Ever since Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift linked up last September, their relationship has been the talk of the town. And now, with the release of Swift’s latest album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ fans have uncovered some interesting Easter eggs that hint at the couple’s connection way before they even started dating.
In an interview years ago, Kelce was asked the quintessential ‘Kiss, Marry or Kill’ question, and Swift’s name came up. Kelce jokingly responded that he would want to kiss the pop sensation. And it seems like she heard him.
In her song ‘So High School,’ Swift sings: “I remember that night in the hotel bar / You told me you wanted to kiss me in the car / And I remember that night in a different hotel bar / You told me you wanted to marry me.” Fans have speculated that these lyrics are a reference to Kelce’s playful response to the ‘Kiss, Marry or Kill’ question.
But that’s not the only hint Taylor has dropped in her songs that relates to her KC Chiefs beau. In the track ‘Alchemy,’ Swift sings: “And I know that you’re the one who put me on the map / And I know that you’re the one who made me laugh.” This is a clear nod to Kelce’s joke about how dating Taylor has ‘put him on the map.’
Swift also references the long trips she has taken to come and see Kelce play. In the song ‘The Lakes,’ she sings: “I’m taking the long way home / I’m going through the mountains / I’m taking the long way home / I’m going through the woods.” These lyrics could be interpreted as a reference to the long distances Swift has traveled to see Kelce play for the Chiefs.
The album has been met with critical acclaim, and fans have been poring over the lyrics, searching for any hidden messages about Kelce. And while Kelce himself has yet to comment on the Easter eggs, it’s clear that Swift’s music is a reflection of her blossoming relationship with the football star.
