“i fell so high school, every time i look at you, I want to find you in a crowd, just to hide from you” 🥰 the woman is loving TRAVIS KELCE so much YOU KNOW YOU WON

Taylor Swift has dropped her new album and the penultimate song appears to contain multiple references to football and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

‘The Alchemy’, the 15th song on ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ went viral in the minutes following the album’s midnight release. The bridge of the song is where the references to Kelce are the most obvious.

‘Chiefs chanting ’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,’ she sings.

Then the chorus kicks in: ‘Touch down / Call the amateurs and cut them from the team / Ditch the clowns, get the crown, baby I’m the one to beat / ‘Cause the sign on your heart said it’s still reserved for me / Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?’

Other parts of the song refer to ‘blokes warm[ing] the benches’.

It’s a slow song that is clearly about the man in her life, who she has been publicly dating since September of 2023 – when she went to her first Kansas City Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears.

But fans may have gotten tipped off about the content of the song long before the album drop.

Claims began circulating on Thursday that Swift’s new album, The Tortured Poets Department, has leaked a day early and Swifties than managed to snatch an early listen think at least one song is about Kelce.

‘The Alchemy’ apparently has multiple references that fans have interpreted to be about Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce.

One fan took to X and wrote: ‘the alchemy is clearly about travis lmao touchdown, greatest in the league, gloves on the bench… “where’s the trophy he just comes running over to me”

Another said: ‘There is one beautiful surprise – The Alchemy is about Travis!

‘References touchdowns, teammates, trophies and how they had an instant connection they couldn’t resist.’
