This poet has found a new muse: Taylor Swift Swoons Over Travis Kelce in New Songs from The Tortured Poets Department
Taylor Swift isn’t holding back on her blossoming romance with Travis Kelce in The Tortured Poets Department.
Several tracks on her newly-released eleventh studio album appear to include clear references to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, whom she reportedly started dating in September 2023.
The most obvious example lies in track 15, “The Alchemy,” in which she sings about experiencing a romantic connection that “happens once every few lifetimes.” She includes multiple motifs tied to Kelce’s sport: “touch down,” “cut ’em from the team,” “warm the benches,” “winning streak.” In the bridge, she writes of a celebratory moment that could easily be used to describe her PDA-filled reunion with Kelce following his Super Bowl win this past 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.”
