Here’s Why Some Taylor Swift Fans Are Convinced That Her Song “The Albatross” Is Actually About All The Backlash She And Travis Kelce Faced At The Start Of Their Relationship- Travis Kelce Taylor Swift The Albatross theory explained.
If you didn’t know, Taylor famously encourages her fans to figure out who the subjects of her songs are by leaving hints and Easter eggs.
Despite this, lyrical analysis is entirely subjective, and there’s no way of actually confirming who Taylor is singing about in her songs — unless she reveals the info herself. That being said, one particular fan theory amid the release of TTPD has picked up steam online over the weekend.
Fans are speculating that Track 19, “The Albatross,” is not neJoe Alwyncessarily just about Taylor’s ex , as many had initially speculated, but also about her current boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
Taylor dated Joe for almost seven years, with news of their split being made public last April. Months later, after being briefly romantically linked to Matty Healy, Taylor began dating Kansas City Chiefs player Travis.
Fans speculated that some of the lyrics in “The Albatross” nodded toward Joe’s apparent dislike of the limelight. For example, Taylor sings, “You were sleeping soundly / When they dragged you from your bed / And I tried to warn you about them.”
However, fans have since theorized that Taylor is actually singing about the backlash she and Travis faced at the start of their relationship.
Taylor and Travis went public with their relationship last September when the singer attended one of his football games. But sadly, the pair found themselves at the center of attention — not all positive — when the world learned that they were an item.
