Brothers Band frontman.

For the film’s producer Michael Lehman, a good friend of the rocker’s, getting Gregg’s life on the big screen was important in order to show fans who he really was.

“The story about Gregg Allman is incredible,” Lehman tells ABC Audio, noting while fans saw Gregg as a rock star, “that’s really not who Gregg was.”

“Gregg was a quiet, shy, Southern gentleman [who] was the furthest thing in his mind from a rock star,” he says. “And I wanted the world to have the opportunity to learn about the man.”

The film’s centered around a previously unseen 2014 interview with Gregg. Lehman says it was shot after he knew he was sick with cancer and was “entering what would be the final stages of his life.”

The film’s director, James Keach, says as a filmmaker, the interview was “pure gold.”

“You get to see Gregg Allman without any secrets,” he says. “He’s at a time in his life [when] he doesn’t have to hide anything. So as an audience, he doesn’t hide anything from us.”

The film delves into the early days of the Allman Brothers, as well as the death of Gregg’s brother and bandmate Duane Allman in 1971, and how that affected the rocker’s life. It also explores Gregg’s many marriages, his addiction problems and what Keach calls the “beautiful redemption” of Gregg cleaning up his life.

It also features interviews with artists like Warren Haynes, Jackson Browne and Jaimoe, the last surviving founding member of the Allman Brothers. Keach calls it “a great tribute” to Gregg.

“I never got the feeling that anybody was ever jealous,” he says. “They were very grateful that they got to play with him.”

June 16, 2026 by WDNY Radio

K Camp has a new album out titled Giant. Speaking to ABC Audio, he says the title reflects how he sees himself and the legacy he’s building.

“What I stand for, the culture, my impact in the culture. How I carry myself on the music side, on the personal side and the business side. I feel like I’m a giant,” he says.

The album follows previous projects Kiss 6 and Built Different, which he says are all part of a larger story.

“When I made Built Different, I was like … I’m doing this independent s*** for real, like on a high level. So I got to be built different. I got be moving a different way from these n***** who say they doing it, but ain’t really doing it.”

That mindset eventually led to Giant.

“Now I’m like, OK, I really do what I said I was doing and what I wrote on them vision boards,” he says. “I put my money where my mouth is, I invest in everything I do, and I stand on 10 when it comes to my business and my music, so I feel like that’s just giant s***.”

Giant is a collaboration with producer Zaytoven and features fellow Atlanta artists, including 2 Chainz, as a tribute to his hometown.

“I got the free range and creativity to do what I want, how I want to,” he says of why he decided to honor his city with the project. “When I get that feeling, I don’t really go against it. … I feel like it’s the right thing to do at that moment, I got to do it.”
