Taylor Swift didn’t hold back on addressing her blossoming romance with Travis Kelce on The Tortured Poets Department.
Several tracks on her 11th studio album, which came out today, appear to include clear references to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, whom she started dating last fall.
The most obvious example is on track 15, “The Alchemy,” in which she sings about experiencing a romantic connection that “happens once every few lifetimes.” Football and sports references are a motif throughout the lyrics: “touch down,” “cut ’em from the team,” “warm the benches,” “winning streak.” In the bridge, she sings of a celebratory moment that could easily describe the PDA-filled moments she spent with Kelce after his team’s Super Bowl victory this February: “Shirts off, and your friends lift you up, over their heads / Beer stickin’ to the floor, cheers chanted ’cause they said / There was no chance trying to be the greatest in the league / Where’s the trophy? He just comes, running over to me.”
“So High School,” a bonus track about going all-in with a new lover who makes you feel as giddy and exhilarated as a teenager, appears to be another ode to the early stages of her relationship with Kelce. Besides the title’s tongue-in-cheek allusion to the public’s crowning of Swift and Kelce as America’s new power couple—like a high school’s queen bee dating the quarterback—Swift makes a direct reference to Kelce’s occupation in the first lines of the bridge: “Truth, dare, spin bottles / You know how to ball, I know Aristotle / Brand new, full throttle.” She also alludes to Kelce chasing her, a pursuit that played out publicly after he revealed on his New Heights podcast that he wanted to hand her his number at an Eras Tour concert. Swift sings: “You knew what you wanted and, boy, you got her.”
