Taylor Swift’s Boyfriend Travis Kelce Listened To “The Tortured Poets Department” Before Release
Just before the launch of Taylor Swift’s much-awaited album, The Tortured Poets Department, the Grammy sensation’s beau, Travis Kelce, got an exclusive sneak peek at her newest tunes. Sources close to the NFL star reveal that Travis, 34, had the privilege of listening to tracks from the album well before its official release on April 19.
According to insiders, Travis’ reaction was nothing short of admiration. “He is always in awe of her,” remarked one source, shedding light on Travis’ response to his girlfriend’s latest musical endeavor.
Shortly after the album’s drop, Taylor sprung yet another surprise on her fans. Just two hours post-release, she revealed that The Tortured Poets Department was not just a regular album but a double feature, adding 15 extra tracks to the mix. Among these bonus songs, two stood out, seemingly dedicated to her relationship with Travis.
In the track So High School, Taylor goes on about the rush of new love, hinting at Travis’ past interview where he mentioned her as the person he’d kiss among her, Katy Perry and Ariana Grande. The lyrics playfully tease, “Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me? It’s just a game, but really, I’m bettin’ on all three for us two.”
Moreover, in The Alchemy, Taylor cleverly incorporates football metaphors, a subtle ode to her NFL player beau. Lines like “So when I touch down, call the amateurs and cut ’em from the team” and “Ditch the clowns, get the crown” seem to allude to Travis’ athletic world.
But the references don’t end there. Taylor’s bridge in The Alchemy paints a vivid picture of victory celebrations, perhaps mirroring Kelce’s triumphs on the football field. Fans speculate that lines like “Shirts off, and your friends lift you up, over their heads” and “Where’s the trophy? He just comes, running over to me” could very well recount Travis’ Super Bowl win with the Kansas City Chiefs in February.
Just a week before the album’s launch, Taylor and Travis were spotted enjoying a romantic getaway at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The couple was seen getting cozy while grooving to Bleachers’ tunes alongside Swift’s pals Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Koeghan.
Before their Coachella rendezvous, the duo opted for a laid-back date night at L.A.’s Sushi Park, proving that even amidst Taylor’s hectic schedule, they still find time for some quality moments together.
